Speaker	Speech title	Evaluator	Summary
Sanu Samuel	Your Big Dream, your Mission in Life	Rob Koenig	C&L #2 – Sanu challenged us to identify the Big Dream in our life and make it into reality. We must dream big, but the dreams must be definable and achievable. If we document our dream, identify smaller goals, and get moving, we can get results.
Wayne Dupont	How Tos of Successful Negotiating	Joe Mewhiney	AIC - Wayne stated that we usually settle for less than we should when negotiating. The results of any negotiation are win-win, win-lose, lose-lose. Both parties need to express what they want, be honest and direct, show appreciation, and stick to the issue. A role-play illustrated these points.
Elisabeth Ludlage	Ice Breaker	Bill Dussault	Elisabeth told us about growing up in Alberto and living on a farm. Figure Skating helped her develop time management, a work ethic, and discipline. She attended the University of Alberto and obtained a science degree, and lived in New Zealand as a dairy veterinarian. She works at the New England Primate Research center as a primate veterinarian
