I was captivated your passionate and expressive gestures and reasoning which ensured your talk was delivered extremely well. One element which I noted in your opening remarks was your use of the 'big theme'. the challenges we face as humanity. The contrast between what serves and what does not serve us. It is rare to hear speakers to address the issues in this way but it really reflects the scale or scope of challenges we face as a race. Individual heroes will not turn this crisis around. A collective of us can! A new responsible human needs to emerge through collective focus and commitment to create a new world. Thanks for your speech Dave Dear Frances

I was at the Be The Change conference with my new fiance and she started to understand what drives my enthusiasm for the WFC and the issues its members try to solve after hearing you and Vandana speak. Thrilling! With much love and thanks, Alistair Dear Frankie,
