2. She made a darned good point --

(paraphrasing here) -- It's not just lies that can be repeated over and over and over. The same can be done with the truth.

It might be a good idea to keep that in the front of our thinking. In all caps and 100pt font.

4. Here's the video(s) for those who missed it:

She appears in the first video, is Rachel's guest on the show in the second. I met her once in person when I went to hear her speak - and she signed my book!

5. Thanks.

She attended my high school, or I attended hers a few years later.

6. Oh, that is very cool! She is one brilliant speaker.

I went once to hear her speak and there was a reception beforehand where she signed her book ("Team of Rivals" ). I got 3 books, one for me and 2 for friends I knew would be interested. It wasn't a big reception, but the book signing line was so long, there were just so many people, that she only signed one of my books, her hand must have been ready to fall off! She did give a great talk, though - and the auditorium where it was held was full.

7. Yes!

I love it when she says that telling stories is the best way to communicate with folks. The facts and figures are very important, but tell it in a way that helps you see the whole picture, connect the brain and the heart.
