"The speaker succeeds on a number of levels. What makes this speech stand out is that the message is memorable. The real test of a speech is how much does the audience remember long after the speech is over. I found that I was able to remember the key points of the speech long after I had listened to it for the first time. In large measure, the speech is commendable because the speaker does an outstanding job of fitting the message to the time available to her. The speaker succeeds as a writer and as a speaker. Her delivery is exceptional. She delivers the speech at a conversational pace and does a fine job of maintaining consistent eye contact throughout the performance."
