How he presents
Neal arrives by walking through the audience carrying a treasure chest to the stage. He does not speak from behind a podium, instead uses the stage as a platform, and at times interacts with his audience. The combination of the treasure chest, its content, which Neal pulls from as examples of overcoming barriers and real footage of Neal rounding Cape Horn made history at IBM. Plus, he is extremely easy to work with. This is a fascinating story of the sea, and one man's hope, determination and joy for life.
