We guarantee Patricia Fripp's performance if….

1. The audience is not exhausted, drunk or been up all night. (This frequently happens the last day

of an incentive trip.)

2. The size of the room is appropriate to the size of the audience. It is better to have them squeezed in tight than have a ballroom that is too big. (Hotels typically do not set chairs close enough to build rapport. Chevron style setup is preferable.)

3. The room is well lit, the sound system works and the audience is close to the speaker.

4. There is a riser so Patricia can be seen by your audience.
