Referring Rotary Club | Santa Clarita Sunrise |
Comments | Ara is a very gifted speaker, very dynamic and very smart. He has been speaking professionally for over |
20 years and is recruited by various Fortune 500 companies and corporate clients for his keynote | |
speeches and workshops. Ara's talk is called "Six Great Men" and is about the Founding Fathers of the US | |
government. Ara has a personal interest in what unique leadership qualities and personality traits brought | |
this diverse group of men together to craft our Constitution. It is a very fascinating and engaging | |
presentation but it is not political in that it does not address any current political leaders or our current | |
process of government. | |

and quite a lot of humor. John is a good public speaker who has many stories to tell with the "facts". | |
