It is also important for Isabelle to be able to see her presentation on her own computer (or confidence monitor) while speaking whenever possible. Sometimes, Isabelle shares videos and requires access to speakers. She also needs access to a flip chart to illustrate certain principles. Operate your life and business by design, not by default. ~ Isabelle Mercier SURPRISE + DELIGHT Isabelle loves to surprise and delight her audience. In her presentations, she often does surprise draws. It is important to have the flexibility and spontaneity to be able to execute these surprise and delight moments. ATTENDEES Must have a minimum of 50 ideal attendees in the room, and the freedom to promote Build To Rock, LeapTV, MyLeapTools, Trailblazers Retreats AND/OR LeapZone Services either in or post presentation.

It is important that all allocations made for Isabelle are also extended to her assistant.
