Hearing about his experiences, created a lasting impression on me. Moreover, his demeanor, confidence and poise struck me as something I needed and wanted to learn more about. I found Nando to be the most pleasant, altruistic and confident person I had ever met. He was so confident with himself; he radiated serenity, which made him very charismatic and easy to be around.\n\n \n\nPatrick Finley\n\n \n\nOhio YP\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Testimonios \u201cNando\u2019s presentation on his life experiences was one of the best I have heard in my career with EY\u00a0 In providing a griping overview of his story and the impact on his life, he humanizes the experience with everyone in the audience while highlighting key life lessons such as the importance of teamwork, gut [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-977","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.2 -
