Éric L Farrell's generally aims to inspire, edify, entertain, and motivate your guests. How did Éric L Farrell do with reaching his audience and achieving his objective? =

Eric greatly uplifted, inspired and "edu-tained" the audience. I make a concerted effort to present exceptional poets at the events I host, especially during the month of April, which is National Poetry Month. This is why I invited Eric to be featured for this particular event. He has always presented poetry with extraordinary messages reflecting his spiritual and humanistic insight; messages with inspirational foundations that often provide answers to questions that trouble and plague many. It has always been a pleasure to have him as a guest at my events.

Please include a brief note to Éric L Farrell about how he could personally improve on his communication or performance/presentation (constructive criticism is appreciated): = Just a personal request that you please include your skit where you depict the "homeless man" as part of your next appearance at one of my events.
