The Top 10 of whatever does not go beyond the boundaries of the USA or the English language. How extraordinary - or is it?

Seven is a lucky number? I don't know how you can say that. With this top-ten/bottom-ten list, seven forever ties you together with OJ Simpson.

He's right about you. I was at the ICF conference in St Louis for your presentation, and really appreciate how you weave in stories and humor so beautifully. I also appreciate how you communicate naturally, even a little punchy/tired that day. I'll take natural over rehearsed any day!
Here's a pic. Sorry, but your eyes are closed in it. We sold several books from this blog post though: http://www.inspirationalbusiness.com/2006/11/guy_kawasaki_ru.html

I totally disagree with his selection of Nancy Pelosi...of course, he is a little biased considered he consulted with her. I would not consider her a great communicator at all.
Also, I would think more radio personalities would be considered as well as evangelists.

Interesting group of people. Can't say that I disagree with most of it.
