I have been professionally critiquing speakers for more than three decades and I have never heard such a meticulous, relaxed, articulate, authentic and composed speaker who did not use any notes whatsoever, as when I heard Charbel Daniel speak for the first time. He truly is a gifted speaker who is inspiring, knowledgeable, well-spoken and has an ability to capture and resonate with an audience immediately.
“He brought an honest, practical perspective to the conversation and made it so easy to talk about the realities of long-term care, both from the perspective of those receiving care and those working within the sector.”

Having Charbel on Kitchen Table Care Chats was such a great experience. He brought an honest, practical perspective to the conversation and made it so easy to talk about the realities of long-term care, both from the perspective of those receiving care and those working within the sector. We had a great conversation about what happens when mistakes or incidents occur and the importance of focusing on solutions. It truly felt like we were sitting around the table with a colleague, having an honest conversation about long term care.
“Charbel speaks with warmth, confidence and authenticity, and you come away feeling not only better informed, but also with a sense of purpose and inspiration about what can be accomplished with vision and passion.”
