"Gary Moore’s presentations are just like his book – heartwarming, funny, poignant and most of all, inspiring. If you haven’t read Playing with the Enemy – read it – now! If you haven’t heard Gary speak, find out where is going to be next, or better yet, book him for your own organization or company, you won’t regret it."
