John’s incisively witty comments are as fresh as the headlines but they are also philosophical since his views reflect a keen sense of the rich history of his dynamic, ever-changing hometown.
While the capital continually changes, John shows the many ways it doesn’t and memorably explains the real difference between a million and a billion dollars.
With the deft use of 80 clever color slides – many of which he took – John’s breezy comments provide views not ordinarily seen. Audiences from all across the country wind up not only enjoying the capital more,
but perhaps even understanding Congress. Some dub Capitol Hill “the cave of the winds” because it takes ‘em an hour to cook Minute Rice and they can spend more money in 2-minutes than most taxpayers can
earn in a lifetime. Audiences invariably chuckle when John quotes excerpts from floor debates and the countless Congressional hearings he’s attended and testified before.
While Washington, DC was once thought of as a sleepy Southern town, those days are long gone. The booming capital is a cosmopolitan area with expensive restaurants, upscale shopping areas, posh hotels, a
modern Metro -- and unbelievable traffic jams. You’ll learn how it’s a marketer’s Mecca and why it’s been dubbed Silicon Valley East” and attractive area for all sorts of employment. While audiences
laugh repeatedly while learning from Daly’s insights, he concludes on a personally patriotic note that’s truly upbeat by quoting Churchill on democracy.
While displaying a dramatic backlit shot of Old Glory, Daly uses the final 90-seconds to recite A Toast to the Flag the widely-acclaimed
poem his late journalist father wrote in 1916 to mark President Wilson proclaiming the first Flag Day. Since the poem then becomes in such demand, he makes a copy available to meeting planners.
John has always offered planners a 100% satisfaction guarantee -- or no fee/expenses need be paid. He also can make available his Quick Quiz to Test Your IQ re DC that challenges and intrigues audiences.
It can be sent to meeting planners who may wish to mail it to early registrants and then later provide answers.
While his basic talk is both educational and entertaining throughout, John encourages planners to allow 15- to 45-minutes more for a lively, no-holds-barred question-and-answer period. This talk has been
presented to hundreds of groups and in many formats before varied audiences who visit the national capital. The Hotel Association of Washington frequently schedules John to give his informative talk to its
changing army of concierges. He guarantees that no matter how well you think you may know DC you will learn something new from his talk.
