PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON

In 2009, I arranged for an even more charismatic person to come to London to speak at an event I was arranging for a charity I supported - and was a Trustee of - the Lord’s & Lady Taverners – that person was President Bill Clinton.

I persuaded Sir David Frost to come and host the event.

It was an incredible evening and Clinton was amazing – and YES he is that charismatic and charming.

His first comment on stage was that he didn’t want David to interview him – because look what had happened to the last President he had interviewed! A reference to Richard Nixon.

Clinton, who is acknowledged as the best speaker in the world, spoke for 1 ½ hours and a 1,000 sophisticated and blasé people - were mesmerised and completely blown away by his personality – particularly the women!

None of us had ever heard such a motivational and inspirational speech – and we raised a great deal of money for the charity – and we gave him a special Lady Taverners tie!
