Feedback
Just wanted to say a big thanks. Your session was the highlight of the conference for our 200 managers and they were all talking about how inspiring you were. You have an amazing energy that is very contagious which rubbed off to all in the room.
Congratulations. I've been with Kennards for over a decade an I can tell you they have never given any speaker a standing ovation before. So when you get three standing ovations, you really need to know you've made an impact.
Thank you so much for your presentation at our conference. You definitely hit the mark with where we are currently at as an organisation and the feedback we received on your session was great. Particularly the fun manner in which you shared your suggestions on how the sales people can lift their performance were very inspiring and so practical to apply.
Thank you so much for your Chiefing talk at our senior leadership conference. Wow. I don't think I've ever seen our people give any one a standing ovation. I even saw some of my engineering leaders with tears in their eyes. Your talk was the highlight of the conference for most of our leaders and has set the template for the performance of leadership in this business.
