I want to thank you for sharing some of the most well prepared, thorough and thoughtful content that I have ever heard shared by a 90 minute keynote speaker, it was excellent. I also particularly enjoyed your book, it was very well done and provided lots of practical ideas for the reader. You have a confident, yet zen-like presentation style, very calm, curious and open. Your encouragement to allow others to be open and to be vulnerable was impactful. You gave me a lot to think about and for others as well. I do hope that we can stay in touch. You have a powerful message that I think resonates with many people, so thank you for sharing it with all of us.
