 I was impressed with your knowledge and presentation skills, and your wealth of real-world examples and applications as well...I found you to be unusually authentic and approachable. You taught networking and linking as much by example as by word; we felt that we were all working as a team with common interests in mind...Practical techniques--I'll use them tomorrow!...I can use this in building purpose and trust with a peer group.
