“After your keynote, almost everyone crowded into your breakout session, so we had to move you to a bigger room - and still had to bring in extra chairs. You were a huge success!”
Trudy Gygi, IBM Women's Leadership Institute "You were such a joy to work with! You arrived early, joined us for lunch, and chatted with many of the participants before and after your program.

And as you could tell from the laughter and applause, your light-hearted Merrill Lynch poem was also a big hit!"
