I have heard nothing but positive reviews. You kept attendees engaged and more importantly thinking critically about service/experience. Many have already talked about how they can bring this back to their organizations and teams. It was probably the highlight of the agenda.

Joel G. Newman – President and CEO of American Feed Industry Association

Our committee relies on its speakers to offer a quality program – and you certainly delivered! We fully recognize we would not have such a successful event without the excellent presentations and stimulating discussions provided by talented individuals like you. I think everyone had at least one, if not more, take-away messages that they could implement in their own organizations as soon as they got home. Your contribution to the conference is greatly appreciated.
