”Thank you for putting on such a great performance – your contagious energy and spirit was exactly what my team needed to regain motivation after a tough year. Your message on differentiation and “what was your brownie” was incredibly poignant for our people as they continue to look for ways to stand apart from their competitors. The point you drove home regarding the importance of keeping after success despite all odds, was exactly what my team needed to hear. I’m certain this will reverberate in their memory as they face a difficult year filled with many challenges. I cannot thank you enough for igniting a much-needed spark in my team and myself.
