"You were such a pleasure to work with on this event. I am truly grateful for having the opportunity to meet you and become your friend. We all felt the energy from our audience at HDI 2009, people eager to learn and take back useful ideas that positively impact their teams. You offer the perfect blend of contemporary ideas that inspire people into action, a fresh sense of humor, realistic anecdotes, and plenty of stage charm.
And, now that I've had the opportunity to read every session evaluation, it's clear that your messages resonated with the audience. Aside from comments such as “fantastic,” “laugh so hard I cried,” “very engaging,” and “best session ever,” one person summed it up: " Guy is extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and a great teacher and speaker. I will definitely be able to use these ideas and guidelines back at work.” You truly made a difference. Thank you.
You were in the company of many outstanding, highly rated speakers. This 2009 group generated the highest overall performance ratings in my long career in conference program development. It was a delight to me that you received some evaluations with straight fives, yielding an overall rating of 4.88 on a 5.0 scale and placing in the top three speakers.
Thank you so much for your contribution to our success."
