I’ll tell it to you straight, that was one of the most impressive storytelling activities I’ve been a part of. People felt heard and there was real progress. It brought us to the next level.
Your clarity of vision when things are ambiguous is a real gift.
You are the best thing we’ve spent money on to make this summit happen.
You are probably one of the best question askers I’ve ever encountered. I get goosebumps when I’m in the presence of real skill, and I’ve gotten goosebumps more than once when you ask a question.
I get better coaching from you all than I do from my manager. And I know that I can tell you juicy details, and you’ll keep a secret. When I become a private investigator, you’ll be my priest/therapist.
You brought creativity and fresh thinking when it came to designing client sessions. So many people comment on how you masterfully move a group forward or slow it down as need be.
Ida is special. She got us and the nuance of what the issue is. She can see us.
I’m glad to have seen your calm under pressure. It’s the exposure to and learning from actual good leaders that I want more of.
That was one of the greatest moments of my career.
