"Thank you so much again for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and time with the iPlacers this morning. Your presentation was fantastic and relevant for both our managers and aspiring managers. You did a great job of driving (with a Volvo) home the importance of managers developing their team members, making them feel genuinely important, and encouraging them to become heroes. Hopefully our aspiring managers got the nudge they need to take a chance and propose ways to create value – especially in showing leadership in implementing new technology.
