"It is not often that someone can see the vision of a company on a screen for the first time, hear some of the leaders discuss it and then present a keynote that relates exactly to the organisations strategy, almost like you were part of the team that created it.
"Your ability to incorporate our business experience with what Keycorp are going through really gave credibility to everything you said. I thought the way that you drilled home the message that it is up to the individuals to make it happen and when everyone makes it happen that’s when it all happens."

"To hold an audience of over 100 business people spellbound at such an early hour from beginning to end is quite a feat.

"In this day and age, there are so many activities that people attend, the result is that they’re very critical in their judgement as to who was worth listening to and who represented a "so so" presentation or a complete waste of time.
"The view was unanimous that you were worth every moment of the time people gave to hear you. Quite frankly, I have never seen anybody conclude an address on as high a note as you managed."
Don Cameron
