We met at the PPA Meeting at the University of Houston. I just want to say thank you for coming out. It was one of the best speeches I’ve heard in years. Thank you for showing us how to define ourselves. I came out of that meeting knowing so much more about myself than when I came in.

Your 10Ks have had a profound impact on my life in just the few hours that I have known them. I feel lucky and honored to have been present for your speech and I will always remember it and the valuable lessons that you bestowed upon me.

The 10K presentation was excellent. The points are effective and I will include them in my daily and professional routines. Specifically, I’ll be sure to make use of them on job interviews. It was refreshing to hear such an inspirational speaker, thank you!

It was a pleasure to meet you during my recent visit to Darden, if only for a few minutes. Your contribution to the weekend’s experience made an impact. As a prospective student, the pressures of the GMAT, applications, and interviews tend to skew our notion of our personal brand. It was good to be reminded that as individuals, we have unique contributions to make to the world around us and have a responsibility to make them count when opportunities arise. Thanks for sharing your insight!
