“Please accept my sincere praise for Catherine. She did an outstanding job of presenting. I was amazed that Catherine held the attention of 66 managers for four hours and I believe many wished like me that we had more time with her. Catherine led several dynamic discussions and provided us with much food for thought. In short, she exceeded my expectations and added great value to our Symposium.”
