Thank you so much for bringing your energy to our team!  I have received so many positive comments from yesterday and found out this morning that one of the participants went back to work and shared with one of his colleagues that the session was excellent.  Many have said that the morning was exactly what they needed…even though they were a quiet group J!  Thank you as well for the handouts.  We will share them with the participants and I also shared a link to your newsletter with them yesterday.
