Thank you for the great presentation you gave yesterday. I’ve only heard great comments since. I believe people needed to hear your message. On several occasions, I have personally felt that you were talking about me, my situation, what I wanted my manager and team to understand, what I need as an employee. It felt like you were reading my mind, it did me a lot of good.
