"Than you" just doesn't seem to cut it. It's hard to find the words to express our gratitude to you as a patriot, as a speaker, as a leader of men and as a contributor to the Blackhawks. I just wanted to pen a quick note of appreciation and let you know how impactful I find your presentations. Beyond your inspiring stories of perseverance, your insights on improving human performance vis-a-vis preparation and execution is pure gold. Our prospects would be wise to heed any and all advice you provide. Implementing even one of your recommendations would mean improving as both an athlete and as a person.”

You CRUSHED it at our event last week! Our group clearly couldn't get enough and would have enjoyed more time with you, as evidenced by them lining up to meet you.The only downside is I have NO idea how I can top you as a speaker at our next annual meeting!”
