"David, I just wanted to thank you again for the great job you did, presenting at our November 2011 Waterloo-Wellington IIBA Chapter meeting.
You brought style, smarts, and enthusiasm to our meeting, along with warmth, and charisma. Your quick wit, thoughtful insights, and humorous, engaging style kept us entertained for the entire evening. Your experience, knowledge and success provided the chapter members with an opportunity to learn from an individual who continues to excel, in an ever-changing world. Our members enjoyed not only your message, but also the humorous and real life way in which it was delivered. The ratings you received on our Meeting Survey were all “Excellent!”.
The subject matter and topics discussed were very applicable and relevant to the BA’s and PM’s. Your presentation and “delivery” of the material was perfect for our meeting.
You are on the top of the Chapter’s list, as an outstanding motivational speaker. The Chapter has rated you as one of the best speakers; we have ever had the pleasure to work with.
