Fabulous Keynote Presentation
Marie-Claire you promised us a firehose attack and you succeeded. I thought it was a fabulous presentation. It was wide-reaching, insightful and from all the scribbling that was going on, some really useful stuff for participants. Massive value for us to drink that information in because it improves us not just as leaders, but as leaders in a more holistic way and stimulating our minds to give information to really take home.
