“The feedback I received was entirely and overwhelmingly positive. Well organized, interesting, thoughtful presentation. People loved the balance of anecdotes vs concrete actions that people can take away and use. On a personal level, I loved the camera switches! It added a nice dynamic touch that added to the engagement factor.”
