TERRIFIC! The participants just loved you. Thank you for your sharing your knowledge and for your sense of humour!
I went back to my desk and immediately revamped one of the pages I am responsible for. It made my life 100% easier in managing the content, and it now has links instead of long descriptions. Can't wait until we have part 2!
We received very positive feedback for your depth of knowledge and the way you could explain concepts in a very simple, relatable way. Thanks again!
