“Thank you very much for your keynote presentation at the Women’s Health Conference this fall. You have a unique gift in your approach, sharing life stories and reminding us all that we take life’s situations too seriously. Your message is one that participants can apply to life. You gave us the insight to value our “circumstances” rather than perceiving ourselves as victims. Great speaker, excellent presentation.”
