However, I was extremely engaged by what you had to say and am actively trying to incorporate your insights into how I work.” Stephen Swift, Ford

“Matt O’Neill, I am not given to being insincere, so when I say it was a fascinating, engaging keynote, you can be assured I mean it! Great job, I need to be more ‘mind fluid.’” John Maguire, General Manager EMEA, SugarCRM
