“The audience [at the Petersberger Trainer Days] is one of the most demanding you can have: Trainers and personnel developers who are often on stage themselves and want to move others. You mastered this challenge perfectly. You captured the audience with a lot of charm and humor and delivered your content in a witty and entertaining way. Your keynote speech is not only funny, but also inspiring, refreshing and different.”
