"Thanks again for coming to speak with our Brand Managers at our last college in October.  Once again, your mind opening presentation and dynamic delivery style inspired the BMs to think and act differently. One student commented, 'So refreshing to have someone come in with a sense of realism that is energizing and makes you get out of Procter mentality and push the boundaries.'  You provided the perfect close to a great week and got them pumped up to take everything they learned this week and do things differently." - Gina Gourley, NA Marketing Capability Manager, Procter & Gamble
