Martha,
Just a quick note of thanks for including me in your big event on Friday.
Your message to the room was outstanding! And it made me go back into our archives and listen to the interview you did for us on VOF.
You have a fantastic talent for connecting with a large audience in such a way… it’s a gift!
I love what you do for sure… and I especially LOVE the way you do it.

Serving as Chief Operating Officer for an organization, I have participated in numerous team-building exercises over my career. Recently I had the pleasure to participate in a team building exercise Martha led for our staff. I was immediately impressed with her organization and facilitation skills. Her approach is authentic, motivating, and focused. She has the uncanny ability to ensure inclusion of all participants resulting in an inspirational, transformative experience for all. The best I ever attended.
