Your talk was probably one of the most useful talks on women in leadership I've ever heard. I was impressed with how many useful, concrete pieces of advice you gave.

Thank you very much for coming to speak at Abbott Vascular! It was so wonderful to have you. Having been involved with professional organizations for many years, I've been to countless career development and related lectures. After awhile they really do all start sounding the same, and I begin to feel like I didn't learn much (though they can act as a wonderful validation that I already have the tools I need to succeed).
Your lecture was different-I learned so much that I did not know before, thought of things I did know in a new and enlightening way, and left feeling more empowered than I have in a very long time--and I'm not even trying to flatter you (just telling the truth!).
