Your talk really was exceptional: you engaged the audience so well, you had so many relevant examples of companies that did or didn't put failure to work, and above all the topic resonated so well as we - especially here in the US - seek to take more risks and move into more unfamiliar territory to drive greater innovation. So many people commented to me afterwards how much they enjoyed your presentation and learned from it. It was the perfect combination of fun and actionable content!
