Harry Kraemer shared four hours of common sense in the form of spellbinding storytelling that was anything but common, and seemed like 20 minutes. He integrated every question and comment into his discussion. Then Leigh Thompson caught the attention of some experienced negotiators with a hands-on case study that was followed by the executive summary of a semester-long course. Nobody will start negotiating purely from his own perspective again!

Wow, phenomenal all-day session at Northwestern/Kellogg…Easily the best FEI event in 10+ years. The trip to Evanston is not as painful as it looks and even if it was it would have been worth it. Harry Kraemer and Leigh Thompson were sensational. Thanks to all who helped make it happen! Hopefully this was the first annual.

Kraemer is authentic; his energy is contagious, and he looks younger than his 57 years. Perhaps that's what happens when you make a habit of reflecting, doing your best, and doing the right thing. After all, what would you have to worry about?
