      • "Leo was an exceptional public speaker. He easily connected to the group and kept them entertained and engaged. Also, he had some very visionary concepts in his presentation. He nailed home the people/human side of business will be the most important skill in the future. The week was a success, the energy that was created prior to his session was continued, and I will have to fill in the skill gap on “Influence” in the near future."
