I just wanted to tell you how absolutely outstanding your presentation was yesterday. I missed getting the chance to say goodbye and wanted to be sure you knew just how much of an impact you had on our audience. I know in the near future, you will be hearing from our leadership team who will be sending a special recognition of our appreciation. In the meantime, I just needed to mention that our listeners, from Analysts to Partners benefited from your messages. It was evident how much of an impact you made when I could hear your same messages repeated during the remainder of the day by leaders who delivered the afternoon sessions. In particular, our most senior leaders were so impressed, I wouldn't be surprised if you were invited to speak to a broader selection of that leadership team. My sincerest thanks for making the trip and sharing your experience with us. It was memorable, practical and so very relevant I could not miss the opportunity to tell you how absolutely pleased, entertained and educated we were, by Mike Mullane?s talk to our group. I have been doing this a long time and I can not think of a better, more focused and ?spot on? talk. I will certainly recommend him for future engagements here! I just wanted you to know that we are starting to get back the results of our conference survey and are seeing nothing but great responses to Mike Mullane. I believe many walked away with a validated sense of priority for their projects and initiatives. Mike managed to impart some very wise and important messages about team play and individual responsibility...they are not mutually exclusive as some might have thought. Mike's personal experiences have shed light on ways to achieve goals through focus and determination. We have a new catch phrase around here?"Zero Neutralization Zone: No Deviation from the Standards Allowed" Thanks again for getting him for us. I hope this e-mail finds you well and your autobiography well on its way! The feedback from the TL Forum last month on your keynote has been simply tremendous. I have personally fielded numerous requests for the slides you presented specific to teamwork and leadership. I noticed while you were speaking people trying to write down your quotes and wisdom as fast as they could. Dear Mike, I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for your wonderful presentation in Columbus. It was not only an inspiring and informative presentation, but also just the right mix of being lighthearted, entertaining and humorous which was needed after a couple days of intensive sales training. You hit just the right blend of teamwork and leadership "You will be pleased to hear that your messages are reverberating around the hallways here. I don't recall any other speaker who has created so much positive dialogue. Well done!" "We have had management retreats for the past ten years and your presentation was the most successful one ever. Thank you very much for your words of wisdom which apply to every aspect of our business. The feedback from everyone was extremely positive!" "I was able to review your presentation with my team and interject my feelings of teamwork, EVERYONE'S responsibility for safety, etc... This generated a lively discussion around what we could do for each other in terms of building trust and rapport. It was wonderful!" YOU WERE WONDERFUL!!! Everyone is still talking about you and your messages! Thank you again. You truly were an inspiration. Pacific Gas & Electric: The response on your presentation has been exceptional. I am an air quality consultant that works with Shell Canada Ltd. and was lucky enough to have been invited by Shell to hear your presentation yesterday in Olds, AB. Your presentation "Countdown To Teamwork” was excellent. You are one of the most dynamic and powerful speakers I have come across and your message is an important one. When it comes to safety, teamwork is paramount and your lessons concerning teamwork were presented in a fashion that ensures they will easily come to mind when needed. Keep up the great work you are doing...you certainly have "the right stuff". I especially latched on to your lesson about past successes breeding complacency. I have worked for two organizations that made the same mistake. I had the pleasure to attend your presentation on May 14th (in Minneapolis). You did an outstanding job...If I ever have the opportunity to recommend a speaker for any major event here at 3M, your name will be at the top of the list.... I got a chance to sit in on your presentation during the National Safety Council Congress in Orlando and was impressed. Your presentation, by far, was the best that I attended while at the conference. What a wonderful story on how a single person can still make a difference. Many thanks for entertaining and motivating us to stay the course in our pursuit of safety excellence. Our group REALLY enjoyed your presentation and as one delegate said to me “I went into the room wondering what an astronaut could teach me about safety and came out with a terrific new insight into how safety works on the jobsite”. Thank you again for making such a wonderful presentation at our event, we’d be happy to recommend you to any other group! I was in the audience last Tuesday for your speech at the Oregon Governor's Conference on Safety and Health. Boy, was I glad to get your boost of energy for the conference and receive some distinctions which really made a difference in my life. I presented the two day course on Fall Protection (Weds/Thurs) and threaded your thoughts and maxims into every part of my presentation to encourage Courageous Self Leadership, Taking a Stand and "I want you to be more Successful than Me". Thanks again Mike for your infusion. P.S. I hope you don't mind that I have forwarded this thank you note on to the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) for consideration of you in a future national Professional Development Conference.
