Vinny did an excellent job outlining his four measurements for leadership success and kept our Managing Partners engaged with his compilation of leadership-based stories and events from his tenure with the military. I can always tell when a speaker has our guys engaged when I see each person in the room hanging on every word while taking copious notes. We would be honored to have him back! Thank you so much for this wonderful recommendation!
