“Hi Craig. You spoke at our Wilsons Leaders conference at Silverwater Resort, VIC in August last year and I thought I would take this opportunity to follow up with some feedback about your session. To this day I am still receiving examples of where people have used your ideas, thinking and examples and of course lots of general positive feedback from many of the participants. We also ran a post conference survey and of the 50 attendees – 11 thought your session was good and 35 saying it was excellent ( the other 4 did not complete the survey). This meant that you received the best speaker result for the conference and as I mentioned people are still talking about the session.” Kylie Johnston, Chief People Officer, Wilson Group
