Let me congratulate you on an outstanding presentation to Johnson & Johnson's Senior IM Management. Your remarks were on point and easy to translate to our environment. Your delivery was nothing short of inspirational. I can't remember an outside speaker engaging our audience so thoroughly with such credibility. I think our people are now much better equipped to face 'impossible' situations. I would expect that other J&J organizations will be booking you in the future.
