I have just arrived back in the office from the Jobs Australia conference and I wanted to drop you a quick line and say how much I appreciated your workshop on Wednesday. I purchased the set of audio CD's and am finding them a very helpful refresher of the subjects we covered. Your presentation alone made it a worthwhile trip.

Just wanted to pass on a quick note of thanks for last week?s rather inspiring presentation that you gave. I have often felt that we sell ourselves short when it comes to making our dreams a reality. I realize that not all of our dreams will turn out just how we want them to, but one never knows until they try. I feel rather inspired to start trying a few things that I have in mind and see where it leads!
