"Peggy, I just had to write this note tonight [Freelance Forum] while your presentation was still fresh in my mind. You were fantastic! For every difficult truth, you provided humorous commentary or an anecdote to make it go down easier. You also provided this anal-retentive, "pretty organized" person several "ah-ha" moments. Although I'm sure you don't need it, please feel free to use my name if you ever need (another!) reference for your skills as a speaker."

"...You would be so proud of me... the next day after your seminar I began reorganizing my work space and files. I redid my hanging file drawer and purged stuff that had been there for over 10 years! Then I worked on the desk top files. I even created a system for the stuff on my desk AND dejunked my email messages for good! I was already in the reorganization mode before the class but then that just really fueled my fire. Thanks!!!"
