“I saw you presenting in Banff Institute in Canada last year, it was a part of Leadership Exploratorium. I just loved your presentation; there was so much to think of, to inspire from, very entertaining as well. So is your book - The Art and Science of Communication. I took inspiration from your words and your book and observe people in various situations trying to figure out where the problem is, how to fix it. - Marie, Czech Republic ”
