Many of our attendees do come needing that special “uplifting” to continue in their careers.  Theirs is not an easy life….taking care of patients who have debilitating illnesses; heart-wrenching diseases, or possibly terminal cases. And, now, many of our military case managers also see our returning soldiers with not only major physical problems (amputations, burns, physical impairment, etc.) but mental repercussions, as well...

I was one of the 2900 folks at the CMSA conference last week in Orlando who sat, stood, laughed and smiled my way through the week, recollecting your time with us.  The best thing I can share with you is that several members of my CT chapter were there, and are wonderful folks, if not usually on the fairly negative "that's not how we do things" side...usually very stoic and reserved.  It was so wonderful to see and hear them alternately "zoot, zoot, zooting" each other, or hissing "YESSSSS! EXCELLENT!" when our chapter won an Innovation award.  

You hit a nerve somewhere with them and it was so good to see!...

It was my pleasure to spend time with you.  I really enjoyed meeting you and your energy is so infectious that I am now starting to rub off on people around me.  I hope very much that our paths cross again soon.  Hugs to you too and ZOOT ZOOT!!!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful session.  You did such a fantastic job. The halls were filled with "Ta Da's", "Excellents", and resounding "Yes's" at every turn.  I have had so much positive feedback it does my heart good to know that all the hard work was worth every second.  There are many speakers out there, but few that really make a difference. You are one of those and I take your energy, message and fun fairies with me everywhere. Thank you so much for everything.
