“Facilitation of a meeting where there is a wide diversity of opinion and broad range
of experience represented in a group is a daunting challenge! Of course that is always complicated by one or two in
the audience who think that they know all the answers and have the most incisive comments to offer. How I wish I
were as sure about anything as some are about everything! You handled that all admirably. It was fun to watch you
at work!”

guy to get to the win/win!"
