  I was given a real lesson of passion and courage during your Bucharest conference ... Besides the “how to’s” and the insights coming from your experience, I believe that what recommends [Anthony Silard, President of GLI] as a coach and speaker is [his] ability to empathize, inspire and encourage people to speak up, make and assume the responsibility for their own choices.

  I was also able to use some of the leadership techniques to open conversation with my family to help them get a better focus on what they want. We are all just going through the motions I feel without a great vision for the future. We all have goals but no real plans to get there!
