On behalf of the Gold Coast Tourism Bureau and the Australian Association of Convention Bureaus (AACB), I would like to thank you for your contribution in making the AACB Gold Coast Conference such a success - you are in a class of your own. As your story is about courage, loss and challenges, it transported the listeners into your experiences, into your awakening. Your delivery was powerful and effective and you certainly had the audience with you all the way, conquered, inspired and enriched. You would no doubt have noticed during the coffee break that followed your presentation the magnetic pull you have - it was wonderful to witness - you were like the Pied Piper - people were mesmerised by you. I know I speak on behalf of my colleagues when I say I wish you could have spoken for another hour or two. I have seen your presentation on two separate occasions and when I sat down to listen to you last week, it was as if I was hearing it for the first time - that is how skilled you are as a storyteller? Thank you again and I look forward to the next time we meet.
