I enjoyed the 2 mornings together and since, I have not stopped linking our discussions to my day to day life experiences whether they are professional or personal. I learned so many useful things. I did not expect to learn that much! You are a very good communicator and you have all the qualities to train people. I could see that you love what you're doing and "ça fait du bien" to see people enjoying their job!"
