Robin- Malcolm was terrific yesterday- He has a lovely, charming style while at the same time delivers a very provocative set of ideas. The senior group we had him speak to loved him. Thanks for your help.

Dear Malcolm:
I want to thank you for all your efforts in making the 2006 Annual Leadership Meeting an extraordinary event. I believe our field leadership left the meeting with optimism and excitement for what’s ahead in 2006.
Your ability to connect the concepts and ideas outlined in Blink to the issues and challenges our firm faces every day was uncanny and right on the mark. I think those in attendance have a better understanding of the importance of honing their decision making and people judgments and the impact those skills will have on our business going forward.
Thanks again for being part of this important event.

"Dear Mr. Gladwell,
I write to thank you for a fantastic speech. While I've read your books and am a big fan, my responsibilities . . . precluded me from hearing your talk. However, it was reprised throughout the day by so many people that I feel as if I were there. In fact, one of the EVPs—not faint of heart—indicated that you brought her to tears with the message about how valuable each and every individual is. With a polarized political situation, that's a refreshing message! Thank you so much for making the trip and for setting the bar so high in your books, your articles, and now your speech."
