What a way for our conference to open - we couldn't have wished for better. Melissa Clark-Reynolds was outstanding - we couldn't have asked for more. Gut-wrenching emotion, laughter, tears, 'sudden intakes of breath'. Melissa touched the audience in so many ways.
We treasured your contribution to the Summit, not just your truly fabulous presentation but also your lovely energy and enthusiasm. You totally hit the mark!
You stimulated our Board thinking for the rest of the day. A key message being the jobs we are educating our children for, possibly won't exist by the time they leave school!
