  • “THANK YOU for your presentation today. You deserve to know how that my friend and I were greatly inspired by your talk, particularly by your ideas about breaking our current roles down into specific skills that we are learning, and how to deconstruct the career-as-ladder metaphor. We are going to make some mind-maps tonight! My friend and I just graduated in May, so we were particularly touched by the advice you were giving. In any case, I wanted to let you know that like the man you mentioned who is heading up GoogleServe, you are also changing the world.”
