Calling on ThinkMagic, Inc, they have requested for Kostya to present two key-note speeches and talk about the issues that are most important to them – Customer Service and Teamwork. Update: The keynote speeches were a huge hit with the crowd – and I truly enjoyed the time I spent with all of the employees of Southern Title. It’s amazing how reserved a group of people can be when a speaker first walks out on stage and then how fast they unfold their arms, sit back, start laughing and open up their minds to new discoveries. The audience participation was quite extraordinary and the comment cards filled out after the speeches were just as rewarding. |
