Dear Ray,

Your talk "New Year-New Career," was a smash hit with our ExecuNet audience at CareerLab. As you know, the 50 attendees were senior executives across all industries and functional areas, and they always expect a lot. Satisfying them is no small challenge.

Your talk received rave reviews, both the day of your presentation, and for weeks after. Lonnie Templar, a senior marketing executive told me, "Wednesday with Ray Watwood was really dramatic." I know by speaking to participants that you have gone out of your way to assist several of them personally, and that means a lot to us and our reputation in the community.

It is obvious you were well prepared. First of all, you attended several ExecuNet meetings in advance to get the feel of the crowd. Second, you showed up very early to make sure the room was set up properly. (As program chair, this always gives me a sigh of relief.) And third, your talk came off smoothly, as though you had rehearsed it several times before. Your PowerPoint slide show—complete with remote control—was very helpful.

Most of all, Ray, I think the audience really appreciated your willingness to share your own personal experiences from the heart, which is very rare and beautiful. As you pointed out in your talk, all of us face life transitions-and your story, so vividly told, gave all of us the encouragement to move ahead in our own lives—and not to fear change.

In the last several years, we have had some remarkable speakers at ExecuNet—but yours was certainly the most professional speech we have had. Your fee was more than fair, and we plan to bring you back again and again.

With thanks and best wishes,

William S. Frank
President/CEO
