call you when I am in Switzerland? Do you work

I still speak so
fondly of my time with you. I don’t know
if I have ever expressed this to you but what
you did for me and my speaking ability was one
of the biggest professional obstacles I have ever
overcome. I went from being extremely
anxious about presenting in front of large groups
to actually looking forward to it. I have had
so many people complement my presentation style
because it is so conversational and I truly owe
it to you! Thank you!
Amy C. Harmon,
Roche Labs Inc.
