"I was truly amazed and very much appreciated how much value was put into this symposium. I'm just a casual subscriber, but after viewing this presentation, I immediately did some research and am excited to be following the symposium for upcoming content/articles and news. I'm energized not only about my career, but the potential it has for the future and I owe that enthusiasm to the content in this session. I am incredibly grateful too for Sharon's ability to make clear all the jumble of things I've been thinking of with her spreadsheets. That clarity is so motivating and has provided me with some much needed direction on my convoluted to-do list."
