Conference Evaluation: "Ed's extensive knowledge of past and current thinking on leadership. Ed facilitated great discussions by offering ample opportunity for doing so. Ed's ability to pull out of the group that which was evident to him. Everything - mostly Ed himself. Tremendously knowledgeable and wise presenter.
