15Fantastic speaker who helped his audience pull back from focus on tax-specific topics that often demand a disproportionate amount of time.
16I thought he was an excellent speaker, very dynamic and easy to follow but not because his content was shallow.
17He was awesome, relevant, and interesting!
18Loved him.  Ordered the book over lunch break.
19Presented very interesting information and a new way of thinking.
20I very much liked Geoff Colvin, I might buy his book and read it. I like that it wasn’t so tax based, but overall business based.

23I thought Geoff was a very interesting speaker who held my attention the entire hour.  I loved how he inserted humor into his presentation.
24He was excellent
25He was a very engaging speaker and the topic was spot on. With all the discussions around bots it was reassuring to hear they will still need humans!
26I disagreed with his use of Tesla as an example of a company that creates significantly more value than its competitors and other companies since Tesla has been only infrequently profitable and the “value” he referenced is based on speculation at this point. Otherwise good presentation.

48Mr Colvin was a very engaging speaker.  He really kept the audience’s attention.

Those are important skills, but in our profession, technical skills and knowledge still rule the day
