Testimonial Time

As part of a FB challenge I am currently taking part in, we got tasked to ask somebody for a testimonial. At first, I came up with excuses of why I couldn't do it and then quickly realized that they were all bullshit really and I was just trying to rationalize not completing the task.

And what can I say: reading what I got sent made my day and I am very proud to share parts of it here:

"... I was immediately impressed by the precision and attention to detail K gives to every task. ... K gave the whole workshop a welcoming and professional air, while interaction with the attendees and solving minor problems was done with poise and good humour. 
...K’s main role ... was as Head of Meetings and Events – a demanding role for a society with over 3500 members – she managed a diverse range of events including our flagship Annual Congress hosting over 1000 attendees... .  K carried this role each year with aplomb, without ever appearing stretched.  Her personal characteristics dovetail well with this type of role: a cultured and thoughtful character with a fine sense of personal integrity and the drive and determination to always ensure a deadline is met.  K is an absolute ‘keeper’: everyone I know of who has worked with K wants her back!"


First of all I was overwhelmed by how much thought he had put into it. I expected a couple of sentences and not a full page (the above is just a part of what I received). 
Thanks to Christine for 'making me' do this 😊
