Thank you:

"First, I want to say it was a great time talking with you. You are quite something. You listen and respond with such genuine interest, it was very refreshing! 

Second, I went to your HOPE COACH seminar, in the brief time you spoke I became a better hypnotherapist.  The way you explain things regarding weight are awesome!  I have been flubbing my way through my interpretations, which seem to be having effects on clients. Thanks! "
