Our team absolutely loved Sean. He energized the room, delivered deep insights with authenticity and humor, and genuinely connected with our people. He exceeded expectations on every level and was one of the true highlights of our event. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive - consistent themes of amazement, inspiration, laughter, and meaningful takeaways. On a side note, I participated in a presentation the next day. At the beginning of my part, I waved my arm, introduced myself with a pause in between my first and last name, and nodded my head three times. The audience responded with laughter because of the strong connection to some of the techniques Sean had taught us the night before. In another presentation, Dr. John Rush, our CEO, when speaking about our mission and values, summarized the importance of connecting for keeps with our patients and Sean’s insightful instruction. “It’s about love."
