Great session! Perfect mix of data, insights, quotes, examples, and humor. Easily one of the best sessions at the conference.

Your session at Build Business was outstanding, Ida! I was happy to grab the last seat available…on the floor. You packed the house with your compelling content and delivery! Thank you for sharing your expertise!

Ida had a clear point of view and information of interest to the entire audience, regardless of their experience. This is a tremendously difficult goal to achieve.

We need more expert presentations like Ida’s! This is the benchmark for an $800 conference. Ida, you elevate our profession and make us all better marketers!

Ida is an engaging presenter who is able to take complex ideas and break them down with clear, actionable takeaways.

LOTS of good information! I took more notes in this session than any other. Not only were my questions answered, I got information on things I didn’t think about.

Best break-out of today. Topic was highly relevant and one I’ve never heard/seen presented. Excellent speaker with the ability to present info in an approachable way.
