"Your presentation on the NBI Profile was very interesting and I know people really enjoyed being exposed to the system. I want to share the feedback I received about your presentation: Insight into new thinking patterns, a new perspective, insight into a valuable system not heard of before, understanding myself and my team, a different way to understand my strengths. This was a fantastic presentation. I see many possibilities for this instrument.
