Inspirational is an understatement. Two weeks after Kevin Gaskell addressed the delegates I was still getting rave reviews. Kevin stirred the audience of business leaders by his ability to articulate his experience and relate it back to his interpretation of business strategy.
His unique and professional and yet seemingly unintended style is most refreshing. I asked him to spend some time with my team to demonstrate how to achieve potential success.
