Dear Lilo:

Thank you for speaking at this year's 3M Professional Office Support Staff Recognition Event called 'The Challenge of Change'!

Challenges are inevitable. Defeat is optional! Your remarkable life story proves that optimism and resilience can triumph over personal and professional obstacles.

Even though you became blind at a very young age, from a medical misdiagnosis, you strive to become an athlete whose expertise in Olympic events of shot put and discus has earned you Olympic gold medals and many world record titles.

The presentation was a unique blend of humor and savvy that inspired our audience to reach new levels of achievement and to use adversity to their advantage. Your message gives individuals and corporate clients the opportunity to use the basic principles of Commitment, Change, Creativity and Courage to channel people to re-energize themselves for personal and work challenges.

Your message was sincere and the delivery captivating. You have a natural talent to make a connection with the audience. Your relaxed and genuine style makes this presentation truly outstanding and memorable. Thank you!

Warmest regards,

Linda E. Kanick
3M Meeting and Event Management
