I’ve been meaning to email you ever since (the) seminar to thank you for once again inspiring me in my teaching. You do a tremendously great job. I felt invigorated and excited to get back to work—so, thank you again. I think the positive, student-orientated message you deliver is so very important. We all respond so much better to affirmative cues and positive reinforcement of behavior. Keep up the good work!
