"That was awesome!! The conversation was entertaining and engaging. This group is more introverted, but you were very skillful in keeping them engaged despite their tendency to be quiet. Your style is compelling and drew the group in. I enjoyed watching you work skillfully with them despite this challenge. It was particularly impressive given that you were on Zoom!"
