“Gordon made the session work by showing up as a person, not just a presenter. He spent time genuinely connecting with the group rather than moving through slides, and that came through. The small group format gave space for real conversation. Sharing his own hacks and lived experience is what made it stick, it felt like learning from someone who had actually done the thing, not just read about it.”
