I still have a lot to learn, and I am doing so by coming to your website and listening to what you have to say. Cheers, Roxana Hi Vincente

Your philosophy is just what I aspire to put into action as soon as possible. Breaking down a client's wishes, question by question, and room by room is just what is needed. I've copied your format and will use it in it's entirety. Please, don't concern yourself with your interviewing skills, they are thorough and honest. Thanks for being so generous. I'm reading your books over again and look forward to your next one. jackie c , . I saw and heard you in San Francisco and Las Vegas, this fall.

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:51:41 +0000 http://vicentewolfblog.com/?p=982#comment-2326 WOW! Thank you!!!!!! I love that you break it down to the "emotion" of the room. How clever. What a great way to build upon something that not only fully engages the client in the process but is ultimately a true reflection of their personalities (which is obviously always the goal). I will absolutely take all of this and incorporate it into my programming phase! I had assumed that since I submitted this days before the Skirted Roundtable interview and within that interview you answered the same questions, that was it! You and your staff are such kind individuals to take the time to answer this is such an in-depth manner. I know that you have not only helped me tremendously, but countless others as well. Thank you for being such a strong leader within our design community. A true professional. I hope that you are feeling well, I have been having you on my mind and wishing you a speedy recovery! Thanks again, Andrea V. WOW! Thank you!!!!!!
