Excellence in Customer Service
I called for a team to share the work of a one hour conference call. Chad Henry joined me. He was attentive to my interpreting and was able to see when I needed a feed, he provided me with sufficient processing time before offering feeds, and he also spoke loudly enough that I could hear his feeds.
 
This was one of the more successful teaming situations I've had and it's particularly impressive since we have never teamed together prior to this call and had little to no opportunity to discuss our preferences.
 
I can only hope I was as helpful to him.  I would be delighted to team with Chad again.
