                   BP:
                   "My name is Barbara Murdoch. I'm a retired human resources 
                    coach and am writing you on behalf of Ian Rose, whom I've 
                    known for almost 10 years. 
                     
                    We became acquainted through my employer, Amoco Corporation 
                    (now part of BP), where I contracted with Ian for his consulting 
                    services in leadership strategy development and contingency 
                    training options. Writing about someone I know and like is 
                    only difficult because I very much just want to say 'he's 
                    great - you'll like him - everyone does.' Here's why. 
                     
                    Ian cares about what people think and how things work. Listening 
                    is an active, not passive, skill for him. As a result, he 
                    can recognize subtle connections or distinctions which most 
                    people overlook. This gives him the unique gift of taking 
                    an everyday, routine occurrence and turning it into an interesting 
                    event. He will see more negotiable options than most folks 
                    I've known. Which, in turn, translates into success for him 
                    with all kinds of people. Suffice to say there were never 
                    empty seats in the room when he was present."
