One of the outstanding presentations lauded by fellow presenters was for Nick Amadori, Senior Vice President from UST who highlighted, &#8220;Nutritional Learning&#8221;&#8230;so well digested by the gathering. He shared with us UST&#8217;s participation in a study by The National Leadership Council and what the challenges are that leaders and their corporations are currently facing. A highlight of Nick&#8217;s presentation was the importance of leaders to nurture the development of their human assets&#8230; that they provide clarity of business directions and goals, establishing buy-in&#8230;and finally the most crucial application, making an environment where integrity of feedback between subordinates and managers takes place on a spontaneous basis. That caused one of the participants of Benchmark 2003 to suggest that &lt;i&gt;The BrainSmart Leader&lt;/i&gt; be read by The National Leadership Council. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Marshall Tarley, Director of Leadership Development at ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers), gave the audience raised eyebrows. What was unique about this presentation was that Marshall&#8217;s PITT&#8482; team presented to the onlookers their outstanding results sans Tony Dottino. How did they do this, you say? ASCAP worked out a licensing agreement with DCG which utilized DCG&#8217;s intellectual property thereby successfully duplicating PITT results. The Chief Operating Officer at ASCAP said, &#8220;I see tangible results, with people doing the right things through correct teaching&#8230;and we&#8217;re moving in the right direction.&#8221; As Marshall closed his presentation, &#8220;You cannot duplicate Tony Dottino, but you can duplicate his performance and get the same results.&#8221; 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	&lt;b&gt;&#8220;ASCAP impressed me as an unconventional client, who you wouldn&#8217;t normally expect to use PITT. It proved to me that through the proper PITT principles it can work in any company or organization.&#8221;&lt;/b&gt; 
&lt;/p&gt;
