"I could have happily listened to David Whyte talk for the entire day."

# data[].attributes.body
"David Whyte's keynote was a magnificent blend of the practical and the literary, and the kind of talk to make you look at yourself, your work and your life. The beautiful lines from Dante in Italian and English, and from Wordsworth's Prelude, as well as his own poetry, were welcome and unexpected, and made you want to go and read the work for yourself. As he recited the Prelude, you were practically standing in Grasmere alongside Wordsworth as he looked out at the Lake District. Just fabulous."

"WST is the kind of 'UCD community' event that is so badly needed in the institution. It brings all colleagues together, on an equal footing and so offers a challenge to those in UCD who would wish to create a divide, in particular between what are described as Faculty and Staff. The senior leadership in UCD need to look at the philosophy behind WST and embrace its positivity and inclusiveness as part of an overhaul of leadership practices in the institution."

"David Whyte's Keynote address was just wonderful - very refreshing, challenging and thought provoking -definitely provided a fresh context on 'bigger picture' thinking and support for stepping outside your comfort zone. Really hope the message gets through to those that need to hear it and the wider UCD audience who may not have been able to attend, that:   it is ok to make mistakes and for things to go wrong in order to progress or try new things. Where a culture and context of fear and/or coercion exists, as in so many pockets of UCD, this is neither helpful for the individuals involved, or for UCD, to 'work smarter together'.  It was brave to invite David Whyte to give this session. Let's try to continue to be brave by trying our best to practice what he preached! "
