Thank you, Madam Chair, for the question.
I think most people I know would not describe me as being intimidating. However, I think most people would describe me as being extremely expressive. I do wave my hands when I talk. I need to sit on them at times. But I have the utmost respect for all of the board members. If at any time my body language was inappropriate, it was definitely not something that I was aware of, and I think that the one instance that was being referred to was at the very end of two days of very intense meetings, and the chair had called for adjournment. I think that was the situation being described.
At the end, I did ask my staff—many of whom were present—whether they saw anything really out of the ordinary or inappropriate, and they felt there hadn't been. But again, it's perception. It's my perception and it's other people's perception, and I can only speak for myself when I say that in no way have I ever intended to be disrespectful to any of my board members. I've spent my life in the not-for-profit sector, in the service of boards, and to me volunteers are amazing, and I have never disrespected my board members.
