Var til et af Rikkes foredrag – blev virkeligt inspireret og fik mange refleksioner med, som jeg (stadig) arbejder videre. Rikke var en fantastisk nærværende foredragsholder, som virkelig har viden og ikke mindst baggrundsviden på plads og forstår at dele disse uden det på noget tidpunkt bliver belærende, bedre vidende eller jeg ved mere end dig. Fantastisk balance mellem selvironi, begejstring, fortællelyst og -evne samt inddragelse af os der lyttede – og lyttede. De grundstudier som ligger bag dette foredrag er på et akademisk meget højt niveau, som Rikke evnede at formidle i øjenhøjde, med respekt og egne erfaringer. Taknemmelighed er et stort ord – men også lige til, prøv det, det virker.
