What is the best expression used by an employee to appreciate his/her employer?
* It is not appropriate to say あなた to your boss. Call by the title plus the name.
  * happyo → happyoo
  * ha → wa
  * Using the non past form here is wrong. Use the past tense.

answer
Here are some options:

  * スピーチ／演説{えんぜつ}お疲{つか}れ様{さま}でした。
  * 今日は、 _社長{しゃちょう}／Aさん_ のお話{はなし}を聞{き}くことができて本当{ほんとう}によかったです。
  * _社長／Aさん_ のお話、たいへん[感銘{かんめい}](http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E6%84%9F%E5%8B%95)を受{う}けました。
  * _社長／Aさん_ のお話、たいへん感動{かんどう}を受{う}けました。
  * _社長／Aさん_ のお話、たいへん勉強{べんきょう}になりました。
  * _社長／Aさん_ のお話、たいへん **ため** になりました。

Mostly inconsequential, but someone could object the use of 発表{はっぴょう} when
referring to a distinguished figure such as one's superiors in rank.

Also note the use of Hiragana for 大変{たいへん} in the written language when you
are praising someone or _want to appear smart or knowledgeable_. You can use
大変 in Kanji when you talk about something negative or adverse:

  * 今日の仕事{しごと}、本当に大変でした。
