Testimonials
One of the most rewarding parts of our role as trainers is to read the feedback from our participants right after we have presented a seminar. We ask each person to fill out a simple form telling us what they learned, what training methods they found helpful, and suggestions for ways that we can improve future trainings.
Most of our participants give their feedback anonymously and here are some of the things we've heard recently.
"Child abuse is a scary topic but I felt so much more knowledgeable after the training. I don't feel afraid anymore, I feel empowered to help the children who need it."
"I was afraid to come to a nine hour Conference; it seemed like it could be overwhelming experience. I am so glad I came though, it actually was so much easier to engage during this long day than a typical 2 or 3 hour training!
Thanks so much!"
"The energy you bring to the room is amazing! Thank you for renewing my spirit and filling my 'emotional tank'. I can't wait to get back to work on Monday!"
"I feel so great, even after 9 hours of intense training. When can I get you to come to my center and do a training for my team?!"
"AMAZING! Who knew that after working 14 hours that I would enjoy attending a workshop but I am so glad that I came. It was great to hear from trainers who have done, and are doing, the work that we are day in and day out!"
"Stress has always been a problem for me. Now I know that there are ways to politely create boundaries for the people I work with. I love them all but it's true that I'm not their mother. My health and sanity is just as important as theirs."

Dear Kristy,
We really enjoyed both sessions. We enjoyed the format that you and Candice used (i.e. topic presentation, sharing of personal stories, etc.) The classes were very engaging. The topics were interesting and applicable to our everyday work. It's always great when you attend a workshop and then go to work the next day and put to use the things you learned. For us, that is a sign of a great workshop. We are looking forward to attending some of your future
workshops as well as discussing with you the possibility of
coming to our center to do a staff workshop.
Thanks again,
Bobbie and Sarah
