“I wanted to take a few moments to thank you for the BIG difference you made in the way I look at situations and handle stress. Your training techniques really worked when I actually took the time to try them. It took less than an hour to mend a professional relationship that had been severed for 11 years. It’s hard to believe that simple communication skills are all it took to free us from a heavy burden that my co-worker and I were dragging around for years. It is a pleasure to work along side this co-worker and others now that I can see the things we have in common, what I admire in them, and their professionalism, instead of being blinded by old conflicts that I had a role in too.” —Annette H., Renton
“I cannot thank you enough for your extraordinary presentation, ‘Healing ‘Isms” in America. You presented in a way that was piercing yet non-threatening.

You then masterfully tailored your presentation to help address some of those current concerns. It is always a pleasure to work with such a true professional as yourself.” —Giuseppe Alvarado, National Management Association, Port of Seattle
