Feedback
“Was it worth it? Words are inadequate to describe this experience. Not easy to go thru emotionally, but outstanding presentation. Transforming.”
"To be bold, take opportunities where they are, to plant the seeds of kindness and change. I can’t even put into words the change that has come over me this week. I came expecting to be ‘taught’ how to teach others. What I got was a lesson on me. I have found myself, my spark, my inspiration to draw from. Who I am, where I’ve been and where I’m going. Realizing how I can be a force for change from within to make a difference in the hearts and minds of those around me."
