Communications Training
Carolyn and John were both very humorous, and their role playing was a great pleasure to watch… to sum the whole experience up, it was effective, relevant and received well by the whole staff. We can’t wait till the next presentation.
Stephanie Coolidge, La Jolla Veterinary Hospital

Communications Training
Your workshop set off some interesting discussions even after you were gone. We are a team that prides itself on good communication but as is human, we don’t always get it right. Hearing different perspectives was quite interesting…
Linda Lobb, The Cat Doctor, Boise Idaho

Sing-Alongs
It was endearing to watch you in action engaging so many of our participants: even the quietest came to life with you.
Gloria Baker, Glenner Memory Care
