“Deborah, No one should attempt a book without having you stand right next to them.” (April 2011) Warmly, Mac Alexander Macdonald, 2010 attendee and now author Lighting Your Own Fuse: A Glossary of Mission, Vision and Values

“I had a fabulous time. I hoped to learn a lot, but I learned way more than that. Much of it was information that I didn’t know I needed; but now that I have it, whole new vistas are opening up. I was equally dazzled by the you who were there. Sensitivity, encouragement, invaluable insights – wow! Thank you all for coming and sharing so freely. What an experience!” –Katie Munoz, Owner, Moving Forward, Inc. (Co-author “Get Organized Today!”)

“I just wanted to chime in and express my thanks to all the inspiring presenters at Saturday’s event. I so enjoyed meeting and learning from you all–what a mind-expanding day it was! –Rebecca Davis, StoryConscious, Teacher and Writer
