Testimonials from the Field
The course that has been created is structured, easy-to-follow, and breaks what may be seen as big concepts into small manageable amounts that can be learned and practiced a little bit at a time for optimal student learning.
Karen’s extensive training in Social Emotional Learning makes her uniquely skilled to offer such a rich and educational programme.
I remember so vividly the conversation you and your younger son modeled together in one of our classes. I was so inspired by it yet had so many questions! That seed was planted at just the right time though… It’s been a slow awakening but in my efforts to improve my communication skills I was better primed in my own personal growth to take on that next level of communication with my kids that you introduced in class.
