Testimonials
Judy, She Leads Conference attendee

I would like to thank you for your inspiring presentation. I’ve found myself reflecting on the Clifton Strengths and I chuckled when you shared how the strengths play a role in your personal life. I’ve since found myself having some moments of “Ah, that’s why,” when at home with my husband and family.

Shanna

I don't think I would've gotten this job though had I not gotten the other job to begin with. It was not my favorite job at all, but paved the way for me to get the job I truly wanted. So, thank you!!! Very excited and thrilled to see where this takes me!

Student in Volunteer Management course

For me, the volunteer management components learned during this course were incredibly significant. What I learned during the first couple of weeks could literally prevent my organization from getting sued.
