Here's what past participants have said:
"I have taken two courses from Jennifer and have been "blown away" by both the depth of her knowledge, her wide range of experience and her skills as a group leader and facilitator.
Her courses are highly informative, packed with useful resources and tools. In designing my own workshops and group coaching sessions, her detailed workbooks have become like bibles to me, a resource i can constantly refer back to.
She is a warm, generous and ethical coach and facilitator. What more can I say, but my ratings are *****+++" - Katie Curtin, CPCC, www.katiecurtin.com
"The Workshop and Retreat Essentials program gave me the tools, structure and momentum I needed to get started designing and marketing workshops and retreats. I came away with outlines and ideas for at least 3 workshops and 1 virtual retreat! Jennifer provides detailed notes and is very generous with her knowledge and tools. I particularly liked that she gave specific examples, and was able to tailor the classes to our skill level and goals. I would highly recommend this program! "
