TESTIMONIALS - FROM SEMINAR HOSTS AND CO-SPONSORS:


"Susan is an amazing speaker! She captivated the audience and every single person said they walked away with tools they could use, not only in their professional life but in their personal life as well. I'm looking forward to hosting another event with her in the near future!
Linda West, Director of New Business Development, All Metro Health Care, 4/13/17, seminar at All Metro Health Care


“I attended and co-sponsored Susan’s “Conscious, Compassionate Communication Skills” seminar for social workers and case managers at Brandywine Independent Living in Melville on 10/25/16. I loved her seminar, and so did the whole audience based on the feedback I received. It was great for me as a co-sponsor. I was able to re-connect to and set up meetings with several people there I had known, re-opening doors that might have otherwise been closed. I found it to be a very valuable experience." Laura Giunta, Director of Community Outreach, Senior Helpers Home Care, 10/25/16, seminar at Brandywine Huntington Terrace
