CUSTOMER COMMENTS
Nancy Cronier, "Not only is your book an invaluable read and resource, I appreciate the Insight Breaks and laughed out loud at many of the Humorous Insight Breaks."
Jody Hagan, "I completed your home study course last night and tried out some of the suggested approaches on a client today 'feel, find, found' which worked like magic!!! I am thrilled. Great presentation and I am finding a lot on benefit with all of the info I read. So many techniques that are helpful that they don't teach in Nutrition school!"
Keiza Clubb: "It will help me be more comfortable in asking questions when discussing subject matter that I don't know well but want to learn. It will also help me be more confident in sharing knowledge that I know well. Changes I hope to make are building more confidence and being more interactive in conversations instead of standing back and just listening."
