Your words and website have been a wonderful blessing for myself and coworkers to keep our heads up and hearts in the right places these last two years as we experience more demands with less resources and support. Thank you for being part of the reason I didn't give up on teaching last year.

In one word, this course was practical! The content covered all the necessary areas needed to assist teachers in limiting the amount of STRESS we all tend to experience. Surveying teachers prior to creating the content of this course was key! The presenters are experienced educators who clearly recognize the daily challenges we face in the classroom. With each session, Paul and Marjan were willing to listen to our concerns, and then did not hesitate to offer suggestions, even if it meant getting back to us via email. I will definitely be implementing many of these new techniques for the upcoming school year. Thanks again Paul and Marjan!

I am a retired Principal who has spent much of my years lecturing and talking about the things that you both touch on. I find your ideas complimentary and refreshing. It is great to see people still focussing on meeting the needs of the people in education. Well done. I will recommend your products to my clients and participants.

This helped me refocus on many aspects of my teaching that I know are all-important for a successful classroom. I already have chosen several strategies that I am excited to begin with right away. The "homework" that was assigned after each session was very useful in helping me decide how I was going to apply that information to my own teaching situation. Thanks for helping renew my energy!
