A Sampling of Participant and Sponsor Comments:
“Thank you for your talk for the Stanford community. We were delighted with the large attendance at the event, and the feedback we received from those who attended was enthusiastically positive. I think your approach, which is both practical and accessible but not simplistic, was a very good match for a thoughtful, high-achieving community such as ours…Many thanks again!
–– Teresa Rasco, Director, Stanford University WorkLife Office, Palo Alto, CA
“Our thanks for your willingness to put together a “soulful,” thoughtful and insightful presentation…It was highly regarded and rated excellent by the participants – one described it as ‘terrific, practical, informative and truly enjoyable.’ …Thank you for making our 4th annual conference on women’s advancement a successful one!”
–– Debra Abeshaus, Director, Office of Women in Medicine, Brown University, Providence, RI
“I can’t go to bed without letting you know just how FABULOUS I thought your talk was! I did get a chance to talk with some of the participants after we finished up, and everyone was just blown away by the thoughtfulness of your material and the calmness of your presentation. Thank you so much for coming and sharing yourself and your work.”
––Diana Barrett, The Vincent Club; Boston, MA
“I really liked the simple and straightforward way you talked about slowing down and tuning in. Your concepts are easy to grasp. I feel that you speak directly to people with training in psychotherapy, like me, just as effectively as to people with no background in psychology- yet I don't feel that you have diluted any of the concepts.”
––Stefanie Wolf, AAP conference participant, San Francisco, CA
“It was so wonderful witnessing your splendid stage presence, easy manner and great talk the other night. How many times have you had such a large audience during a tornado watch? Thanks again, Abby. Everyone enjoyed it so much. We're all much more relaxed, traveling down the river.”
––Margaret Weinstock; Mamaroneck Public Library, NY
“It was a fun evening and you were wonderful and just so calming. I don’t think I have ever seen our group that quiet. They all immediately decided to go with you and actually relax…”
––Catherine Shanahan; New England Women Business Owners, Waltham, MA
"Thanks for a great evening! I think everyone enjoyed it immensely--the boisterous camaraderie at the beginning of the evening, followed by your gentle wisdom was a wonderful counterpoint that made the event complete! I think everyone took home something that they will work into their own routine to quiet their busy lives. I really enjoyed meeting you--and introducing you to my friends at Great Women To Know--your tips and techniques have made a big difference for me--I only wish I had found them earlier in my parenting years!"
–– Meg Rokos; Great Women to Know; Andover, MA.
