Your metaphors are a wonderful way to create and construct meaning. I love the Tune in Tool and waves as a way to monitor the level of emotions. Attendee CAGT 2016

I like how you bring in the Hero’s Journey and how gifted students’ differences are an invitation to this inner adventure. I want to learn more in how to help GT students understand this too. Attendee CAGT 2016
Hero's journey
Thank you for helping my son. Because of you he knows that ADD is an actual condition and he is not just lazy. I hear forward motion in his voice and see the movement in his activities. I have been praying for help with him for a long time and felt drawn to your name. I don’t believe in coincidences I call them God-incidences. You have my gratitude.
