I like the analogy of ocean waves and emotion waves – and that there are degrees of feelings, just like different colored flags on an ocean beach. I want more time to learn about this!

I like how you showed us that sensitive or gifted kids aren’t inferior or defective, they’re Different by Design!

Thank you again for a fun and informative presentation to my graduate students. Several students made a point to tell me how much they got out of your presentation. The exercise you facilitated is one they really enjoyed and learned from. Thanks for being such a good resource for me and my students. You shared a wealth of information and I am most appreciative!

Many thanks for your presentations to the Support Group and to our Team Retreat Day. Your wisdom and presence deepened all the messages for each event. Core team members said you were very helpful in finding our purpose, and that you helped break a logjam in team dynamics and enabled us to move forward as a team.

Thank you for the seminar you provided at our church about parenting children with ADD. The positive responses I received from those attending were deeply felt. They were touched by the breadth of your knowledge and insight. You were a resource to them on practical ways to engage and encourage kids with AD/HD. Thank you for sharing your expertise in this important area.

CASIGYs’ mascot is a cute way to visualize differences. Kids relate to your analogies. Attendee, CAGT 2016

Honestly, this really helps me understand myself a lot better. I learn that I can heal myself and find my place in life. I feel that I’m not alone with my feelings and sensitivity. Thank you so much!

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

We’re ALL using the ACES tools almost every day in some way. It helps our intense family members all be more peaceful and take challenges in stride much better than we used to. Mom of 7 & 9 year old highly sensitive boys.

“Since using the Personal Power Pyramid almost very day, we’re recognizing our limits in time to honor them, instead or running right over them like we used to do. This helps us in so many ways.” Mom of 10 year old gifted girl.
