Testimonial
Emotion Coaching Workshop for Summer Camp Leadership Team
Thank you so much Heather for sharing your expertise with our Leadership Team here at camp. It was an informative and practical workshop and we had some fun too! Our team found themselves practicing the tools the very next week and were talking about situations and reminding each other of what they learned. I have seen them pass the knowledge onto our cabin leaders and continue to use and recognize the skills taught that day. We are a better team of care-givers and fun-makers because of our time with Heather this spring. Thank you so much!
