WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT JANE NELSEN
“We could not have asked to receive any more valuable information than
that which you gave us! Your information was straightforward and detailed
as to dealing with all ages of children and family relationships. If I had
to choose a description of your presentation which made it most
meaningful, ‘a common-sense approach to parenting’ would be my
description.”
—Leslie Hayes, Co-Chair, Alcohol and Drug Conference, Junior League of
Hunstsville, Inc.
“Everyone felt you presented ideas and approaches useful at home and in
the classroom, enhancing discipline, communication, and most of all
promoting the self-esteem and dignity of our children. Your enthusiastic,
insightful (keynote) presentation set the tone for the whole day,
presenting outstanding models of intervention and prevention for children
‘at risk’.”
—Bruce Ettinger, Executive Director, The Children’s Institute
“We felt your workshop on Positive Discipline/Empowering Teens and
Yourself in the Process was of great value. We continuously refer to your
presentation. Parents tell me they are putting into practice the things
they learned from you, and it is working! I’ve run community education
programs for over eight years and I must say this is the first one that
actually gives people the skills and techniques to make changes. Your
straightforward and common-sense approach is enlightening in dealing with
children of all ages and family relationships.”
—Karen Pierce,HCA Portsmouth Pavilion
“I just wanted to let you know that I continue to hear nothing but
positive feedback about the seminar you presented before our 450 workshop
participants. Your content, style, and sense of humor made the
presentation a memorable and inspiring one for everyone involved—parents,
teachers, and counseling professionals Thanks for bringing your important
message to our community. I know you’ve made a lasting impact on the way I
interact with my own family, and I’m sure that other parents who attended
would say the same.”
—Cindi Anthony, St. Alcuin Montessori School, Dallas, TX
Dear Jane,
The Sierra College Foster and Kinship Care Education staff, the conference
committee and all who attended our Foster and Kinship Success Day event
wish to express our sincere appreciation for your keynote presentation and
your workshops on "Positive Discipline for Developing Capable People."
The evaluations of your presentations were overwhelmingly positive and
according to many, were the highlights of the day for them. They expressed
an interest in having you return for future trainings, as well. Several
felt they would like to have had more time to ask questions and benefit
from your extensive knowledge and experience in parenting. We do hope you
will consider being involved in our training sessions in the future so
that you can continue to reach a broad audience of our foster parents.
Thank you for spending the day with us at Sierra College. We appreciate
the role you played in honoring and showing support for our foster and
kinship care providers and the valuable work all of you are doing.
It was my pleasure to meet you and to affirm the positive reactions
expressed by those who have been involved in your presentations before.
Please accept my apology for not thanking you in person at the end of the
session.
Sincerely,
Roselene Kelley
Sierra College
Director Foster and Kinship Care Education Program
