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
