"I have never gotten such an overwhelmingly positive response to any presenter I have hired, and I have been doing this for thirty years! I just don't know where to begin to thank you! So many participants have remarked that it was our best conference ever... and we've had some highly successful conferences over our seven year history!"
--Mary Budrawich, Early Childhood Specialist, Norwalk Public Schools
"I still hear the child care directors refer back to the points you made that day and the effectiveness of your message. You certainly left them with a plan of action to motivate, manage, and retain great staff. You delivered a very important message to our directors in such an entertaining & professional manner. I am convinced you made a lasting impression on many of us."
--Carolyn Stephenson,
Director of School Readiness

"Your presentation was so engaging people were literally glowing at the morning break. Even better than the great time we had at the conference were the comments I got as I visited programs the week after. In program after program, staff approached me (unsolicited) to make comments about how much they learned and enjoyed the session. One teacher said your presentation had truly 'changed her life'!"
--Mary Budrawich,
EarlyChildhood Specialist

"Energy and excitement was the tone of the day as Julie Bartkus facilitated the Director's Retreat in Indianapolis, IN!

"Your program, Break The Gossip Chain, treated a difficult and sensitive subject in an honest and upbeat manner. My staff was challenged to think about their individual role in perpetuating the gossip chain. They came away from the workshop with a renewed awareness and desire to become part of the solution rather than part of the problem. Your treatment of the subject allowed us to appreciate the overall impact of gossip without making us feel chastised or uncomfortable. Who would of thought a workshop on gossip and it's negative effects could be so enjoyable!"
Susan Mello, Program Director, Noah's Ark Child Care Center
