"Thank you JoAnn, this has been very helpful insightful and well thought-through. I loved the daily reminders to check in on new materials and I feel that this has helped to build a habit of being aware about the way I minimize myself and instead - choose other words and behavior."
Dorina Timbur, Leeds, UK
“This concept is so important and the way the content was structured really brought it all to life for me."
Louise Duncan, Auckland, NZ
“This program was a far greater eye-opener than I expected! It was impactful in many positive ways. The online content, virtual meetings and workbooks were very helpful and brought more awareness to even those slight moments when I use diminishing language. I had many "oh! I say that too!' realizations which surprised me because it had always been ingrained in my communication"
Jeannine Rothblott, Toronto, Canada
"This has been such an influential experience for me; I have more awareness of the language I (and others) are using and I can feel myself shifting a little more every day to language that demonstrates my confidence and capability. I can't recommend it enough!"
SB Rawz, Southwest Virginia, USA
"I would describe this program as eye-opening, helpful, and overall a wonderful program for those looking to strengthen communication. A life saver to someone like myself!"
