Wow, She is amazing teacher, I love they way she teaches, her style, stories, I feel bad to finish this one, I want more !!
Just amazing, a journey into myself guiding me into the journey of life!
Taking this course was a gift to myself. The information I learned has already had an impact on the way I am thinking about resilience, the best use of my character strengths, and my being aware and sensitive to practicing Active Constructive Responses.
Resilience is my biggest challenge, and learning the specific ways of counteracting the effects of negative thinking, will benefit me, my family, and my coaching clients.
Karen Reivich, Ph.D., is a fantastic speaker and she presented the material professionally and with energy and down-to-earth enthusiasm. Her use of examples made the course that much more enjoyable.
If the transcripts from the course were contained in a book, I would run out and buy it!!
Thank you, Karen.
