"As a career human service professional, I have attended more useless trainings than I can count. I have left feeling there was no application. This training makes you think not only professionally but also personally. It has tremendous application in both areas. Kim is a great trainer.

"After taking Reality Therapy with Kim, I came away wanting more information on the process. She was so stimulating and the classes went so quickly, I was stunned the end came so quickly. The learning experience was more gratifying than expected. Kim treats everyone as if they are an old friend making her way of teaching like putting on an old comfortable sweater. Thanks Kim for everything."

"Choice Theory has changed our culture. We were a therapeutic organization with an eclectic therapeutic approach; everyone did their own thing.
Therefore there was no consistent message or approach and if our clients changed behavior, it was because they liked us. Choice theory has given us one basic theoretical approach. The message we are giving to clients is consistent and powerful. Also the message we are giving to the community and contracting agencies is focused and consistent. The community has learned this is the approach we use. Sometimes we receive referrals because of our philosophical approach. Other times I am sure we lose referrals because of our philosophical approach, but that is an acceptable loss. We now have a brand identity and I believe that is good business. I also believe that the therapeutic skills of our staff have improved. Our most successful Counselors now use Choice theory. I have observed an increase in their performance level, confidence and professionalism as a result of their participation in Choice Theory. Our organization has changed dramatically for the positive in the past 5 years and I believe we have become leaders in our business. This is confirmed by individuals from other organizations, contracting agencies and the award we won last November as the Juvenile Court Judges Commission Community Based Program of the Year. The change in culture occurred because we became more focused and intentional about who we are and how we do it. Choice theory is the foundation of our therapeutic interventions and thus the driving force behind our cultural change. If you want to change an organization, you have to change the culture. We have done that."

---Dr. Robert Whitmore, D.Ed., Manito, Inc., Chambersburg, PA

“I have been taking transformational, spiritual and self-development classes for over 30 years. This includes one day trainings, along with on going Buddhist training, numerous retreats and conferences and extended programs on various topics and I will say to you that your class was one of the best I have ever taken. It was complete, enough time for feedback/evaluations and you taught in a way that no matter what learning strength someone had you made sure you played to that strength. You made it fun and interesting. I enjoyed getting to know all the class members.”

---Margaret Lutzke, Waynesboro, PA
