"We really enjoyed having you present tonight. Steve and I were busily thinking through our next staff meeting agenda as you spoke. We decided that this topic was more timely than where we were planning to head. Thanks so much for inspiring our parents and helping us to also think through what we can do to support our kids too. It's a team effort that we all need to help support." - Assistant Principal, Central Middle School

I enjoyed and learnt a lot from her talk this morning and my 9th Grader, was very impressed by what she said and feels she was very helpful. She made excellent comments and exposed the truth about their work habits and tendencies. She is convinced now that some changes are needed and is eager to apply them." - Parent, American School of Dubai
