What People Are Saying
‘Fantastic,’ ‘wonderful,’ ‘hilarious,’ ‘just what the doctor ordered,’ ‘extremely insightful.’ These were some of the many, very positive comments I received after your seminar. Thank you so much for reminding us that we need to laugh and keep our sense of humor during these very difficult times of ‘transformation.’ Your message helped us to understand the many emotions people experience during change and transition and that it is OK to feel them.
Each session of your seminar, while different in tone, gave uptight, intense people a chance to let go and be real for a few minutes. You are willing to go to a space in front of the room that not everyone has the courage to do. Your ability to be there and to move your participants to a more open and truthful level is as effective as anyone I have seen.
I wanted to thank you for the tremendous workshop you brought to our staff members. It was an honor having you as our guest to kick-off Nurses Week. I feel that your ability to communicate in a relaxed and professional manner, together with the best therapy — laughter, have made this workshop one of the highest rated we have ever had for this System.
Thank you again for the presentation you gave to our Marketing and Communications group. [It] was a delightful, humorous and meaningful way to end our three day seminar. The feedback we received rated your portion of the program as excellent. You helped us all to remember the true priorities in life.
I would highly recommend team building activities with Donna and I believe you will not only see results but have fun doing it. It has been a true learning experience. Donna has given us many tools to help make our team healthy again.
