Adult Learning: Client Comments

“What Adult Learners Want —
Planning Educational Programs that Produce Results”

“Adding ‘High Touch’ to your ‘High Tech’ Training”

I'm sure you get several letters like this one, and if you don't, you certainly should. On Monday, January 25, I had the disctinct pleasure of sitting in on a session you gave at MPI's Professional Education Conference in Vancouver, BC, entitled, "What Adult Learners Want: Planning Educational Programs that Produce Results." I wanted to pass along my thanks, not only for introducing me to the four concepts of learning, but for sharing your personal story of triumph. I believe it's often difficult for people to recognize events that could, or will, have a mojor affect on their lives when those events are taking place. I was fortunate enough to realize that your session would help change my life ‹ in a very positive way. For that, I thank you.

Your speech was a masterful example of adult education, and you showed us exactly how we could do it, too. Your self-disclosure and the stand up exercise connected us and created an open, warm environment. Then you brought me through a powerful personal experience. I was spell-bound during the dog bite story and tears filled my eyes. I experienced the power and touching beauty of noticing love rather than fear, even under great physical challenge. And you showed me how to take love into action with the letter-to-his-teacher story.

Really colorful memorable and useful.

Barbara was fantastic. Inspirational, funny, an excellent presenter.
It was an honor to have spent time with her.

Thank you for sharing your story and life work. Today is my birthday,
and you gave me a gift that I think will change my life. Thank you.

Fantastic! My only regret is I couldn1t write faster to capture all the wisdom.
Thanks for the gift!

Excellent presentation: very useful and touching.

Fantastic! Will make my sales presentations more
colorful and will bring more "treats" to them.

Much better and touching than I ever expected. She is great!

Among the most moving, inspiring speakers I have encountered. Had room in tears!
