"Dan did a workshop in my classroom and it was so exciting to watch. Even the toughest and most timid students really took to his warm, charismatic style and opened up to him and to their classmates in a way I'€™d never imagined possible." 

-- Teacher, Rio Linda High School

"Several students in my class displayed behaviors that made teaching very difficult. [After conversations] with Dan, disruptive students came back to class calmed down and more able to focus on instruction. They felt supported, encouraged and understood by him.  At the end of the day, Dan came to discuss his insights and suggests ways I could better work with these students. I found his contribution invaluable."
