Hi Jenifer,
I really enjoyed your presentation, as did every single person I have talked to so far. Not only was your talk valuable, but your sense of humor was an added bonus! Thank you again for coming to GA! It was a pleasure to get to know you and I appreciate so much your wisdom and insights.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Hi Jenifer,

The feedback from your talk has been very positive. A few people have mentioned that they wished there was more time for questions...probably a frequent request. Thanks so much for coming to Park. Laura

Dear Jenifer,
Thank you for being a part of the 85th Annual Colorado PTA Convention. You were a significant part of the team that made the convention a success. It was truly my pleasure to work with you. Hope you are safely back home and that you enjoyed your brief visit to Colorado.

Thank you again. Marta

Jenifer,
It was terrific to have the opportunity to bring you out to
Concord-Carlisle High School. People loved hearing your practical "words of wisdom". One parent mentioned she was very appreciative that you told stories of your own children -- she felt (and I agree) it allowed people to feel at ease and open up more.
Again, thank you so much for your great contribution to our
community. The turn out was terrific! And people were excited with all you had to share with them.

Director
Center for Parents and Teachers

Good morning Jenifer,
Thank YOU for a wonderful presentation. It was informative, entertaining and extremely practical information that was appropriate for all of our parents. I've received many positive comments and I noticed that many of our parents purchased books also.
I thought it was an excellent presentation… Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, experience and time with the Thayer community.

Best Regards,

Libby K.
Director of Alumni and Parent Programs

The response to your presentation this morning at Bedford has been really outstanding. My sense is that parents really came away with good strategies and language to use with their children. Very helpful. I couldn't believe the turnout. I think when people are still grabbing your sleeve to ask another question 1/2 hour after the presentation is over, that means you got them thinking.

Thank you!

Hi Jenifer-
How are you?
Your name came up in conversation this morning. People are still talking about what a terrific speaker you were at Bedford last year, and they still remember the 3 rules of play! If you're still interested I think we'd like to bring you back on a rotating basis
next year, so the new 6th and 7th grade parents get a chance to hear you.

Thank you,
Best,
Diana Weller

Thank you so much for passing along Jenifer's information to all of us last fall. She spoke to a packed audience at BMS (the largest turnout we've seen in a LONG time) and parents truly seemed to enjoy her talk. To get women (and many men) to sit through a 1 1/2 hour presentation and still cry for more is a major accomplishment in this town. Our very own BOE member, Jim Marpe, also showed up for her talk.

Thanks again!

I had the pleasure of listening to your book talk during the MA State PTA luncheon on Friday, November 18, 2005, at the Sturbridge Host Hotel. Loved the stories you told. I am still smiling, relating, hopeful…

I just cannot let the morning go by without sending a quick thank you note.....your part of this morning's presentation was terrific. I so appreciate your participation. I just love hearing you talk about how to handle "things". In fact, I take notes. So articulate, confident, poised and substantive. I wish I could take all your words and phrases and remember them at the "heat of the moment". You have a great message, backed up by good data and you deliver it in a very credible, succinct and warm way.

I received a positive email after your talk at our middle school this week. Just thought you would like to see it. Thank you so much for coming in, I really enjoyed your healthy point of view. Perhaps after your book tour, we could have you back in for a parent presentation in the evening. Good Luck with your book!!

Ellen C.

Dear Ellen,
Just want you to know that the talk I attended was one of the best I've
ever been to. I found the woman to be very in tune with teenage behavior.

But more importantly, she had some real solid ideas and strategies for
keeping these upcoming years as trouble-free as possible.
I could have listened to her for another couple of hours!

Hi Jenifer,
Thank you again for a great presentation. I have had so many people go out of their way to tell me how much they enjoyed hearing you speak. Wow, what a hot topic! The head of Middle School Guidance was also present, and she called me to tell me the same. It was a pleasure coordinating with you. You are a natural!

Dear Jenifer:
I just wanted to thank you again for taking the time to talk to the Wellesley Service League group. I hear it was a great time, very informative, there were a lot of questions, and that you could have gone on for hours.
Then I came home to see your picture in the Townsman and read your daughter quoted in the Nobleman!
I think your book will be a success.

Thanks again.

Dear Jenifer,
Thank you so much for speaking to the Weston Middle School parents. I received a tremendous number of very positive comments from people who attended. I purchased the book and am finding it very helpful with my own challenging teenagers! I wish you great success with it and my very best wishes.

Dear Jenifer,
Wow! I am so sorry that I messed your presentation on Saturday. The comments are glowing: “great information” “one of the best meetings the MPA (Middlesex Parent’s Association) has had” “Engaging delivery of very helpful and useful information.”
I can’t thank you enough for saying “yes” when I called!

A note of thanks to you and Robin for this morning’s session. Very informative, enlightening and entertaining – a grand slam! If the carline chatter is any indication, we could have gone on for hours! I have some reading to do.
