I have mixed emotions about testimonials. If they don’t do anything for you, stop reading and just move on. If you are affected (positively, of course) by them, read on!
Testimonials from Denver “The Power of Writing” Conference, June, 2008
Overheard in elevator by a colleague, “I’ve just been to ‘Find Your Way Home’ and that was one gifted facilitator!”
“You’ll never know how much your workshop (Find Your Way Home) meant to me. You’re a star.”
“Yours was the best. You are amazing.”
Other Testimonials…
“You ARE one gifted, beautiful, inspiring and funny woman, and you quite simply are a gift for anyone who is blessed enough to have you in their life. I thank my lucky stars I am one of them.” Jen Slaski
“I wanted to tell you how special the last 14 weeks have been for me. You and this class got me thinking and writing again. You woke me up and have challenged me to pursue the life I can see for myself.” Taline Manassian
“Jeanne Guy is insightful, empathic, and self-aware. She has a knowing about facilitating her groups to plumb the depths, yet continuously celebrate the sheer beauty, joy, and extraordinariness of being alive. Jeanne’s courageous, take-no-prisoners determination to ever expand and fully experience her own life purposes, inspires others to dream and stretch!” (S.R.)
“You know, in teaching we talk about creating a “risk-free environment”, which is impossible (and maybe not even desirable) though we know that learners have to feel safe in order to stretch and grow. Safety is just the starting place for you, Jeanne. Safe is about the 1st thirty-seconds of getting to know you, then you immediately take your groups to another level altogether – really, by a whole order of magnitude: sacred space. It takes a special leader who can do that – take a diverse group of women (in this case) who don’t even know each other and immediately hold them in this golden bowl of love and peace until they know on a cellular/soul-ular level that they are divinely nourished and protected.” (J.S.)
“Your classes provided me a safe place to open. It was an opportunity to experience the drivers of my life, to acknowledge them, change them, or in some cases, simply understand and appreciate how they have shaped my past and present and decide if they are leading me toward the future I truly want. I am filled with deep gratitude for your guidance.” (L.S.)
“You are a gifted teacher with the wisdom to instruct each person at the level necessary for her/his independent growth. I love how you can take a diverse group of participants and make them feel so comfortable and safe that they feel they can share anything relevant to the course and more. Best of all, you use your wit to make the group comfortable and ready to take risks and learn.” (R.M.)
“You have been a life line, a catalyst for me, what I needed to begin creating my own story. You are the most caring and gentle inspiration I’ve ever known and my guide to self-guided clarity.” (J.S.)
“So HAPPY and IMPRESSED (though not a bit surprised) by the affirming experience you had in Colorado. I know what it’s like to be one of your very fortunate students! KUDOS!!!” (M.C.)
“At a time when I needed saving, you were one of the most dedicated ’shes’ who were there to walk by my side. I cherish those times of sharing and caring. May you be blessed in the knowledge that you make a difference in many women’s lives.” (C.I.)
“I just want to thank you again for the incredible role you play in so many people’s lives. You are making a huge contribution to the universe. Something else that is also so remarkable – and refreshing – is how you seem to be growing and learning right along with your students. Not just teaching, but ever-blooming. It’s a beautiful thing to watch. ” (M.G.)
“Have a great class. It will be another Blessing to those who attend! You touched my life in such a perfect way!” (C.O.)
“Jeanne, I loved Artist’s Way with you more than just about anything I’ve ever done. I will send this to some people for sure. ” (B.T.)
“I am glad you are still leading people through the Artist’s Way – the workshops I took with you so many years ago really changed my life.” (B.V.)
“All sorts of changes happened in my life because of this workshop. What really works is the supportive format of this group. They don’t know you without possibilities so as they witness your dreams, they see no reason why you can’t manifest them. They don’t know and don’t buy into your baggage.” (K.O.)
