Participant Comments

Powerful speaker, covered big territory in an hour, would love to do a whole-day seminar with her.

Fast-paced, well-planned, very concrete and practical.

Superb concepts, creatively packaged. This gave me the incentive to change my attitudes.

Her sense of humor opens your mind so that you can relate to what she teaches.

Absolutely fascinating! Outstanding! Sharon took us to a totally new level of effectiveness in how we deal with conflicts at work and at home.

I am staggered by the flood of responses I am having.

How do we do so many devastating things in our communications without realizing what we are saying? What an eye-opener.

Sharon presented options for how to communicate that have been completely invisible to us.

Gave so many great "real-life" examples. Then the role-playing demonstrated how to actually change a situation.

Her own material — original! Practical, insightful, funny, inspiring!

Some would consider this radical thinking. I think it makes a lot of sense.

Suggestions are behavior-based and can be followed. Not just "feel good" crap.

The concept of the material is astonishing to me. I have spent most of my life defending or attacking, and getting nowhere fast. I look forward to distilling this and putting it to work.

Dynamic speaker! I loved her physical examples and mental pictures.

So logical, so passionate, and so simple!

I can see how asking questions in this new way will be so disarming and open up real communication.

She opened our minds to the idea that we can change how we relate to others even if we just change our tone of voice. She has changed me.

I enjoyed her frankness and directness. Answered questions succinctly and concisely.

You GO girl! What a wonderful place the world would be if everyone followed Sharon's plan.

I wish her speech could have lasted all day — a natural speaker.

Fascinating theories. Sharon has style, confidence and humor.

Masterful and elegant.

Sharon did an amazing job of being 'hands on' and her interactions with the audience were terrific!

This message is needed in corporate America.

Incredible! Wish I could keep Sharon in my pocket to coach me.

Clear, visionary! Right on target for the complex lives we lead.

I am excited about its possibilities for me personally, and beyond me to our society and the world.

These skills and lessons should be taught to us starting from a young age.

Basic to management success and any kind of leadership skill.

I hope you have a chance to address the U.N.! Congress!

I wish everyone could hear this woman speak and learn what she teaches!

Ouch! Some of this was me! I wish this had lasted longer.

I feel like the boa constrictor that just ate an elephant. It will take me months to digest this.

Presenter spoke with such clarity and insight; it made me realize that we can have control over how we respond in any situation. My anger doesn't need to control me anymore.

I am amazed how the results are almost identical for men and women and for so many diverse personalities.

Amazing information! Very powerful. The best and most practical workshop of the conference.

Should be a stand-up comedienne!

I learned a great deal about how I communicate and about my own inner power struggles. The effect on me was transforming.

Models what she teaches, truly 'human' and easy to relate to — a really terrific lady!

A full-blown technique for highly leveraging our effectiveness in communicating, a capability you just don't want to be without.

I think this was the best talk I have been to in my entire medical career.

Great ideas. Can incorporate material into corporate life.

Empowers both typically ‘aggressive’ or ‘passive’ verbal types.

I learned how to relate with people in a way that I can find strength for myself.

I guess it's never too late to change.

I can not only improve my current relationship, but can see what I could have done differently in past ones.

The gift of hope.

Gave me a method to live what I believe is possible in relationships.

This work is not only extraordinarily significant; it's just plain extraordinary.

Truly revolutionary skills! A new way of looking at communication barriers and how to make core changes.

Amazing job of explaining human behavior and interactions in an hour! Use this speaker again!

Revolutionary! Exciting! Intellectually stimulating!

Superb! Lively, real, I can relate to this. It will enlighten my behavior for life.
