Feelings about presentations
really thought provoking. Session was very organized, empowering, friendly, and informative. Helped me grow and develop into a better parent. Encouraging. Supportive. Motivational. Empathetic. Helped me feel more confident. Put everything into perspective.
Made me realize that it is important for me to actually take care of myself. reminder to take another look at myself for who I am and what I have ever wanted to do for myself as an individual. I started to realize that sometimes we tend to forget about who we are because we put ourselves on the “back burner’ to be the parents of a child with autism. emphasized a positive message of focusing on our self & healthy ways to address anxiety. dig deeper within myself. Focus on myself on my own personal needs. I realized that I should start thinking more about myself and my health should be a priority. She wanted us to see that once we become better individuals for ourselves then we would ultimately become even better parents for our children.
I really liked being able to focus on narrowing down my own goals. I learned about how to set goals for myself and to make a plan to accomplish them.
I liked the advice and tips that I was given to be able to accomplish my goals.
I walked away from the workshop with a road map to a better self.
Comments about structure of workshops
Interactive
Frances has a wonderful way of bringing all the material together and presenting it in a concise and positive way. She opened everyone up without any judgement. We all felt like we could ask ANY question we wanted.
Frances was amazing and she connected with the audience so well that everyone would be interested in coming to more workshops with her as the speaker! She was so easy to work with and her communication with me far exceeded anyone I’ve ever worked with before.
She related to us very well. She also asked such great questions
because I felt we were participating in the presentation in a much more interactive way.
She was personable, friendly and sensitive.
The information was well-organized and helpful. Frances provided a positive approach to empowering parents.
This training simplifies many issues
The workshop was a wonderful experience. I am looking forward to more workshops from Frances Victory.
When she initially got to our meeting she was very friendly and she started having a few conversations with the parents to help everyone feel comfortable before she started her presentation.
OWN WORDS - I have used my fundamental knowledge of development and life coaching plus my years of teaching experience as a college professor, to create workshops for professionals & families of children with special needs. During our group sessions, I use a fun and interactive approach so that participants can walk away feeling stronger and more empowered. I will make sure that everyone feels respected, challenged, accepted, and understood. I aim to shine a light on their inner potential and help them recognize what they can accomplish.
