Thank you, Julia, for coming to our district to speak concerning some of the issues girls face in an academic setting. Many times parents and educators view bullying as a male issue, but again and again we hear about how cruel girls can be to each other. Your session provided insight on recognizing the problems that our girls face in a scholastic environment and strategies for educators and counselors on how to help girls work through these problems.Our teachers, administrators and counselors found your session to be informative and interesting; thank you for coming here to present!

I attended your Growing Up Girl presentation in Greenville and loved it. I was very interested in starting up some girls groups here at camp. After your presentation I was completely pumped and excited and now that the New Year is here I am ready to go. I am also interested in taking on your line of study and getting out in the community assisting schools and such. Thank you for your time.

I attended your workshop “Growing Up Girl in Today’s Crazy World” at Eastern AHEC in Greenville, back in November. I absolutely loved your seminar and walked away with a wealth of knowledge. It was by far the most enjoyable seminar I attended in 2007. I work for Eastern Carolina Case Management in Greenville. We are going to use your curriculum G.I.R.L.S. grades 6-12, to jump start our program. I hope you visit this area again, as I will certainly bring along more colleagues this time to hear you speak. I admire all of your hard work and from one human services provider to another, I greatly appreciate what you are doing for young girls.

Sincerely,
Cathy Respess

I have a friend who lives in Florida.We went to high school together about 10 years ago. She emailed me today telling me about an amazing “workshop” you gave down that way. She was absolutely raving about it. They have two little girls (4 and 2) and she was talking about how helpful your workshop was to them. Just thought I’d pass that along.It’s always nice to know when you are touching other people’s lives even all the way down in Florida.

Julia is one of the few presenters that I have seen in the last three years that has held my attention and delivered relevant information that I can use. It is rare that I do not slip out of a workshop because I am bored to tears or embarrassed for the presenter. Julia’s presentation offers useful information and strategies that I can actually use on the job. Also, she has actually used the techniques herself, and discusses what worked and didn’t work, which makes it real. Julia is entertaining, witty, and sharp; she holds people’s attention with seemingly little effort. I am also impressed that she is willing to share her curriculum with others. I find that remarkable. I also appreciated that she made her handouts available on the web if we wanted them, instead of printing out things we may not need. That is a great technique.
