“My goal in taking Leading to Make a Difference was to reinforce my belief in the importance of creating positive relationships between students and staff. After listening to Saterdalen, Parker, Brown and many talented others, I have relearned ways to combine my love of counseling with my passion for teaching our youth.” Penny Patrick, South Sioux City, NE
“What a great course! Even after teaching and coaching for 15 years, I found many refreshers and really enjoyed the information included in the videos. Being a full time teacher, coach and mother of two children, the flexibility allowed me to work at my own pace, when it worked in my schedule at home and work. There are so many applicable strategies to use for any leadership role. The course was also a great reminder of the importance of a leadership role, the impact we have on young people, and the difference we can make in their lives!” Carolyn Pederson, Oskaloosa, IA
“Leading to Make a Difference is the seventh distance learning course I have taken. Without question it’s the best one. I have recommended this course to colleagues that were looking for courses to take. Each lesson was interesting, but most important it gave me useful information that I can apply in both my professional and personal life.” Todd Massack, Oakmont, PA
“When I started this course, I knew I was in for a treat because of the topics and the authors and presenters that are involved. I am familiar with a few of them, and I knew it would be a treat. Each lesson is packed full of valuable information that I will be able to use as a parent, teacher and coach. I am so glad I took this course and received the strategies, tools, techniques and methods to become a better leader. Thank you so much for making it such a positive and beneficial class to make myself better!” Cherie Sowle, Wallace, NE
“I found the course, Leading to Make a Difference a very positive experience. As a high school principal, former teacher and coach, I have earned two college degrees plus another 20 hours of coursework in order to become certified. At this point in my life and career, I simply do not have the time or motivation to attend traditional continuing education classes, write lengthy research papers, etc. Therefore, I very much appreciated both the format, content and practicality of this course. This was my first experience with a video course and I will definitely use your company again for this purpose.” Roger Howard, Independence, OH
“Leading to Make a Difference is a course that I absolutely recommend to anyone who loves and cares about kids. The content of the course is relevant and leads to thoughtful reflection of teaching methods and relationships with others. I would definitely take another course like this. The material was interesting, an eye-opener, something I could use, strategic, and most of all enjoyable. Thank you!” Jody Hempeck, Comfrey, MN
“Taking Leading to Make a Difference was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I only wish that I would have taken it sooner. It should definitely be mandatory for all people in the coaching/teaching profession and those inquiring to be in the profession. While I can honestly say that over the course of the next several years, I WILL incorporate nearly all the new ideas I came across. I appreciate your efforts in constructing a magnificent course, allowing me the chance to take the course, and offering me an opportunity to grow and mature as a leader. I would surely like the opportunity to take another course like this in the future.” Kurry Commins, Cincinnati, OH
“Forget the idea of doing the course at your convenience or other privileges a video course provides. The benefit of the video course for me was the fact that I kept rewinding for enjoyment and inspiration rather than assignment completion. Each video impacts you in the classroom, on the field, and life in general. When was the last time you asked your graduate instructor to repeat the last 45 minutes? This was the first graduate course I have ever taken that disappointment set in upon its completion.” John Gunderson, Center City, MN
“I learned a lot of strategies from this course. I thought the course content was excellent. This course is one of the best courses I have ever taken that can be applied to both my classroom and my coaching experiences. The topics that were the most value to me were: stress management, achieving excellence, developing a positive self-image, and motivating your players. This course will definitely benefit me in the leadership position that I am in. I learned a lot of things that I can implement. I would definitely suggest this course to any teacher or coach and I will definitely be taking video courses from you in the future.” Josie Wells, Norfolk, NE
“I really enjoyed this course. It is the second one I have taken. I was able to apply some of the things I learned to my own children. The course work was applicable to my job and I enjoyed being able to complete it in the comfort of my home rather than sitting in a classroom. I plan on taking the remaining classes as soon as I can! I also appreciated the timely manner in which the materials were sent out. I love this program!” Ranee Beach, Sioux City, IA
