What people are saying about AJ's trainings and webinars
AJ is a passionate and authentic natural communicator. I attended one of her sessions on resilience and well-being. It was interactive, engaging, science-based, and had practical takeaways. She is clearly experienced in leading individuals through behavior change. Rather than focusing solely on the band-aids of workplace well-being, she got at the root of culture issues leading to burnout. It was enlightening and energizing and I left with much to consider and take action on.

During 2021, AJ delivered 4 webcasts to our employees, receiving high praise for how masterfully she interacted with the audience as well as for the practical, research-backed action steps she provided during each session. Not only is AJ able to captivate her audience’s attention, but she also provides impactful, real-time exercises to help attendees enrich their application of the material. AJ is an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend AJ as a speaker for organizations seeking to address the mental and emotional well-being of their employees.

It is rare to come across someone like AJ. I attended a resilience course, and AJ knocked it out of the park. She is the epitome of a professional in every aspect. Her wealth of knowledge brings with it the utmost creditably. Her instruction reached every person regardless of their background, position, or education level.

AJ is absolutely brilliant when it comes to teaching and facilitating resilience and well-being skills. Her passion is genuine as she guides teams through the process of learning resilience skills and relays the benefits of practicing the skills on a daily basis to improve one's health and well-being.
Vincent Eure

I gave AJ the task of learning our organization's culture, roadblocks and challenges in a short timeframe, and she turned around a customized training that resonated deeply with our people. AJ is a pleasure to work with and able to design a training that feels like the leaders of your organization created this from the inside.
