Testimonial: "The impact of Lory Misel's training on teachers, administrators and other school staff is phenomenal!  Four years ago, Lory was brought in for intensive inservice with our staff. Four years later, it is easy to spot the teachers and other stff who have gone through his training, for they tend to treat students and staff as people they want to care about and help.

Lory's training does have a profound and noticeable effect on the way staff members treat kids and each other. Of all the presenters we have had over the years (and I have been a high school counselor for over 16 years), only Lory seems to be able to deliver effectively the message that by caring for each other, we will find our school environment a happy place to be. Students who are happy tend to learn more and be more successful in school."

Testimonial: "The Northwest District Principals Association sponsored Lory Misel's Preventing and Managing School Tragedies workshop...it was informative, well-organized, and thoroughly thought out and presented in a manner which encouraged maximal involvement and understanding by the participants.

Principals indicated that it was one of the most useful workshops they have experienced. I strongly recommend this workshop to other organizations."

Testimonial: "Lory's presentaion and the teacher's reception to it exceeded our expectations...not only were we extremely impressed with the quality and quantity of the pertinent information received, but our lives were touched by the demonstration of caring, concern and love that was expressed in Lory's presentation."
