Read what Rosalind's audiences have written about her presentations and training sessions:
"I think it is fantastic that you have devoted your life to helping teens because they need so much help, whether they want to admit it or not. Generally they don't tell their parents much and their friends only help so much, so adults that are approachable are very valuable. Hopefully the teens you work with will realize how lucky they are."
CATHERINE
High School Senior in Fairchild, WA
"I wanted to thank you for your wonderful presentation last week. We're still receiving rave reviews on it! You provided our audience with a lot of information that we can apply to our everyday parenting. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you again!"
KIM CALLARI
McDonogh School in Owings Mills, MD
"Thank you so much for making the trek to Utah. Your presentation was great and gave us hope. You are doing such a service for so many. You have given a voice to my daughter. I wish your book was required reading for every school administrator, teacher, and parent."

"What substance! You received rave reviews and clearly our audience was hungry for your sound guidance. It was a privilege to meet you. Will look forward to our paths crossing again soon!"

"Thank you so much for coming to our school and speaking with us. Your talk was just what the school needed and I have to say that after my parents saw you, they seem to have a better understanding on how my life is right now. I wish you could have had more time to talk because I found all that you said to be very interesting and I wanted to hear more. Thanks again for really helping me out."

High School Junior in Windsor, CT
"It seems like only yesterday that you were giving the girls of Fargo-Moorhead courage to take a stand as individuals. My daughter, along with 5 of her friends, came away energized, committed to allowing themselves to live as their true selves and with the knowledge that a few true friends mean far more than attempting to fit into the popular circle. Your words of wisdom have created a quiet culture shift at her school and I can see deepened friendships resulting from it. As I look back over the past year, I marvel at the strides that my daughter has taken to get control of her life. She understands that a few deep friendships are worth more than popularity and has found a way to smile again. The lessons learned were hard, but our mother/daughter relationship is one that will be forever stronger. You words gave her strength, wisdom, and confirmation that she was on the right path. Add one more life changed forever to your list that September Saturday in Fargo!"
KARLA AALAND
Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation in Fargo, ND
"I just loved the realistic approach to all the problems that were discussed! Parents are not entitled to call other adults names or treat them disrespectfully yet our schools have lost their backbone because of litigation. Can't wait to get my hands on your book!"

"Balancing academics, sports and other extra-curriculars is a priority for a majority of adolescents. Learning to navigate the intricate web of social interaction is also one of the challenges they face and often occupies as much space in a teenager's day as all the other issues combined. Rosalind Wiseman's ability to observe, codify, and understand the importance of the teenager's social interactions is a gift to all people… parents, teachers, and, above all, students themselves. Helping teens comprehend and unravel the benefits and challenges inherent in their day to day interactions has been a huge plus. She does it in a voice that they understand. The issues she presented in her talk at Deerfield have been fodder for discussion in myriad venues ever since. It was one of the highlights of the school year."

"Thank you so much for coming to Aspen and opening the minds of our students, teachers, and parents. We felt really lucky to have you in our community. I continue to hear positive comments such as, 'My daughter and I had the best conversation after I went to Rosalind's keynote.' The Aspen Middle School counselor stated, 'The kids really LISTENED!' Not only do you have a genuine ability to connect with the girls, but the boys as well. I was surprised how much the boys listened and really enjoyed the presentation. I am looking forward to your next book!"

"Thank you so much for coming to Ethel Walker and working with the faculty as well as speaking for the larger community. You did an outstanding job with the faculty and your evening presentation for parents was absolutely fabulous. Certainly, you've made me think more pointedly about girls' mean behavior."
