“I want to thank you for being our keynote speaker yesterday. It seems everyone I talk to wanted me to express appreciation for your inspiring presentation. Your years of research, your depth of understanding of emotional intelligence, and your ability to present the subject in such a compelling way produced one of the most memorable presentations in NYC’s DOE’s history..”

Dolores Esposito,

Executive Superintendent of
Leadership, NYC Department of Education

Your talks both yesterday and today gave me someone to look up to, gave me a role model in which to aspire to be like, gave me permission to feel. Of course, part of it has to do with your past as I do feel more of a personal trust and connection to the things you say, but it also connects to how passionate you are about your work. You aspire to be so much more than your trauma and that itself is an inspiration. Thank you for all the work you do, and thank you for trying to improve the health for teenagers everywhere like me. Everything you are doing is what I aspire to do, and seeing it being done gives me hope for a better tomorrow.

“As someone who lives, works, and breathes the impact of emotions, I couldn’t conceive of how an entire curriculum could be developed to explore something I thought was so intuitive and basic. RULER has highlighted how presumptuous and naive I was.”
