What are people saying?

"The training that I did this past week with Kim was world/ life changing. I have always heard and even tried to use Choice Theory® in my classroom. However, it is hard to use it in your classroom when you really should just use it for yourself and every aspect of your life. I will not only take this with me to my school but will use it with every person I interact with to make me a better person and the person I want to be. I am the only person I can change so that is where I am starting, with myself" — Diane G.

"What Kim showed us in such a beautiful way is that experiencing Choice Theory® in real life is not a “Theory,” it’s a “Reality.” That no matter who you are, no matter what your background is, and no matter what religion or status you have, as long as you don’t try to use your power to control others or try to change others, and instead you focus on yourself and what you can do differently or better to improve your relationship with others, you will be successful in improving your relationship with whomever you want to, no matter who that other person is."
— Shlomo Tauber
