What Participants Have to Say

You Made a Personal Connection...

Summer Writers Workshop Parent

Thanks so much for your professionalism but also making a personal connection with the kids. The plentiful resources and instant feedback allowed my daughter to grow in such a short time. The book connection to the writing curriculum was spot on during this time in history.

My educators were weary and perhaps a bit disconnected but...

Igola Richardson, Director, SAFE Center

I invited Dr. Holliman to speak to my teachers at a high school that is considered the most challenging in the county. I needed a voice of hope, a voice of experience, a voice that precariously blended both challenge and empathy. Her presentation, and dare I say, very presence exceeded my expectations. Dr. Holliman is more than a speaker; she is a transformational strategy!

I'm Ready to Envision Me!

Workshop Participant

This workshop was an eye-opener for me! I joined the call with an open and positive mind and left with a focus and a way to move forward.

An Awesome Experience!

Summer Writers Workshop Student

An awesome experience! It gave me the simplest forms of the most complicated things. This allowed me to fully understand how I should approach any writing piece.

The decision to select her as the keynote speaker for Baccalaureate was indisputable.

Jenelle Wingfield IB Coordinator

Dr. Sims-Holliman was always known as a trailblazer with respect to education, but that night she solidified herself as an amazing inspirational speaker. Regardless of the topic, I believe that Dr. Sims-Holliman has the ability to touch the hearts of her audience. I would, without question, work with her again.

This Was Everything!

Workshop Participant

I've never been able to stick to my resolutions or my vision board. Having the seven principles to help me focus is already helping me to envision what I want for myself this year.

This Was A Worthwhile Experience

Summer Writers Workshop Student

This was an extremely worthwhile experience! Nothing can change the way I have grown during the week of reviewing and learning skills.

A Professional Development Powerhouse

Gramisha Hernandez, Educator

Having professional development with Dr. Holliman doesn't feel like a learning experience; it feels like a chat with a teacher friend--albeit a very wise teacher friend. Her real-life classroom experiences mirrored my reality and made me connect with her topics.

It's the Flexibility For Me

Workshop Participant

The Envisioning Me process isn't just for the beginning or end of a year. It's for any time I need a reset. If things don't go the way I intended, I can just start again!
