Testimonials:

“I found this training to be incredibly informative and inspiring.  Staff who attended have not stopped talking about how helpful they found it for themselves and potentially for their clients.  Now, several of us want to be trained in Brainspotting!  Jeffry is clearly passionate, knowledgeable and skilled, I so grateful she had the chance to learn from him!”

“Jeffry exuded calm, flexibility, and humor while staying on task and apparently effortlessly conveying extensive and complex material.  He has clearly done his personal work to be a relaxed, accessible, and competent presenter. This workshop was very well attended and quite interactive.  It had a good balance of lecture, and case examples, there were experiential exercises for all attendees. I personally encountered feelings of comfort, relief, and relaxation.  I could sense Jeffry’s openness and heart connection with the volunteer with whom he did a demonstration.  I felt extraordinarily relaxed and peaceful after the workshop. Jeffry’s talk left me full of new information and possibilities, intrigued and wanting to learn more about it—just how I want to feel after a good workshop.”

“I appreciated Jeffry’s extensive knowledge on the subject, as well as his passion in talking about best practices when working with men. I feel I learned some valuable concepts and have a better understanding as a woman working predominantly with men in my line of work.”

“I found the workshop very beneficial for considering the specifics of working with male clients from neuroscience to moving beyond two emotions to a symphony of emotions. I especially found the neuroscience of men extremely illuminating in understanding male clients better. There was so much richness and depth in the content that I’m grateful for the handouts to refer to as needed.”

“There is no way to describe how important the work is that Jeffry is doing around working with men. We need to have a national conversation about the lost-ness of our male people in this current socio-political context.  This presentation was excellent, and I leave it feeling hopeful and engaged!”

“With such potency and ease, Jeffry connects, and engages with his audience.  He draws participants in with metaphors, stories, humor, and great case examples.  Jeffry’s enthusiasm for working with men is contagious!  As a women psychotherapist, I am glad to know that I can count on him as a resource regarding men with whom I work.  Jeffry’s presentations and content are organized, credible, and dynamic, I look forward to the next one.”

“Jeffry is a very effective communicator, and engages well with his audience.  His years of experience provide him with a depth of understanding and real compassion for those he is talking about.  Jeffry not only knows the topics he addresses regarding men, but also cares about the topics – a wonderful fusion of understanding and engagement.”

“We recently had Jeffry do a presentation at our hospital on cutting edge stress management.  His PowerPoint presentation was very dynamic and thought-provoking. He taught us new techniques that have proven to be very effective for many of the participants.  Jeffry’s new ideas and also his physiological explanation of stress were great because the topic of stress has been covered in many classes, but often it is the ‘same old stuff.’  His delivery is organized, quick, and filled with witty comments which had many of us walk away with a positive feeling and a ‘can do’ attitude.”

“Jeffry’s entertaining, insightful analysis of the issues young men face had a great impact on the men and women in my classes.  His presentations sparked much thoughtful discussion and a re-framing of the roles men play in today’s society.  His perspective gives a window into the many dilemmas of modern manhood with advice and effective coping strategies to deal with these problems.  I would enthusiastically recommend him as a speaker!”

“Jeffry made a three hour presentation to my Continuing Education graduate class at St. Thomas called ‘Gender Differences in Learning.’  The presentation (with questions and discussions) was about brain and hormonal differences between males and females, and possible effects on learning.  Jeffry did an excellent job of presenting material and encouraging student participation.  The thirteen students in the class (teachers and social workers) enjoyed the presentation and said they learned a great deal from it.”
