TESTIMONIALS
FOR

LAUREN N. NILE'S

SEXUAL HARASSMENT TRAINING

"As you well know, the subject area is complicated and sometimes controversial. Nevertheless, you did an excellent job in communicating fundamental issues in a non-threatening manner…. The briefing received praise from those who attended for its professional quality and practical usefulness."

Sharon L. Solomon, Equal Employment Opportunity Director, Executive Office of the President of the United States

"At WOW we continually attempt to ‘empower’ our students and your presentation strongly reinforced this message that they have the right to be protected legally. They also added that they felt safe to share their personal situations with you which is an extreme compliment from the students in our class. In at least four situations since your presentation, the women have brought issues that you raised with them and applied it to their lives. One woman has prepared her divorce papers, another has shared that she is starting to not feel guilty about experiencing sexual harassment from a previous job, and another student was exploring educational programs that area law schools offered. All this interest came from one presentation!"

Denny Pintello, Life Skills Unit Counselor, Wider Opportunities for Women

"Your experience with the issue of sexual harassment combined with your great speaking style and sense of humor to make the presentation both informative and fun. I waited to send this thank you until I had received the evaluations , which were uniformly glowing."

Gina Cattalini, Volunteer Coordinator, Washington D.C. Rape Crisis Center

"Your discussion of the spectrum of violence against women was not only complete and informative, but everyone attending the workshop was absolutely absorbed by everything you said. As a presenter, you were clear, concise and extremely knowledgeable. I have received numerous calls from attendees to tell me how impressed they were with you and your discussion."

Laurie Strongin, Planning Committee, Institute For Women’s Policy Research

"Our program committee has received rave reviews about your excellent presentation on sexual harassment. I personally appreciated the rapport you had with the audience and the way you handled difficult comments, particularly the ones presented by those few who doubted our purpose. Your direct manner and friendly approach were examples in themselves."

Rebecca Brillhart, Program Chair, Association of Adventist Women

"Thank you for presenting ‘Preventing Sexual Harassment’ at our CBODN Conference. We heard rave reviews about your session!."

Chris Cranston and Sandy Mobley, Chesapeake Bay Organization Development Network

An E-mail sent to the Personnel Director of The American Occupational Therapy Association, Inc.: "Just a note to let you know that I thought the sexual harassment seminar was most valuable. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical going into it, but I certainly learned a lot and think that everybody who participated in the seminar was enlightened. I thought Lauren was an excellent speaker and did a good job of presenting both the female and male perspective on this sensitive topic. Thanks."

Derik Rice, Employee, The American Occupational Therapy Association, Inc.
