"I cannot remember any experience in my educational or professional career that was more meaningful or relevant to the things I'm about than the course you and Helen presented. You realize that covers a lot of territory: BS in Nursing, and MSN at Duke; teaching in the Duke School of Nursing for ten years, Stephen Ministry and Stephen Leadership training, multitudes of conferences, workshops, and books for years, and 'living life along the way.’ Helen's material, your grasp of it, and your ability to share it with others is so sound. I wish that every nursing school, and especially my alma mater, could have you teaching their students about effective listening and other communication skills."
