Lovely words from readers and workshop attendees...

Claire, you have this natural gift to make people feel welcome and open up. You are always reassuring people for what they think or feel. It's really amazing! I remember the first workshop I participated in - I felt immediately comfortable and welcome with you. I really enjoyed the different themes we discussed... I really believe in what you are doing and I am convinced you will transform the lives of many! I am so glad I got to know you through these wonderful workshops!"

I am subscribed to your blog and have been since early this year. Today I decided to clean up my inbox - I went through almost all of the blogs I am subscribed to (an embarrassing amount) and I UNsubscribed from the majority of them but not from yours and this is why – I’ve just turned 35, I left education at 17 when I became pregnant with my first child, and for almost 20 years I’ve fantasised about going to college, getting some nice shiny qualifications and improving my family's circumstances.

​I’ve always had an excuse not to but after reading one of your posts, I had an epiphany, got off my butt and on Monday I have an interview for a foundation degree in visual arts at a not-so-far away college. I’m so excited and scared shitless at the same time. Thank you for helping me on my journey to becoming a real person with real qualifications and not the powerless, uneducated little child that I have felt like so often over the past 18 years."

The only reason I felt comfortable enough to be honest [in your workshop] is because of the way you hosted it. That's something that made your workshop different from other ones I have attended... I've never been to a workshop and felt that comfortable - usually the host has an attitude of superiority. But the environment that you created welcomed our vulnerabilities. This is very special! I really enjoyed it and found it very useful! I've already applied two of your tools daily while getting ready for school."

Claire's workshop was great. Her strategies made me so positive at the end of the day. I loved her workshop. Hope she continues to encourage us to think positive in our lives. I really liked the way she had organized everything."

​I attended Claire's workshop because I've recently decided to start my own business and I needed more positive thoughts on doing something scary and out of my comfort zone. The exercises made me realize that a lot of my negative thoughts were fears of the unknown and fears of failure. Knowing this has helped me acknowledge the thoughts and move past them anyways. I finally took action in my business and started doing market research more aggressively - which ended up changing my business altogether as I've now selected a new niche.

​I really liked seeing how the other participants in the workshop were also struggling with similar issues - I'm not alone! I definitely felt more positive about everything after I left. I would highly recommend Claire's work to anyone who feels unable to take action in their business because of irrational fears.

​Inspiring, supportive, and awesome! Claire's workshops are all about exposing yourself to the tools and conversations that will help you live a life that is true to yourself... a life filled with positivity and possibility. Claire is a skilled facilitator who is able to foster a creative, comfortable and fun learning space, where you can go through this journey with other like-minded people. I've walked away from the workshop feeling excited about making positive changes in my life, and so very grateful for the opportunity!
