EVALUATIONS OF OUR PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

The speaker, Mr. Craig, was very effective. He conveyed the seriousness of the issues dealing with the topics covered regarding divorced families. In addition, his speaking style and tone of voice made us very aware and kept our interests. I am thankful that he spoke to us and as a future family law attorney, I hope to recall some of these do's and don'ts with my own clients. Thank you Mr. Craig.

Speaker was very enthusiastic about the subject matter. He is very approachable and open to questions.

Very entertaining, informed, and energetic speaker. I appreciate how he spoke quickly, yet informatively. Found the information very insightful.

Mr. Craig is funny and makes it easy to understand concepts. His examples were great. I will be able to take so much of what he taught in to my legal practice.

Very applicable and practical information without falling in to "touchy feely" language. Speaker was great at keeping class attention - dynamic and humorous.

I really enjoyed the training this evening. I have relatives and close friends who have been through divorce and custody battles. This classes has helped me better understand what the kids must be experiencing. I know this will also allow me to better communicate with my clients as an attorney and help prepare my clients to recognize some of these issues. These are topics not discussed in our law classes, but they should be brought to our attention and taught in some way if any student plans to practice family law.

Overall, the presentation was very informative. Every parent going through a divorce should attend Mr. Craig's classes. In the future I will be sending parents to see him.

I enjoyed this training- even though when I walked in I wasn't feeling so well. The issues in families that are splitting up really affects the kids in the future if they are not resolved quickly. The parenting plans seem realistic, not out in "la-la-land." The speaker today must be an excellent mediator. He seems energetic, knowledgeable, and respectful of people's emotions during this ugly time of divorce.

Thank you for sharing a variety of options for us to utilize. Your presentation opened a window a lot wider allowing us to see the true possibilities for empowering families.

Excellent, impressed with your outline, and your approach is a very good one in helping family problems.

Very informative and interesting. Dynamic presentation.

Excellent, fresh view point. Good practical advice.

This was excellent-Best program/training I have ever attended. I will definitely follow up and attend more of your training and classes.

Really enjoyed it!

Mr. Craig was excellent. His presentation, though rushed, was very passionate. It is obvious that he is very committed to the cause of helping adults be better parents and lessening the negative impact for children of divorce. I would love to take some of the classes. This was the most informative session dealing with issues of psychology of divorce, of this training. Thanks Brad.

Excellent - very informative- most helpful

Great Presentation - liked the pace, volume, and humor. Obviously just a brushing over the surface- could have spent whole day on this.

A++++++ Great, pulling together 72 hours+ in training. Excellent putting it on their level- visit vs. two homes.

Brad, great presentation. Keep up the good work.

Wow! What a great program. I never knew this existed. What a powerful compliment to the mediation process. I will certainly make this my first step for my current divorce.

I'm ready to take your coparenting class. I'll be in touch soon!

Good explanations/strategies re: coparenting benefits- Very animated speaker.

Good presentation- Very informative.

Enjoyable presentation- Excellent examples.

Brad is enthusiastic and draws the audience into the topic! Great job! I learned a substantial amount and would certainly recommend your services to anyone dealing with these issues!

Original, creative, helpful, forward-thinking, progressive. I was extremely impressed. Thank you!

Thanks for the information. I will use all this information in my mediation sessions in New Mexico. Very helpful!

I would love to come to your class some evening!

Rapid speech, but did not appear to hinder quality and content. Results were beneficial to training.

Loved it!

Very good, wish I could get a tape especially on the aspect of what the child needs. I would send the tape to people I know who need to understand how the child feels. Would like to hear speaker again.

I found that your information is very well prepared and your knowledge is outstanding.

You made good, clear points that need to be addressed to a group like us. I this it is good that you work with the parents communication skills and appreciate your suggestions to us.

I wish the speaker had more time. He had great information. He was great considering we had been here all day. He was very passionate and excited about the information he presented. It was easy for me to listen and get excited. I thought ALL the information was important and helpful. I learned a great deal. Thank you!

Excellent- I learned a lot!

Very entertaining and informative. I want to come see your classes in person.

Would like to have had more time for this segment.

I learned about how to start the mediation process.

Excellent presentation.

Brad has excellent oratory skills and should be making self-help tapes for parents-and maybe teenagers. I have been very impressed with all the creative programs you have established through Children in the Middle and sincerely hope you continue to expand and bring resources to more communities outside the two metro counties of Dallas and Fort Worth.

The most pragmatic and helpful thing yet!

Great info. Thanks!

Coparenting in 80 seconds - wow! Lots and lots info. in a short period of time. Excellent!!!

Good use of humor.

Did an excellent job. Very informative- a lot of information.

I had very high expectations for a complete explanation of the parenting coordination process, and I was not disappointed. Great job by both instructors and would recommend them to anyone.

I love the dialogue of spontaneous conversation. That "best interest" is complex and there are no "standard" solutions.

Great handouts that will provide good information for reading and reference. I like the change of pace that you used on Saturday.

Learned guidelines/ethics/role plays, specific examples of forms, and instructor's expertise (ability to explain through examples.)\Good overall presentation, great resources, learn what it means to be a PC.

Goal was to learn definitions, procedures, functions, cautions and practice of parenting coordination. The class met those. I enjoyed your interaction, your working off each other to amplify the information.

Valuable information= the commonalities among families and the uniqueness. The vulnerability of children-so the most important thing was how to protect children. This was one of the 2-3 best (training) I've had in 14 years of mediation.

Brad and Aaron were great! I felt this was excellent training- PC training.

Both trainers were able to give real life experiences.

Craig and Robb know their topics-covered questions-worked well together. Covered topic well-provided good forms and references.

Most valuable= discussions coupled with videos and role plays. Helpful= ability to answer questions with personal experiences. Both were highly skilled-knowledge, and practical implications.

Brad is impressive-his expertise on coaching. Good info, good presenters.

Brad and Aaron were great!

Brad and Aaron-Excellent. Thanks for providing quality training.

I am impressed with the highly professional presentation, handouts, appearance, humor, and language skills. The presenters interacted well with each other.
