To begin your journey:

Dear Dana,
It was our pleasure to host you yesterday! The kids were still talking this morning about what a dynamic speaker you are. We sincerely appreciate the time you spent preparing the slides and for spending the entire day with us yesterday. It was great to chat with you at lunch and get to know you better. We look forward to seeing you again next year. Dana, your perspective was valued and appreciated. There were MANY parents and students from our Day 1 schedule who wished they had an opportunity to hear your presentation.

"Blue House Nursery & International Preschool recently welcomed Dana Grossman from MeD8 to conduct an exercise with it’s team of educators, responsible for children in it’s programmes from 6 months to 6 years old. Blue House’s educational team engage in on-going and lengthy dialogue with families, children and other educators, requiring a heightened sense of highly tuned interpersonal and communication skills. Dana delivered an incredibly articulate and enjoyable workshop. Her humor and candid nature really engaged our team from the onset, but what she delivers with a smile on her face is backed up by powerful research and insight. Dana shared a number of key points of wisdom that have since been regularly and actively shared amongst our team and we are all better for it. We cannot recommend Dana and MeD8 highly enough for their professionalism and depth of content partnered with a warm and friendly manner we can only looking forward to welcoming back to us again in future."
