"Christine presents very practical strategies and tools that can be easily
implemented with children and their families. Her warm, friendly and natural
approach to such sensitive issues make her an easy presenter to listen to."
"I have had an opportunity to see Christine speak on two separate occasions
regarding issues pertaining to grief, bereavement and trauma and have found
her presentation formats to be organized, engaging and practical. Christine
exudes a confidence in her speaking, demonstrating a vast amount of energy,
enthusiasm and eagerness in helping others recognize their potential within
this area."
" I thought I could never get past my divorce, but Christine showed me I am
a stronger person now."
"Christine is a knowledgeable speaker who captivates her audience. Her humour and enthusiasm gets everyone excited. Through art, music and play therapy, Mrs. Dernederlanden points out the positive side of life's situations. She has an unique ability to draw attention to the present and future."
"Christine Dernederlanden conducted an 'Empower' workshop for The Powerhouse
Project, Young Carer's Initiative. This was a workshop geared towards
increasing self esteem and 'how to walk, talk and act like a model.' Our
clients were all female and ranged in age from 8 to 13. The girls told us
that they had a fabulous time and have raved about how much they enjoyed it!
Christine was encouraging, complimentary and praising throughout the
workshop and towards our clients. The Powerhouse staff feel that Christine
was easy to work with, down to earth, and very accommodating to our needs.
Mrs. Dernederlanden was flexible and approachable, customizing the 'Empower'
workshop to specifically fit our clients' interests." |
