Experiences & Feedback

The best measure of our work comes from the people we’ve worked alongside. Here’s what they had to say!

"Sheila Riffle is one of the most genuine and compassionate people I have ever met! She leads from the heart, and I have no doubt that she will continue to make a huge impact in many people’s lives through her facilitation of team-building programs (or just by being in the same room with her incredibly uplifting energy!). She brings much experience and many high-level gifts to the table, and I have been very fortunate to collaborate with her and see her talents in action both 1:1 and in groups. anyne who works with Sheila is in great hands!"

"These sessions made me more observant of my thoughts myself and others in general. Listening to other people share their experiences/opinions on certain things made me think into how I do things and how it’s okay if everyone doesn’t do things the same."

"The combination of personalities, expertise, and skills with these facilitators was incredibly effective - especially because, though they brought different elements, they all shared the same attitude, approach, care, and goals. It was very inclusive, very down-to-earth, and felt very, very safe. I loved the different approaches, different voices, and different activities, because each one touched on something new. Not to mention that the humor, kindness, openness, and generosity of the facilitators was the best I have ever, ever experienced in any kind of workshop. Absolutely wonderful people!!"

"I loved everything we did, and felt that it all had a place in our growth and success. I especially felt encouraged and energized by the conversations regarding how we can operate as a team, our goals, our norms, etc., as well as learning about each other individually. Having a forum for those of us who may not otherwise speak out normally was so encouraging and empowering. I think these are things that can be so hard to broach, and having the support and assistance to do that was really wonderful. I think the ideal would be perhaps half a day of the more traditional discussion/planning/team building, and then half a day of the activities such as meditation/breathwork/drumming, etc."

"I credit it for our ability to grow far sooner than we ever would have without it. It created the space for vulnerability and honesty, and I truly feel that the most important part of that was the openness of the facilitators in supporting and encouraging such important discussion."

"Sheila has a particular talent for recognizing potential. Or, more accurately, presuming potential. Many educations are very good at believing in students and identifying, celebrating, and nurturing their strengths. Sheila does something very different and much more powerful. She has an ability to make a person - a student, teacher, parent, colleague - find her own strengths, see his own potential, then supports that person in developing their own passions and pathways. She does not grow people in her vision. Sheila teaches people to grow into their own skin, their way, on their terms. In this way, Sheila's interpersonal talent redefines empowerment. "
