Sample Feedback
“Jesse’s talk was both insightful and inspiring. He brought several attendees to tears. I was especially impressed that Jesse had given so much thought to our unique audience. He designed his talk specifically for us. (Some attendees knew a lot about Montessori, while others knew very little.) At dinner the night after his presentation, the first thing I said to him — and what I genuinely felt — was “Wow!””
“When I first sat down I was nearly asleep. Yet from the time you began speaking all the way until the end I was completely engaged. Thank you so very much, Jesse.”
“Jesse’s knowledge of Montessori philosophy and understanding of our school made the presentation very powerful and tangible to the parents. ... Montessori philosophy is the same world wide and when its authenticity is honored it is magical. Forever grateful.”
