"The workshop was a resounding success. Our staff not only found the content informative but were also excited about the practical skills they acquired, which they can implement in their roles starting today. Your ability to connect with the audience and deliver relevant, actionable insights did not go unnoticed, and we are genuinely grateful for the positive influence you've had on our team."

"This is a presentation that every school, every district, every, school board member should attend. It's insightful, compelling, and could change the dynamics of the school systems as we know it."

"I could have listened t him speak all day!"

"This has been a wonderful session. Thank you, Doug, for bringing us back to the importance of mental health impacts and how we need to rethink how we approach our students."

"Doug was amazing - such a powerful, meaningful, and timely message and a flawless execution."

"Great speaker! Please have him back for more!"

"Outstanding presentation and well worth a second look when time permits!"

"As a student working towards their MSW, this presentation really brought everything I have been learning full circle and applied it to the place I am currently interning at, to display what can be used for interventions, and the potential differences it can make in a child's behaviors and challenges to help them, as intended. Seriously great presentation would rate it even higher if I could. Really enjoyed everything Doug had to say and all the real-life examples he shared."

" Loved this presentation! Great info and presentation."

“Dr. Bolton was amazing- extremely informative, inspiring, and personable. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Outstanding- thank you so much!”

“This was a great and inspiring presentation.”

“Very inspirational. Great time to learn, stop, reflect and ponder what to do differently to positively connect, stay connected and repair connections when needed, especially with our most challenging students.”

“I was not going to join this session because I had heard it before.  I ended up switching to this one and am glad I did. It helps to hear it more than once!!”

"This Professional Development on Trauma in Schools was one of the best ones that I have attended. The presenter was informative, but also very personable. His presentation made me thin about my students in the class and how I can reach their emotional needs through the skills that he taught us.”

"It really made me stop and consider how I can help an at risk student more. The importance of building a sense of belonging and the impact it will have."

"Doug Bolton is the BEST Professional Development I have received in this district. He is inspiring not only to me as a teacher, but as a person. Thank you for allowing us to have him as a presenter again."

"Very inspirational. Great time to learn, stop, reflect and ponder what to do differently to positively connect, stay connected and repair connections when needed, especially with our most challenging students."

"Applicable information for students and staff. Thank you for creating awareness on the importance of belonging and its effects on school community."

"Doug was amazing. I really enjoyed listening to him talk. He made me think about my own actions in the classroom and think about how I will move forward."

"I could listen to Doug Bolton talk for hours! The information and anecdotes he shared were powerful and made me really step back and reevaluate my teaching style."

"He is magnetic, inspiring, and has such a breadth and depth of knowledge. His personal experience (with his son, and other personal stories), and his references (to authors, researchers, quotes) grounded everything, and provide the data to support all the presented material."

"Doug Bolton is an engaging speaker who skillfully involved us in research evidence, and pushed us to personally evaluate ourselves and our work situations. He initiated thoughtful reflection regarding our personal current practices, and how they could be modified."

Doug Bolton was FANTASTIC! Ten minutes in to his presentation I was texting my principal saying he should speak to our entire building and as the presentation went on I was even more impressed. He’s phenomenal."
