"I have had the great pleasure of coordinating wellness workshops with Denise for our 750+ Yale Medicine Administration staff members over the last 3+ years. We have continued to ask Denise to return and share her wisdom with our staff because it is evident she has had an incredible impact on our staff members’ wellbeing through their positive feedback of her. Whether it’s classes on physical activities like yoga, meditation and breathing exercises, or classes on vital life-skills like resolving anxious thoughts, stress management & self-care, empathy & burn out, and healthy relationship & communication styles, Denise delivers an exceptional experience every time and customizes her presentations based on what our staff share they hope to gain from each session and the nature of their jobs. She is consistently professional and pleasant in her demeanor and always makes sure to include relatable examples when speaking on each topic. I personally have gained incredible value by attending each of her classes and appreciate the time and effort she puts into her presentation materials, her engaging speaking-style and overall contagious positive energy she delivers to the class. We look forward to continuing this relationship with Denise in the future and can’t recommend her enough for presenting in corporate settings. We held a raffle for our staff to win copies of her workbook “Ripple Affect: Change Your Mind. Change Your Life” and the winners were thrilled. Some mentioned they even ordered additional copies for their family members. Whenever surveys are sent to our staff to get a pulse on employee engagement and morale, Denise and her classes are consistently brought up and praised. She encourages the staff to start where they are and gives them the confidence and motivation to pursue their very best lives. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do every day, Denise. We at Yale Medicine Administration cherish you and wish you endless success in your pursuits!" ~Maryam Rahmani, Employee Engagement Lead for Yale Medicine Administration
"I will definitely continue using mindfulness skills in order to improve my mental health as well as the relationships I hold with others. I’ve realized that most of the negative behaviors I experience result from my own internal emotions, and now I know that I have the power to control how I react to different events or situations. When I encounter a tough situation or problem, I will notice what emotions I’m feeling and be conscious of how my mind initially reacts to things. Next, instead of acting on impulse, I will think about reacting differently in a way where I’m not aggravating myself or causing fights with the people around me." ~Tess, age 22 "I see myself using mindfulness in the future. I think being aware of how things impact the way I feel and how I choose to react has relieved some stress from my life already. Knowing what I can and can't control puts things into perspective. Also just taking time for myself was a huge takeaway for me as well and is something I am going to incorporate more into my daily routine." ~Dawn, age 48 "I definitely will continue using mindfulness when it comes to stressful situations in my life as well as reflecting on my actions and even just having a positive mindset everyday. Today, I woke up and knew I had so much to do. The thought of it stressed me out but I told myself just to focus on the present situation and it helped so much." ~Steve, Age 56 |
