"The training I experienced with Bill Corbett was among the best training I have received in the many years I have been doing this job. The content was phenomenal in that it provided context, comprehension, tools and methods of deployment. Significantly, he provided the psychology, the thinking behind the interventions so that they could be replicated in culturally diverse settings. Bill has amassed a breadth and depth of knowledge that was developed working in the trenches as a participant and not an observer. Furthermore, he shared this knowledge and experience in a very engaging, practical and inclusive manner. I walked away from this workshop experience a changed, re-motivated and engaged youth worker who again found hope that what we do truly does matter." - Irwin Larrier, Center for Community Justice Elkhart

"Bill opened the event I attended in Amersfoort, NL with a keynote that captured the audience's attention with humor and thought-provoking information. He drove home the points that the words and actions of both parents and teachers plays a critical role in the development of the child, even more of a reason that parent involvement in the child's education is key to the child's growth and development. He ended his dynamic presentation by creating images for the audience that life is too short not to be doing what matters most; caring for ourselves so that we can care for our children." - Judith Westerhoff-Bartels, Nettstaff
