Elayne, your Rejecting Rejection program for National Speakers Association/Colorado is awesome. Your bold and daring talk touched my heart. Indeed, you went straight to the heart of the matter.
Your DC-3 story alone is worth the price of admission. It is exhilarating to share in the triumph of your pilgrimage. Your story is wonderfully inspiring and healing.
Thank you, Elayne, for having the courage to speak about rejection. Especially how the fear of rejection holds us back.
Thank
you again for highlighting the importance of dealing with
our rejection experiences. Thank you for showing us how to
move out of the rejection shadow and into the light.

Dr. Savage, I wish I had words to describe the ways YOUR words affect me each day. I thoroughly enjoyed your Dealing with Difficult People program at the National School Boards Association Conference.
I'm impressed by your ease in presenting this valuable information. I especially love your suggestion about throwing away resentment. The image of you tossing it away still stays with me!
Another valuable take-away is remembering to acknowledge the impact of life experiences on present-day interactions.
Thank
you so much for a truly rewarding experience. I only wish
there had been more time to explore some of your other unique
ideas.
