I was fortunate enough to be a part of the Personal Development workshop offered by my district hosted by Denise Bertolotti. I truly believe people and events come into our lives at a time when we need them most. Even if we are unsure of the “why” at the moment...eventually it makes sense. I was going through a situation personally that I had a lot of uncertainty with. My first child was getting ready to leave for college. I know it may sound small to some but for my family it was huge. The monetary uncertainty, letting go of a child and the changes that would come with it. We are very close family and this was a huge transition for us to endure. This workshop gave me the tools I needed to ground myself and be the best I could be during this difficult time. I still keep my “workbook” in my night table draw and call upon it often at the end of the day to reflect on what was great and what I could have done differently. It also helps me reflect on situations I journaled and how I have grown since then. Sometimes I just need it to remind myself that it’s going to be ok. I highly recommend the Personal Development workshop. Denise Bertolotti is real, genuine, and compassionate. She allows herself to get vulnerable without judgement taking this workshop to a level that if you allow it....is life changing!
