"Good morning folks,
Here's feedback about yesterdays workshop.
I found Eleanor Edwards to be an outstanding speaker. The lady seems to be born with
the art of speaking.
She had the room comfortable with her presence the minute she took over the floor.
Besides being a very enthusiastic speaker, she was also a very good listener, she listened
to each of us intently without interrupting and provided instantaneous feedback. She was
immensely funny and many times she had the room in splits (of laughter) She knew
exactly what our fears were and she addressed them such as why we are scared of
approaching people and telling them we are looking for a job. She also reminded us that
letting people know that you are looking for a job is not a bad or embarrassing thing.
There could be many reasons you are looking for a job, not the least bit which could be
that you are not good enough to be employed anywhere.
Eleanor was engaging and there was little reason for anyone in the room to start looking
at the time.
She motivated us and really ignited the confidence in us sharing her own tale of once
having been a single mom living in shelters.
I really enjoyed listening to Eleanor Edwards. She is an excellent speaker and person.
Thank you Youth in Motion."

"You have shown me the strength I possess will allow me to achieve my goals. Your continuous words of encouragement have allowed me to keep focused on my future. In the past, I've had people try to provide encouragement, however it just seemed like words. Your words of encouragement are somehow different in the way they have impacted me. I see you as a genuine role model and someone to look up to. You are the type of person who radiates energy. Just your presence is welcoming and when you interact with people, you are always positive, vibrant and easy to talk to. Your warm personality is fun loving and you are always willing to help in any situation."

"It’s amazing the difference that Positive Possibilities, Life Esteem coaching has made. I used to believe in thinking the worst of things to lessen the blow when the worst happened. I’ve discovered through Life Esteem coaching that by thinking the worst of a situation all I’m doing is giving “the worst” an invitation. Today I am more able to handle my life. I handle everything with much more ease, because that “No exit” road I thought I was on has just turned into a huge open freeway. I would like to give a special thanks to Eleanor Edwards for teaching me things that I will carry with me through life."

"Hi Eleanor! I have talked a lot about your coaching since I left Toronto and I am really hoping that your coaching will eventually be available nationwide."
Amber W. (2005)
"Just so you know I am never ever gonna stop talking about Positive Possibilities! I wish you actually knew the big-time impact you have made in my life. If I could sing there would be a song on the radio already, but since I can’t I will just fill your in box with thank-you e-mails. Eleanor, you are an angel in disguise. Positive Possibilities showed me the possibilities, that I thought weren't possible because of what I thought were barriers. Thank you Eleanor, you’ll always be in my heart."
Latoya Dwyer (2007)
"I cannot thank you enough for all those positive attitudes you talked to us about. Just by listening to you and all those words and advice you gave us is so unforgettable to me! Everybody in my surrounding area has heard about you from me!"
Sarah Y. (2008)
"After the very first day I began to notice change in my thinking and as result my self-esteem was boosted. The life skills that were taught truly gave an understanding of what is really needed to generally be a good person and of course a good employee. What I enjoyed most and thought was really moving about the teachings was how Ms. Edwards shared her own life stories and experiences with us. I loved that! I believe that it’s important in a training program when people can see what was and what can be. Everyone can be better, they can be the ideal employee and that is one of the things Ms. Edwards strives to achieve through her training. I recommend Life Esteem training to any looking for this type of service and improvement. You will not be disappointed!"

What More People Are Saying...
"Hi Eleanor: As I am writing this thank you note, I can hardly believe that I met you less than 2 weeks ago. Our meeting changed my life!! Before we met, I was thinking that non-profit might be a good career because it would allow me to combine my passion for championing and empowering people with my business skills. When we met you were warm and friendly and incredibly insightful. You gave me so many things to think about. I felt like a sponge just soaking in all of your knowledge. I told you when we were finished that I was excited that you hadn’t scared me away from the non-profit sector. I had no idea that there were so many things to think about. For example: board of directors, unionized vs. non-unionized environment, and government funding. Thank you for sharing such great information with me. I learned so much. It was a pleasure meeting you, and I look forward to keeping in touch with you."
Elizabeth Warren (2008)
"I am sending you this card to let you know that you’ve been a true inspiration in my life; you have given me a very vital source of wisdom on how to be more positive and confident. I can always resort to the teachings you have given me whenever I am not sure, and that’s amazing. I truly hope that you achieve all your dreams and goals. May you receive boundless recognition for your work because I know as many others do, that you, Eleanor Edwards deserve it."
