"Every teacher, administrator, student or parent should come across Tara
Brown at least once. The energy she is capable of delivering is only
shadowed by that which she is able to draw from her audience. It is a
pleasure to watch teachers interacting with her. It is like medicine that is
working. I would not only recommend Tara Brown. I would personally guarantee
it."

"Yesterday was absolutely awesome! I have heard more positive feedback
from this staff development than any other we have offered in the last 6
years. What a joy it was to see the whole faculty totally absorbing all you
said and laughing at the same time! What a powerful impact you had on JCS!
We look forward to having you again in the future."

"Tara Brown's keynote speech at our opening day in-service was powerful and
memorable. Her message compelled us all‹classified and certified staff
alike to stop and think about the importance of building relationships. In
this age of accountability and high stakes testing, we must also remember to
address the emotional and social needs of our students. With her own
personal stories of growing-up as well as her years spent in the classroom
as a teacher, Ms. Brown was able to provide our staff with a myriad of
examples where a smile, a pat-on-the back, or a kind word of encouragement
had a dramatic impact on a student's life."

"This has been an amazing day. Your training helped me think back on the
past 5 years of teaching and remember fondly my classes and the importance
of the relationships we built. I was feeling pretty burnt out, but today was
a gift. I actually wish I had students to go back to sooner than
August-Thank you!"

"Tara's hallmark is her humor. I've seen her use laughter to bring together incredibly diverse groups of students and educators. She gets people to relax, then challenges them to build connections, and equips them with tools for leadership in school, work and life."
