I have noticed a tremendous change in my daughter (after six weeks of coaching with Dr. Carla). She is more confident, has higher self-esteem, and is more in tune with her strengths and ability to achieve her goals and dreams. I would strongly recommend this program to other parents. — Ms. G. Shack, Mother of 13-year-old coaching client

I loved it. It was one of the FUNNIEST workshops I have ever been to. It wasn’t one of those sit down adult kinds. We actually got up and had fun! — Destiny, age 15

I was present at the self-esteem workshop Dr. Carla facilitated. I was very impressed with her presentation and the level of engagement of the girls. I observed their attention, interest, and participation in the interactive activities that required them to reflect on their thinking and their beliefs about themselves. I know that the girls left with a sense of pride and more confidence in themselves. I think that these types of workshops should be done in all schools and organizations that address the social and emotional development of girls. — Linda Thompson, Ph.D., Mentor and retired school administrator

Dr. Carla is someone who you can really trust and look up to. She is someone who I can go and talk to about any of my problems whether it’s a boyfriend or even something deeper. She is a great motivator. She is someone who I can call my big sister. I know she won’t judge me about any problem I may have in my life. — Sesyli, HOTGIRLS graduate
