Words do not do justice to the impact Justine's training has had on us as individuals, leaders, and our organization. Brené Brown’s material is exactly what we need to take our team’s leadership to the next level and Justine was the perfect facilitator/guide on the journey.
Ryan McCrea
Manager of Talent Development, Commerce Bank
Justine is one of the brave people helping leaders think differently and strive to build genuine connections with their teams. For the past few years, Justine has been a staple in our leadership development programs at Commerce Bank.
Jeff Lefton
Vice President, Psychological Associates
In my opinion, this is one of, if not the best, programs I’ve seen since I’ve been involved with St. Louis Organization Development Network. Justine’s combination of knowledge from being a therapist coupled with the Brené Brown content is a very powerful combination!
Lori Maher McCombs
Owner, Maher Group
Justine’s presentations are suited for any audience, and in particular, will help leaders build a stronger, more resilient culture. As a convention planner, I would highly recommend any of Justine’s presentations. She is a true joy to work with!

how to truly rest
What have you been taught about rest? Maybe that there isn't time for that. Or that rest is for the lazy. Or for those people. Or how will everything get done if I rest? I know life is a lot, especially this time of year. May

Feelings must and will be felt.
How do I know if I am coping well or if I am stuffing down, plowing through, numbing, medicating, avoiding, escaping, or doing anything possible to not feel my feelings? Do you feel rested, restored, and refilled after? Or do you

when our work is hard and important.
