To Whom It May Concern:

As a seminar and training workshop facilitator in the areas of leadership, teamwork, customer service and goal management, I use my Elan Academy and Facilitation training on a daily basis. Trinidad's influence has proved invaluable for both my personal life and professional workshop facilitation techniques. Her mentoring has assisted me to touch thousands of leaders with a leadership message centered on people and her training was significant in my selection as a seminar facilitator for the Covey Leadership Center.

I attended Elan Academy and Facilitation training in 1994/95, as well as understudying Trin's corporate training workshops in multiple organizations. Trin's life fulfillment message and self-improvement techniques were powerful influences on my life. Although I was very happy pre-Trin, I am more fulfilled, calm, focused and influential thanks to her insights, strategies and personal tools. Elan;s "life skills" approach using the Comfort Zone, Reticular Activating System, visualization and goal management techniques ensures personal success. Trin allows individuals to reach inside themselves for introspection and self-management. Our children need these life skills to manage their productivity, contributions and happiness. Our schools do not provide this valuable approach to living life as it was intended. Trin does not tell you how to live your life, she provides you the tools to live your life. I have shared her message with family, friends and professional peers. Her books are frequent, valued gifts from me to others. Trin's influence is with me every time I conduct a seminar or workshop; my goal each seminar is to reach people as well as Trin does.

The World Youth Network is the perfect forum for Trin's message to reach young people, so they have the skills to contribute and be happy. Her influence on individuals is personal and permanent.
