Kathy provided an outstanding program in conflict resolution at the annual State Podiatric Medical Conference. Initially met with skepticism by members more used to non-participatory lectures, the post conference comments described a program that proved very useful to members in their private practices. Patient visits are more win-win using the techniques she taught. I recommend the program highly. – Alan Kalker, DPM, Retired Assistant Clinical Professor, Dept. of Surgery, UW Hospital
Kathy has presented over 80 workshops under my auspices through the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Division of Continuing Studies.
