More About Kim Hughes
"I have been in education for 17 years and have had numerous trainings in behavior management. None of these trainings seemed to work; they were either too punitive or too reward-based. I finally took your workshop, and because Conscious Discipline is based on brain state research, it made sense to me. You did a superb job of explaining the concepts and making it relevant to teaching and parenting. I began using Conscious Discipline with my students and own children at home and quickly saw its effectiveness. What a difference I see in myself, my students and my own children."
"Conscious Discipline is one of the most valuable trainings that I have been to in years. It is about empowering people to help others become their personal best by building them up- not tearing them down. Kim Hughes is such an engaging and dynamic presenter that it's easy to sit for more than an hour and feel as if just a few minutes have passed."
"I walked away from today's workshop with tools that will have a positive impact in my classroom. This year my reserves were running low, and I haven't brought the same level of energy and enthusiasm to the classroom. Your workshop reminded me that making connections with the children is what I love most about teaching! You provided many examples of how to do that. I left feeling excited and invigorated!"
"I attended your Conscious Discipline training, and I am SO excited about this paradigm shift! Not only for my EELP class, but also with how I am raising my 7 year old son. Kim was so dynamic and engaging today. I look forward to implementing Conscious Discipline in my classroom and my life!"
