TESTIMONIALS

"I surprisingly enjoyed Deborah Levine's lecture.  She has a great speaking voice and also because she had a lot of interesting information and put things into a non conventional format that was easy listening. Being Jewish, she was able to inform us of specific situations she had been in and how Jewish people react to certain situations such as company Christmas parties. At first, I felt religion was something that wasn't that big of an issue in the workplace and also that I'd be uncomfortable addressing to peers and coworkers simply because it's sacred and personal. However, listening to the speaker proudly acknowledge that she was Jewish and that she could be a comfortable "ambassador" of the religion, I got a little more comfortable. 

I realized that most people's values, morals and beliefs are based on their religion. Ethics & beliefs about how to treat others, how to handle delicate situations in the workplace are based on people's religion and what we believe is right."
