Dear Ms. Segami,

Thank you for bringing Painting on Water to the students at IIT! Your engaging program was exactly what the students needed to build their creativity and enhance their understanding of leadership.

As I hope you noticed, the students loved the hands-on painting portion of the seminar. Routinely, students would build on other group member's creativity by learning from the previous person's painting and then add something unique to their own piece. There was little doubt that the students were able to build their "creative confidence" during this program. Further, the group piece allowed the students to work together - teaching communication, teamwork and compromise skills.

It is with great pride that I am able to share that I have never witnessed such an enthusiastic and long standing ovation at the end of any seminar! You have a remarkable ability to sincerely connect with your audience and you were able to do this with a large group of students - truly amazing!

I strongly encourage any organization seeking a unique and powerful leadership
development program to consider bringing Painting on Water™ to their campus. If you wish to use me as a reference, I would be delighted to discuss the merits of both you as a facilitator as well as your program with anyone interested in learning more about Painting on Water™. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if I can be of assistance in this regard.

Sincerely,
Heather McLinden, M.S.
Associate Director
IIT Leadership Academy
