“I’ve attended two LHH seminars facilitated by Vaneese: LHH Orientation and a multi-day LHH Career in Transition seminar. Each time, she quickly built trust with the class participants, was very knowledgeable about the material, and tailored the course material to meet our needs. I enjoyed the stories that she relayed which support the course concepts. At the end of the workshop, we all understood what we need to do progress our careers forward.

“I had the honor of hiring Vaneese for what I believe was her first ‘official’ teaching job, as co-instructor for the BEST program at JVS. She led workshops on a variety of topics for a very diverse group of trainees who were interested in entering the workforce development field. Vaneese took to teaching like a duck to water, and exceeded both my & the students’ expectations for the role. She has great ideas about how to present new ideas to adult learners, and is a strong facilitator, handling group dynamics with aplomb.” March 6, 2010
