Testimonials

Rae Sikora has a unique talent to educate, entertain, and enlighten all at the same time. She never leaves a group without adding them to her circle of friends. If Rae was in charge of the world, we would be living in peace. 

Howard Lyman, Founder of Voice for a Viable Future, and author of Mad Cowboy and No More Bull. 

As a leader of a campus organization, I've had the privilege to bring many prominent speakers to our university, and Jim Corcoran ranks among the very top we've had the pleasure to host. He is especially adept at connecting with his audience, encouraging discussion, and answering wide-ranging questions. The audience departed with profound new insights, and perhaps more significantly, with inspiration and motivation to take action.

Eric Griffith, Librarian and Faculty Advisor of Speak Out for Species, University of Georgia

Rae Sikora is not just a good speaker, she is a good listener, and THAT is what makes her so effective at working with groups. Being able to really hear concerns from her audience, and then being able to address those concerns plus the sometimes bigger issues that their vocalized concerns are masking - that is why Rae is so effective at helping people to see and think in new ways. 

JoAnn Farb, Author of Compassionate Souls: Raising the Next Generation to Change the World

Rae is a very gifted orator and an excellent workshop leader. I have had the opportunity to take several classes, workshops and a weekend seminar that she has led, and I can assure you that my life has been enriched and my skills in dealing with others enhanced due to my work with Rae. She brings great understanding and empathy to enhancing our relationships with each other, the animals, and the Earth.

Rae has had a profound impact on my life - her way of being, relating and communicating has shaped me in ways I am eternally grateful for. Rae modeled such powerful communication for me at a workshop in Maine one year, that I changed the course of my work. She is a visionary with an undying commitment to bring healing and compassion to all parts of the Earth. She is down-to-earth, humble, and creative - and I continue to call on her for advice.

Rae's presentation to activists in our area was the perfect weapon against burnout!

Jim's wit and wisdom make him a talented speaker. His wealth of knowledge with a passion to share it, provides him with the ability to thoroughly convey his message. On many occasions throughout the years, he has inspired students to make positive changes in their lives.

Kathy Gauthier, MA, Executive Director of Irene's Myomassology Institute

Jim Corcoran is an effective and persuasive speaker. His presentation even prompted me to make changes in my life. He exhibits a nice balance between knowledge of his subject and personally appealing to his audience.

Delmar Schmidt, Program Director WFRN-TV, Michigan

Jim and Rae were wonderfully down to earth and because they came to veganism for different reasons, they were a fantastic compliment to one another. I learned a great deal that I will be able to apply immediately and they tailored their presentation to meet the needs of the participants. The information was both general and specific and just the right amount to not overwhelm but inspire. LOVED it!
