CareerFusion Retreat Testimonials " January 2007!

"Since 2004, I have been pondering my options with my dental hygiene career. I attended the first CareerFusion™ in Daytona Beach in January of 2007. This retreat is a MUST for any dental hygienist that is exploring their career options. The atmosphere was truly motivational in a positive and SAFE environment. I was amazed by the willingness of everyone that attended to support one another. I learned so many valuable tools and skills during this retreat, as well as making life long friends.
A heartfelt thank you to Kristy and Beth for making their CareerFusion™ vision a reality. This experience was priceless and one that I will not forget. I would highly recommend this retreat to all dental hygienists who are looking for options outside of traditional clinical dental hygiene. Jumpstart your career with CareerFusion™!"

"The best dental hygiene "retreat" I have ever attended. CareerFusion is a retreat that definitely was a treat. It offered a space and a place in time that was generous to all the senses. It offered support to the individual dental hygienist within a group of powerful women involved in a personal and professional journey. It engaged us in our process of lifelong learning and offered the practical skills of Microsoft word, PowerPoint, and internet; networking time with the big names in dental hygiene; and career changing opportunities with corporate sponsors. It supplied the practical skills and the leadership in making professional visions realities.

"Just wanted to share the good news that I have been working with my very first client. Thanks to CareerFusion for the encouragement and confidence. I know this would not have happened so soon without the experience of CareerFlow. Borrowing a quote from Beth Thompson, who borrowed the quote from Julia Cameron, "I have learned, as a rule of thumb, never to ask whether you can do something. Say, instead, that you are doing it. Then fasten your seat belt. The most remarkable things follow." My seat belt is fastened! Thanks again to all involved with CareerFusion!!!"

"I have heard lots of positive buzz about CareerFusion. I have already heard of some people that are ready to attend another session when available. The fantastic experience and the tremendous number of resources provided have helped me nearly every day. Also, now we have this network with each other is fantastic. None of us has to feel we are out there alone and just guessing at the answers."

"I cannot express enough what an incredibly positive impact CareerFusion had on me. Before attending, I wasn't sure of the direction I wanted to head, and afterward, many things fell into line and many things became much clearer to me. So many doors opened up and gave me a new sense of where I was supposed to be. Thank you so much!"

"The 2007 Career Flow Retreat provided me with direction for my future goals. Prior to going to CareerFusion, my goals were very general, and I did not have all of the specific details planned as to how I was going to achieve my goals. During CareerFusion, I learned some important steps I can take in my career to enhance my progress in achieving my goals.
The most innovative "secret nugget" I gained from my experience with CareerFusion is that learning and growth occur when you step outside of your "home comfort zone." It's easy to go through life only doing what you are comfortable with, but learning and new experiences will not occur that way. Three comfort zones were discussed at CareerFusion: the home, learning, and panic zones. A "secret nugget" I'd like to share with others is that putting one foot in the "learning zone" and one foot in the "panic zone" results in progress."

To All of My RDH Colleagues:
I would strongly recommend that you find a way to attend any of the upcoming programs sponsored by CareerFusion. Kristy and Beth are amazing and they are ...Hygienist's!! This unique program is designed by Hygienist's for Hygienist's in making that quantum leap from the clinical and educational arena into the corporate arena. The program's easy approach on developing our presentation and sales skills makes it easy to overcome our confidence barriers. I have presented many presentations in my career; CareerFusion will help me become a more polished presenter on any topic.

I would like to thank.... Beth And Kristy for the opportunity to participate in this stellar program, to acquaint and reacquaint with some of the stars in Dental Hygiene. The professional and personal contacts made in January 2007 will stay with me a lifetime! TAKE THIS PROGRAM...without delay!!

"I was able to meet some of the leaders in our profession and learn from them on an individual level. Their advice and experience were invaluable to me. I also learned that the sky really is the limit in our profession; there is so much we can do. The first step is to write articles for publication in the dental magazines. This helps us make a name for ourselves, and then more opportunities will follow. It is also important go to the national ADHA meetings and network with the leaders of our profession. They are great examples, and their career paths are amazing. I would encourage everyone to attend a Career Flow retreat. The knowledge, networking, and direction you receive are invaluable."

"How privileged I am to have been a part of the first CareerFusion Retreat! A stimulating four days filled with learning, networking, and exploring areas beyond clinical dental hygiene. The materials provided were amazing and have already been helpful. The attendees included some whom I already called friends and now that is expanded to this group of 'flowies'! Enthusiastic corporate sponsors provided material and contact in a relaxed setting. The participants included nationally known writers and speakers that enhanced what Beth and Kristy presented. Kudos to you both for a professional, educational as well as entertaining retreat." - Nancy Brohawn RDH, BSDH " Association Leader
