"Teach Now was exactly what I needed as a teacher, a student and a human being. Jen and Michele bring such honesty, generosity, wisdom and clarity to their teaching. Their insights, combined with the practical tools they shared, nourished me and supported me to take the next steps along my own teaching path. This course was everything I had hoped it would be, and more. I’ll be back for more!" --Marianne Elliott, UN Peacekeeper, Human Rights Advocate, Writer, Yoga Teacher (taken Teach Now twice) |
"Teach Now is one of the most powerful educational experiences I have had.I learned what I needed to know to teach more confidently, have a greater impact on students, and enjoy teaching much, much, more. Michele and Jen are experienced, wise, fun guides with an incredible wealth of wisdom to share about teaching." --Tara Sophia Mohr, Writer and Personal Growth Teacher |
"Teaching isn't new to me. I’ve been doing it for 15+ years. When I signed up for Teach Now, I knew I'd dig it. But I wasn't expecting the level of pure awesome Jen and Michele brought. There was stuff they taught that was totally relevant to things I was struggling with. And there were other bits that I so wish someone had told me years ago--things that would've made teaching a totally different experience for me. Jen and Michele are serving up transformative stuff here. Practical stuff. Solid stuff. Stuff that comes from actual experience. Priceless stuff. I don't wow easily. But Teach Now completely wowed my face off. If you have even the tiniest interest in teaching, jump in. It’s totally worth it." --Fabeku Fatunmise, Business Awesomizer/Suck Exorcist/Punk Rock Alchemist |
"The Teach Now course was a warm and blessed support in my exploration of teaching. The videos and recordings were like wise and generous friends.I loved listening to the calls and interviews over and again for the many gems they contained. I am not a front-of-the-room teacher, yet I found an amazing depth of wisdom to encourage my work in the world- which, as it turns out, is a form of teaching." --Ingrid Goff-Maidoff, Author and Book artist |
"Your Teach Now course last fall was one of the best courses I have ever taken! I have signed up again. This course beautifully models 'appropriate dosing.' The calls were diverse and experiential, and the recorded interviews with revered and highly effective teachers were amazing! If teaching is part of your work, and you have experienced any of the above challenges, I can't recommend it highly enough." --Laurie Rosenfeld, Master Coach, Lawyer, Organizational Development Consultant |
"Two more gifted women do not exist to teach on teaching. They walk their talk and live what they speak. More, they consistently invite me to do the same. I cannot advocate their work, their passion, their content, their hearts enthusiastically enough." --Ronna Detrick, Writer & Personal Growth Teacher |
"Thank you, Jen and Michele, for Teach Now. I signed up hoping for something that would increase my teaching skills, but what I received was something much greater: not just learning, but transformative growth." --Pace Smith, Connection-Revolution.com |
"Thank you for creating and delivering a terrific program. I have participated in a number of programs and TeachNow ranks number one for me in terms of value and learning. I have learned so much from you and your fellow teachers (awesome interviews). The organization has been excellent--the quality of materials outstanding--and the extra mile you have traveled to provide transcripts –these have been invaluable to me. I love the way you work together too--you have great chemistry and partner well. I have been and will be recommending your work." --Ben Anderson, Technology Leadership Recruiter |
"Between the wisdom and lightness emanating from the two of you AND the incredible interviews, holy cow! Thank you!" --Betsy Jackson, Playwright, Speaker, Writer

"Teach Now will change your life, and that's no dramatization. It is soul fuel. As a new Coach, I wondered if TeachNow was going to be aimed more at teachers and less at coaches. What I realized was that I am a teacher. It was a perfect fit. I was also terrified I’d feel like my fears and anxieties would not be shared and I'd sound like a fool. How wrong I was! And the exercise we did calling up our guides and teachers? I use that before every coaching session and it feels powerful and calms me down, every single time." --Kerry Demetriou, Coach and Teacher |
"Teach Now showed up at exactly the right time for me. Up until now, I called myself a "facilitator" because I was sure I didn't have any special wisdom. But now I am a TEACHER and you have helped me claim that title! I now teach college communication and I hear comments like 'I was ready to drop out of the program until I started taking your class' and 'You are the BEST teacher we've had' and 'You have inspired me to believe that I can pursue my dreams.' I have been welcomed into a new tribe. Thank you." --Heather Plett, Leadership Trainer, Teacher, Social Change Agent, Writer |
"TeachNow was so helpful for me. I have listened over and over again to the recordings. It was simply a course that delivered." --Nicola Warwick, Photographer, Coach, Writer |
"There was no good reason why I needed Teach Now. I have been teaching for over 20 years, yet I trusted my intuition to sign up--thankfully. This course was so much more than I expected or dared to hope, so personally and professionally transformative. Teach Now is a reminder of the importance of true teaching and let me see that the soulful coaching community I'm longing for exists." --Lianne Raymond, Coach, High School Teacher, Yoga Teacher |
"When I first took TeachNow, I had just ended a 10-year career as a teacher in Japan and was feeling very raw. When I took TeachNow the 2nd time, Japan had just experienced the earthquake, tsunami, and tragic reactor accident, and everyone around me was feeling very raw. To me, TeachNow was not just an e-course, but a grounding force. In Jen and Michele, I found two teachers who could provide truth. In the teachers who shared their experiences, I found wisdom and courage. To this vulnerable former teacher who had lost her courage to teach, the voices became a chorus of acceptance and healthy detachment. I still listen to the interviews today, a year after I've left my teaching post, and know that when I stand in front of my next class, I'll be much more honest with myself, my students." --Kiki Murai, Teacher

"TeachNow has been life-changing for me as a person and as a teacher. It is the best gift I have given myself in years! The course helped me tunnel through the blocks that were keeping me from fully stepping into teaching. If you doubt your calling, if you wonder whether *you* have something essential to say to the world, *this* is the course for you. You will find companionship, support, and tools to help you find your voice, answer your calling, identify your students, and learn about authentic marketing. If you are already teaching, TeachNow will enrich your practice and enhance your self-care." --Corryn Crosby-Muilenburg, Shaman and Teacher |
"There is much to love about TeachNow. The calls, the interviews with master teachers, the homework, the opportunities for community engagement; yet for me, the absolute best part was that I could do it at my own pace. Working a 9-5 job and delivering my workshops/teaching 'on the side,' there wasn't much time in my packed schedule to go through the material. I've learned by their 'meta' examples on the class calls; from modeling appropriate dosing and the varied forms of delivery. I've gained inspiration and felt unending support from the delicious content they've collected and shared. My experience with TeachNow has made me a more comfortable and confident teacher,and the people I work with are reaping the benefits." --Deb Cooperman, Writing Evangelist and Founder of Living Out Loud Writing Groups |
"Teach Now has served me far beyond the price of admission. From the first recording, I felt assured and able to hear more clearly the tiny voice inside me that said I was on the right track rather than the louder voice telling me it was too late (Alice vs. the White Rabbit). After TeachNow, Alice wins every time.Michelle and Jen are deliver on their promises, and never, ever make anyone feel like they don't belong, are stupid, less than, or anything other than 100% normal. They make the course so easy to use at your own pace. That alone is another TeachNow take-away--how to organize materials so your students/clients get the most out of what you are offering. Jen and Michelle, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful selves with all of us!" --Claire Beaumont |
