"I truly believe this assessment will have a deep, lasting impact on Josiah. He thrives on positive feedback and affirmation. There are many people around here who have really bullied him and beat him down. He has clung to who he knows he is without them but their harsh words and actions have given him a real gut punch and made him question what he thought he knew about himself. This couldn't have come at a better time!! I'm so glad the Lord put him on your heart to take this! Thank you, Cynthia!!"

[Initial Testimony]: "I am currently tutoring Grace in composition and grammar. We meet four days a week; it’s been a challenge to get her inspired and motivated to give me more than the bare minimum. I did the YES! consultation with her and her mom last evening. She’s very unstructured, authoritative, and content - and it really showed during the consultation. I worked very hard to keep her focused. I didn’t realize just how much of an impact the consultation would have. After talking about her strengths and the way God has gifted her with an amazing design last night, our class this morning was absolutely amazing. She was prepared for class. She had done a very thorough job of completing the assignment. It was the best class we have had all year. I was reminded again of how important it is to tell our kids just how amazing they are!" [Later Testimony]: "After another month, we determined she was making very good progress and didn't need continued tutoring. The validation she received as a unique and valuable person made all the difference!"

"Even though I’m not in the 12–16-year-old age group, I wanted to experience Your Extraordinary Self! assessment for myself. I was really curious to see how my Yes! results would line up with my Career Direct. The results were spot-on. I love how personable this tool is, with colorful, engaging, explanatory videos to enhance everything else." (Sue Derr) "I was thrilled to see how closely the YES! Results mirrored my Career Direct Detailed Report. It was a great confirmation to me of the efficacy of the YES! assessment." (Cynthia Saladin)

Ryder is a thirteen-year-old who doesn't like math. When I sent a two-week follow-up, here's the response I got back from his mom about how they were feeling about the assessment/consultation: "We have thought and talked a lot about [the assessment results]. After the test we changed up our schooling a little. We started algebra and are looking for more science classes. Trying to incorporate different things into what we are doing at home now."
