Testimonials

“The Birkman validated specific characteristics and styles that we as parents had seen in our son. Having these stated explicitly and in understandable terms by a specialist affirmed him and gave guidelines for heading into his college years. His way of dealing with life and managing time and people were pinpointed in ways that we could specifically help him grow — and were explained to him so he can know himself better. Using the information/results, we can: guide our son to understand the ways, methods, and circumstances in which he will naturally function best, validate his specific needs and show him how to be self-aware… and we can guide him in how to realize his fullest potential. The occupation results sure made a difference in forging ahead with the appropriate college as well!”

–Tamara Gallagher, Houston, TX
