“I worked with Dr. B when I was a music student in my junior
and senior years at Mills College. His experiences in dealing
with all kinds of people from troubled youth to actors to professional
opera singers had one thing in common – to see the special
qualities within an individual and to help them ALL realize their
greatest potential. He helped me to open up as a performer,
to visualize the perfect performance, to “play” more
in my life as well as on stage, to be a voice through which the
music flowed. Today, I am a mother of two young children
and a commercial real estate consultant. A lot has changed
with my career path, but what I learned from Dr. B has stayed with
me. I have more confidence in trying new things at work;
in believing that I have the capacity within me to tackle a difficult
and complex job, and I am a better parent using what I learned. Dr.
B taught me about the power of JOY in everything that I do.”
