“Vera Waters first contacted me when I was at the Catholic Herald. She wrote articles on a regular basis, not only about her work as a counsellor but as someone who understands human nature. There is a strong spiritual element in her work. She somehow manages to float above denomination.

Peter Stanford, Journalist

“Dear Vera,

How can I possibly begin to thank you for the excellent presentation you gave to our members at the recent British Society of Baking Conference. Vera you worked so hard, never have we had a speaker that gave so much time to the delegates.

It was so interesting at the lunch and coffee break: delegates were saying just how much they enjoyed your talk and it really made them think. So many said it would have been superb to have you to give a presentation to the delegates at the conference, and this the society will consider in the future.

I found you as an after-dinner speaker absolutely fascinating, and you are such a brave woman, I just wished I had the pleasure to have met you years ago.

With all of my good wishes,

Yours sincerely,”

Jean Grieves, Conference Chairman, British Society of Baking

“Vera’s wit and insight into everyday human life experience translates into personal acceptance and freedom. Her wisdom and no nonsense style is refreshing and pleasing to the heart. Truly she is an entertaining ‘stem-winder’.”

Rick Scruggs, CLU ChFC, Lynchburg, VIRGINIA

“Vera has been an inspiration in her moving, humorous, and dynamic presentations that I have witnessed in Chicago. She has a unique ability to strip away the unessential elements and focus on the core needs of developing a fulfilling process for both client and advisor. = She positively helped me get to the next level in my practice and her insight has always been beneficial to me.”

Scott R. Lebin, RFC, FEBS, President, Managed Economics for Doctors, Inc., CHICAGO

“Vera’s soft presentation style is so powerful. Her unique ’story telling’ style of communication had me laughing one minute, and put tears into my eyes the next. Her emphasis on listening has helped me change my communication style. An hour with Vera is an investment everyone should make.

Vera, in your discussion on grieving your ‘clarity recall’ was an eye opener for me. I have learned from you not to take or diminish the real grief or feeling of the person to whom I am speaking, thus keeping the focus on the person I am with, staying in their moment and not mine.”

Rick Reinbold, MILWAUKEE

“Thank you for all you go through to be with us in Chicago. Over the years we have had some wonderful people speak to our group but you are the only one ever given a standing ovation… and just this morning I jotted down a “Veraism”, a reminder to myself that “I can have mediocrity cheap, it’s free”.

Best regards and love,”

Duke Grkovic, CHICAGO
