Comments from attendees at Dr. Sax’s
presentations
“Dr. Sax’s presentation catalysed something very difficult to attain: behavioral change. He brought the key points home with power. I was gladdened and
heartened to see a standing-room-only crowd, riveted, spellbound. His message resonates.”
Dr. Patricia Shanley, Princeton Common
Ground, Princeton, New Jersey
“Everybody at Merchiston
commented favourably on Dr. Sax’s sessions yesterday. He is impressive and knowledgeable across so
many fields. Every assertion was backed
up with evidence. We would love to have him back at Merchiston for seven to ten
days. I learned a huge amount and so did
everybody else. Of all the presentations we have had in my years at Merchiston,
Dr. Sax’s was by far and away the most impressive.”
Andrew Hunter,
Headmaster, Merchiston Castle School, Edinburgh, Scotland
“Dear Dr. Sax, Your presentation presented a series
of clearly articulated claims supported by findings from the most significant
scholarly research in the field. It’s quite a feat to digest and synthesize
major research studies in ways that appeal to a broad audience. I liked how you
described key findings in clear, everyday language. Your presentation
effectively bridged the gap between theory and practice. At its core, I heard a
positive message about the capacity of moms and dads to make a meaningful,
lasting impact on their children’s lives.”
Dr. Dave Ostroff, Head of Upper School, Emery/Weiner School, Houston, Texas

“Dear Dr. Sax, I just want to let you know how much I enjoyed your
presentation last night at Princeton Day School. When I realized it was 9:30, I
was in shock as it seemed like only five minutes had passed. I could have
listened for hours! Unfortunately my wife was not able
to attend last night. Will you be doing this presentation again anytime soon? I
have been attempting to relay all of the information you presented but it’s
much more powerful hearing it live.”
Jeff Dorfman, parent, New Jersey
“What an
impressive evening! We have never before
been to an event where 600 folks sat, spellbound for two and a half hours,
laughing every 3 minutes and uttering ‘Wow’ every 5.”
Steven
Masters, Saltus School, Hamilton, Bermuda
“Dr. Sax gave a fabulous presentation to our
parents last evening. Awesome. This was
the biggest crowd we’ve ever been able to attract for a speaker, and Dr. Sax
graciously stayed well beyond his contracted time to accommodate all
questions. His insights, all thoroughly
supported by research, were at times mind-blowing, and his sense of humor just added to a totally enjoyable night.”
Linda D’Orlando, West Windsor – Plainsboro Public
Schools, New Jersey
“Wonderful presentations. . . the parents and
staff were overwhelmingly enthusiastic.”
Chris Jenkins, Principal, Korowa Anglican Girls’ School, Melbourne, Australia
“Of all the sessions I attended, Dr. Sax’s was the only one which gave
me concrete information I could use in the classroom.”
Daren Starnes, Chair, Department of Mathematics,
Lawrenceville Academy, New Jersey
“Dr. Sax’s presentation was wonderful beyond words.
We were blown away by the material, which was presented in a clear,
sophisticated and thoughtful manner. We are grateful to Dr. Sax for sharing his
immense expertise with us. Many families will benefit from the information he
imparted.”
Genevieve McCormack,
Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church, Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania
“Dr. Sax is a godsend. His work has given us insight on
organizational design, staff and teachers’ instructional development, and ways
to transform our students and curriculum.”
Roynell Young, founder and CEO, Pro-Vision Charter
School, Houston, Texas
“Dr. Sax is the Al Gore of the gender crisis. He has EDUCATED us about the nature and scope
of the problem. He has WARNED us about
the consequences of doing nothing. And
he has INSPIRED us to take action in our schools and in our communities.”
Michael Halfin, Huron
Heights Secondary School, Newmarket, Ontario
“I have been providing professional
development programs for educators in St. Louis for nine years and no one comes
close to Dr. Sax in style or content. I
can’t tell you how informative Dr. Sax’s session was for me. I hope I will have the opportunity to listen
to Dr. Sax again.”
Genie Newport,
Director, Independent Schools of St. Louis
“Dr. Sax’s presentation was one of the best and most informative I have
ever attended. I cannot recommend him more enthusiastically. He would be
fantastic at a principals’ meeting or any other professional development event.
All I can say is WOW!”
Patricia Molloy, President, Immaculate Heart Academy (New Jersey)
“I am usually pessimistic about learning anything useful at the
workshops required by our school district.
It was a stroke of luck that I attended Dr. Sax’s session. What was so rewarding in his presentation was
that it helped me to understand why some things have worked well for me in the
classroom while others have not. I now
see the behavior of my students in a new way.”
Jonathan Lind, Sudley
Elementary School, Manassas, Virginia
“The thing I find so gratifying in listening to Dr. Sax is that he
provides evidence, hard science to support the points he’s making. That’s rare
in my experience, when speakers talk about gender.”
David Lloyd, The Webb Schools, Claremont,
California
“Dr. Sax gave a fabulous
presentation at the Niagara Principals’ conference. My colleagues are still all
aglow with what they heard and have purchased more than 200 of his books
through a local provider – I know, because I arranged the sale. We would very
much like to have him back.”
Gary King, vice principal, Lakeview Public
School, Grimsby, Ontario
“If you are on the board of any mosque or community center,
you MUST invite Dr. Sax for an all-day presentation at your mosque.”
Imam Tahir Anwar, Executive Committee of the
Islamic Society of North America
“I thoroughly
enjoyed listening to Dr. Sax. One of the most engaging speakers I’ve seen. I
can’t say enough about how much I liked and respected this presentation. It has
completely changed and reframed the way I work with clients.”
Jill Dallaire,
Director of Youth Justice Services, Durham, Ontario
