What People are saying...

I attended your seminar. God really used you in my prayers for wisdom on the changes I see in my young adult son when he is immersed in his screen. After your presentation, he agreed to completely step away so we could assess before and after behaviors.  Thanks so much for all of the research, time and awareness on this." --Taylor P. 
Jolene Erlacher brings a unique perspective to the discussion of generational characteristics. She approaches each generation as a missionary approaches a new culture. This lead to practical applications for how to communicate better and work together more effectively. Our church leaders were very challenged and inspired by our time with Jolene."
