Words of Appreciation
The quotes below were provided by Girl Scouts staff and troop leaders after participating in Girl Scout workshop led by Annie Fox.
“Watching girls experience your workshop and come out of it more confident and self-assured has been amazing.”
—Gabi Reyes-Acosta, Former Program Manager, Lead
Girl Scouts of Northern California, CA
“Annie Fox’s fun, interactive teaching style makes her workshops for girls of all ages accessible and educational. Whether speaking to a roomful of high school teenagers or middle school girls, Annie’s communication style reflects her real connection to youth and passion for providing them with tools to create change in their own lives. Annie’s workshops touched off a chain reaction throughout our council of parents saying, ‘We need that!’ and her trainings deliver the goods. I recommend Annie Fox’s communication and friendship workshops for girls of all ages.”
—Terri Hague, Former Senior Program Director
Girl Scouts of San Francisco Bay Area, CA
“Such a good time to have a class like this. I loved having something I could do with my daughter that we could keep talking about. Great experience!”
—Girl Scout Troop Leader, Alameda, CA
“Annie’s workshop was great. I really liked the girls learning from an adult other than us troop leaders (and moms) and learning from each other.”
—Girl Scout Troop Leader, San Jose, CA
“I want to see an Annie Fox badge!”
—Girl Scout Troop Leader, San Francisco
“Annie’s Friendship Workshop was packed with very powerful concepts and terminology. The most helpful thing I learned was to help my daughter and the other girls stand up for themselves and each other… to know that boundaries are healthy and okay.”
—Girl Scout Troop Leader, Santa Rosa, CA
“I feel more confident helping my daughter brainstorm her own solutions and how to engage my daughter in open conversation without lecturing.”
—Girl Scout Troop Leader, Piedmont, CA
“I loved how Annie taught the girls to stop and breathe and ask themselves, ‘Is it helpful or not helpful?’”
—Girl Scout Troop Leader, Livermore, CA
“Annie’s workshop was extremely well received by my 3rd grade Brownie Troop. The girls heard not only that they deserve to be treated with respect, but that they need to be a friend who respects others, as well. I think you can see a difference in the girls post workshop. It seems like they like themselves more—I don’t know how else to describe it. You provided some very powerful tools + insight to the girls. The parents also appreciate it! I have heard from a lot of parents saying, ‘I sure had a big talk with my daughter that night—it gave us some great things to talk about!’
“Since Annie’s examples were of relevant situations the girls could relate to, the learning was all the more meaningful. As a troop leader, it was great to have all the girls equipped with the skills to have healthy friendships. As a parent, it was exciting for me to see my daughter empowered with such a positive message about her own self worth. Thanks, again!”
—Mary Gagliardi, Girl Scout Troop Leader, Oakland, CA
“Annie’s Real Friends vs. the Other Kind workshop was amazing! The information was so pertinent to our 5th grade girls who are transitioning to middle school. She was able to capture the minds of thirty-three girls, and keep their attention the whole time. I’m certain that each participant came away from the afternoon with tools to help solve any problems in their friendships and a better understanding of what makes them a good friend. I know the moms who attended learned just as much and were so appreciative of the Annie’s presentation.
“We loved it Annie! I got nothing but great feedback. Thanks again.”
—Erica Bachman, Girl Scout Troop Leader, Piedmont, CA
“The girls got an awful lot from what you presented. Last meeting [they] reiterated so many
of your points it was like they were presenting your material in full. They were very impressed with one exercise
on how to determine if your friend is really a true friend. In each case, scouts saw friends for who they really
were. Also, the... exercise on defining true qualities of a friend was very effective on the scouts. They remembered
the new terms they learned... and were able to teach others.
“Thank you again,”
—Tamara Duffey, Girl Scout Troop Leader, Oakland, CA
