  • “Vicki was generous in accommodating our invitation to be part of our lined up speakers for our 45th Annual Conference in PACERS (Philippine Association for Counselor Education, Research and Supervision) which was held virtually and attended by professionals and colleagues in the helping profession from all over the Philippines and some who were outside the country. Her presentation on Engagement on the PERMA model was succinct and practical covering personal, school, and work areas that participants truly appreciated and found inspiring and practical. Her passion for sharing her expertise and knowledge in Positive Psychology radiated from her presentation and dedication to help others thrive in the field as well.”

  • “Vicki gave a very informative and engaging webinar on how to flourish and attain greater wellbeing at work through the use of various scientifically-based Positive Psychology strategies. More than 400 participants attended, which was organized by the Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP)- Special Interest Group (SIG) in Positive Psychology. The encouraging and inspiring feedback provided by the participants only showed how much they appreciated the talk. Personally, I was touched when she shared her personal journey on how she got into Positive Psychology. We hope to invite her again in our future events.”

  • “I invited Vicki to a webinar conducted by Postgraduate School of Airlangga University, one of the best universities in Indonesia, to discuss positive psychology and its practical use in personal and organizational contexts. The webinar was attended by 363 postgraduate students and alumni. I was very happy as the webinar turned to be a big success as participants provided very positive feedback on Vicki's explanation about Positive Psychology with practical examples and easy to grasp language. Knowing her expertise, we are eager to invite Vicki to another session on positive psychology!”
