Three words to describe my experience working with Acey Holmes to organize a meeting? Friendly, focused, and flexible. Acey was responsive and able to adapt her content and material to a diverse audience of stake holders in a unique meeting setting. She delivered a presentation that was enjoyed by all.

Acey was wonderful to work with – she was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate and work with. Our attendees absolutely loved her session, “The Power of Play for Adults.” They particularly loved how interactive the session was, and how it was a great way to break up a long day of conference sessions.

The antithesis of lecture workshops. Interactive, informative, digestible content. I also appreciate how accepting of individuality Acey is.

Acey is a phenomenal speaker who combines technical science with adult learning theory to bring self awareness. I loved it.

Her presentation was engaging, lively and dare I say it - FUN!

I really appreciated how this was not centered only on neurotypical brains. I tend to be very resistant to PD sessions about burnout and stress because neurodivergent people like myself are usually not considered in those conversations. This session was really affirming because flow and play reminded me a lot of my hyperfocus states (adhd brain) and it was affirming to see that as a strength and skill vs a hindrance or distraction. Thank you for that AND for having sensory toys, fidgets at the table - I felt like I could unmask when usually I’m heavily masking during those types of sessions. Thank you!!!
