Gail C.
There were a number of things that made this conference stand out. This event was not a cookie-cutter conference. We were free to give our full attention to each presentation and carry away ideas, inspiration, and highly useful and personal information. The presenters often brought stories of their own lives into the room which was captivating and applicable to the topic at hand. Strong community was built as we were able to relate to those stories and share some of our own. At various times we all expressed what our best hopes were for the conference. Mine was always β€œa sense of community.” This conference did not disappoint in any way. The people, the place, the information, the encouragement all knit together a strong community, a group of like-minded people ready to support and encourage each other. This is the once-a-year conference I will not miss!
Deborah T.
This was such a great conference from the very start that I wanted to know how I could sign up for the next conference within the first few hours!
I have been to hundreds of conferences, but Elliott’s stands out for a lot of reasons:
-- the warm, loving, and generous community he’s created
-- cutting-edge content and expert faculty
-- abundant opportunities for practice and feedback
-- opportunities to dive deep into key issues
-- caring and gracious staff who made sure everything went super smoothly
A β€˜don’t miss’ event if you care anything about doing great therapy/ coaching, and being both effective and efficient.
Lisa S.
I have never been to a conference quite like this one! Wow! Talk about a therapist’s dream. A small and intimate event that cultivated connection and authentic moments to share our love of the craft and the sacred work we do. Well thought out sessions, food, and overall conference details. Extremely affordable for the content, meals, networking, and professional growth!
Brian L.
As a first time attender I was welcomed into an international community of passionate and effective therapists committed to both competency and community. From around the world I was stimulated towards personal and professional growth through not only the teaching seminars but the conversations and connections made around meal tables and in casual conversation. SFU was a holistic experience of information and inspiration.
Valerie W.
The SFU Conference was like no other that I have ever experienced. I felt like it was more of a family reunion as I was able to connect to people I have met through the online coaching and practice sessions. Elliot makes the conference fun as well as highly informative and innovative.
I am always impressed with the level of expertise within this community but not just with their clinical skills. I am more impressed with the level of humility and love that they bring to the clients with whom they work. Being at the conference and hearing how the presenters help those who have been marginalized and written off is what gives me the motivation to making a difference where I live.
Thank you Elliott and thank you for the remarkable team who helped put the conference together. You are the best!
Jan P.
The relationships I have built, in the short time we have been together at the two previous conferences, are amazing. Elliott has managed to design conferences that accomplish what he set out to do... foster community. I made new friends and reconnected with old friends and I am delighted with that. I'll be coming again next year.
Christopher C.
The time spent was fantastic. What a pleasure it was to be learning from the solution focused masters in our field. I definitely came back to my practice with a wealth of knowledge and fresh set of solution focused ideas and skills that I can use with my clients.
Marsha S.
MAGIC is the first word to come to mind when I describe my inspirational and educational experience with Elliot Connie. The pre-conference was worth the price of admission. Although Elliot's knowledge is apparent in all that he teaches, it is his ability to wake up our hearts that will stay with me for life. His inspirational focus with a superb sense of humor lead me to tears and laughter and often at the same time. Adam Froerer was another highlight of the conference, explaining research on Solution Focused Therapy in a usable and understandable way. I really enjoyed and learned during Adam and Elliot's interactive presentation on the last day of the conference. It is important to note that Adam and Elliot often demonstrated the light side of Solution Focused Therapy by taking it seriously but added much wit and laughter that amused us all.Β 
Julie S.
I've had time to reflect on the experience and what it means to me. You all did an incredible amount of work to bring together such a rich experience. Conference planning and execution is a major undertaking and you did so with great success. So - THANK YOU!
In addition to the deeply valuable education and learning at this conference, what I took away was a deepened sense of community and family. My prior connection had been through the cyber world, and while I've felt that this SFU group is my tribe, the personal interactions at the conference further solidified this. Our ability to see the vulnerabilities and differences in one another yet sit in acceptance and support is a true testament to the heart of this group. This is HARD work. We have a great responsibility when we sit with clients who may be in their darkest moments, and to know that this SFU family sits right there along with us is the most important gift we bring to each other.
For any of you considering coming next year, don't hesitate to do so - you will not regret one moment and I would bet that you will come away feeling just as enriched by the experience as I having attended this year's conference.
