Skills & Professional Growth

How the training enhanced their abilities and confidence

It impacted everything I do by teaching me the value of listening, validating, and questioning effectively.
— CCC Graduate
As a physical therapist the training improved my ability to understand where a family caregiver is in their journey which has allowed me to be more effective in providing support and education.
— CCC Graduate, Physical Therapist
It's exactly what I needed to feel 'well rounded' with my coaching. I have been caregiving for over 15 years yet being on this side of it I felt inadequate and now I'm more comfortable with what I know has value.
— CCC Graduate
The training sparked a lot of creativity in creating products and services for those that I serve.
— CCC Graduate
I appreciated the requirements for Zoom meetings, Facebook lives, etc as it stretched me out of my comfort zone.

Recommendations for business development ideas were very helpful.

Personal Transformation

The deeper impact on how they understand and support caregivers

My very special CCC training was a heart and spirit experience, as well as skills training. I am very glad I did the CCC training, and I look forward to carrying it forward through my work and personal interactions.
— CCC Graduate
It has brought a deeper level of empathy and understanding of the caregiver role.
— CCC Graduate
CCC training organized many caregiving insights in a way I could better express my lived experiences to support other caregivers, and to help providers and the public have an idea of what caregiving is.
— CCC Graduate
Being a CCC makes me part of a community where I continue to learn and grow.
— CCC Graduate
(Supporting family caregivers through difficult times) is especially important. I've shared what I learned with other distressed family caregivers.
— CCC Graduate
I use (the skills I learned) daily for personal and professional reasons. I've been studying this model (of the six caregiving stages) since 2016 and recently had the opportunity to share this content internationally!

Denise & Program Excellence

Recognition of the quality training and leadership

Denise was fabulous. She is such an example of what she teaches – calm, listening, asking great questions, validating emotions and experiences. Wonderful!
— CCC Graduate
From a training perspective, it is obvious how passionate Denise is when sharing her experiences and work over the years, as well as ensuring others have a positive experience (from the module videos). Denise cleverly outlined the six stages of caregiving in a practical manner that supports the caregiving dyad. The stages are the pathway to encourage reflection and counsel as the journey is experienced by the caregiver and those they care for. Professionally, this training and tools will be leveraged to enhance my current practices.
— CCC Graduate
This program will greatly benefit the organization I am creating to support the holistic health and wellbeing of family caregivers. Denise provides amazing instruction and support and I am so grateful for all of the tools and resources I've gained through being in the CCC program.
— CCC Graduate
The interactive components, the worksheets, and just the delivery of the program are fantastic! The course requires thought and reflection during the modules but also afterward.
