Quotes from participants:
"I came to the Speaker’s Practicum as a seasoned pastor of 10 years, yet I still felt insecure when presenting in a pulpit. The dreams God had given me could never be realized if I continued in those insecurities. My goal was to go to this practicum and get help! Through the presentation critique times and my individual time with Alicia I have realized that my insecurities were unfounded. Because of my time at Rivendell there has been a paradigm shift in my ministry. I will never be the same."
"The Lord confirmed again His calling and purpose for me….The materials shared provided me with tools I will need in moving forward. I feel as though I walked away with a box full of new tools! This was a very spiritual experience for me. As such, there were a number of personal validations and confirmations the Spirit spoke into the deep places of my soul - truly an experience I will never forget and will ever be grateful for having had the opportunity to attend."
"When I first paid to come I was thinking about the amount, but when I left I was thinking that no amount of money could compare to what God did for me. It was amazing to see the transformation from our first messages to the second ones! It was a tangible measurement to how helpful the feedback was. Most of all I left a big piece of my pride there and that is something that I have been struggling with. Through Alicia, and the other women there I truly have become much purer in my heart with giving out the gift that God has given me."
"I have just have had a hard time putting inot words how much the Lii experience meant to me. I will be forever grateful to the fruitful time that I spent with Alicia. She had a small window into our lives and did not waste even a second of our time. The knowledge, wisdom, and just being around her presence has changed me for the better."

Please note: Because the Lii Speaking Practicums are designed for women in leadership, a pastoral AND character reference is a must. These individuals should be souls familiar with your guts even more than your gifts.
