• "I really enjoyed your presentation on Down syndrome. It has changed my practice. I especially remember how you demonstrated the correct way to hold an infant who has Down syndrome. I incorrectly held these babies on my hip until you showed us the proper way to protect their joints. I have referred several parents to you so they can benefit from your knowledge and experience."

• "We were very fortunate to have had Dr. Kinder present and share with our audience her inspiring story, practical information, and true honesty about the challenges and steps for physicians to transition from Clinical to Non-Clinical Careers.
  
  As the webinar organizer I found Dr. Kinder very pleasant and professional to work with; she promptly replied to emails and calls and presented required documents and the PowerPoint handouts in a timely fashion. As a participant, I was impressed by the amount of information (worksheets & assignments) she was willing to share with our audience during her webinar broadcast. I was also very impressed by the way she was able to tailor her lecture to our diverse audience, which is made up of all types of physicians, medical educators, and residents. She truly has a gift to communicate and the ability to simplify such a complex topic into an understandable and obtainable goal.
  
  Our event was a success; the audience learned the exact steps to immediately begin the process of finding an exciting and rewarding career."

• "After 15 years of clinical practice and 10 years as CMO of a health plan, I realized that I wanted to do something "new" and exciting in my career. I craved more passion and a renewed sense of fulfillment in my work but had no idea what type of work would satisfy these longings or how to chart a course of discovery. I also wondered if change and excitement were realistic goals for me as a physician in mid-late career.
  
  In October 2013, I made a last minute decision to attend the Non-Clinical Careers for Physicians course, in hopes of gaining "concrete" job ideas and to meet recruiters. While I did meet recruiters and learned a lot about non-clinical careers, the most useful and memorable aspect of the weekend course for me was the dynamic and inspiring opening session by Dr. Julia Kinder.
  
  From the moment Dr. Kinder entered the room, it was clear that she was a talented teacher with a unique and engaging presentation style! With humor and compassion, she quickly established personal and professional connections with the audience. Using great examples, many from her own life, Dr. Kinder was able to vividly convey that physicians have countless opportunities in our daily lives to connect with others, express our talents, be creative, fulfill our passions, do meaningful work and create income! Her keen insights into the physician "mindset" and wonderful sense of humor were powerful tools that engaged, challenged and encouraged each of us to expand our perspectives on career possibilities and to commit to finding passion, fulfillment and life balance.
  
  By the end of the presentation, Dr. Kinder had led the audience through a series of activities that were fun and effective in getting us to begin developing an action plan for career transition. One of the most useful activities was learning to network, which I, and most physicians, find very difficult to do. It was clear that she had performed the exercises and had applied the lessons in her own life to create an enjoyable career, and that she was genuinely happy to share the pearls of her experiences. I was inspired by Dr. Kinder to commit to using the tools to discover what would be fulfilling for me at this time in my life and to avoid the temptation of "settling" or accepting less than desirable circumstances.
  
  I am grateful that I attended the conference and the opening session! The inspiration that I gained from Dr. Kinder’s presentation motivated me to fully engage in the conference, to meet new people (network!), to learn as much as possible from the speakers and mentors and to adopt a more positive attitude as I moved toward my dream career."
