  • “Vicki was generous in accommodating our invitation to be part of our lined up speakers for our 45th Annual Conference in PACERS (Philippine Association for Counselor Education, Research and Supervision) which was held virtually and attended by professionals and colleagues in the helping profession from all over the Philippines and some who were outside the country. Her presentation on Engagement on the PERMA model was succinct and practical covering personal, school, and work areas that participants truly appreciated and found inspiring and practical. Her passion for sharing her expertise and knowledge in Positive Psychology radiated from her presentation and dedication to help others thrive in the field as well.”
