  The warmth and sincere concerns from this professor are real and are genuinely appreciated by her students. Far more than communications classes, hers are truly self-improvement workshops. I call Dr. Gilda 'Mother Teresa with lipstick and The Wall Street Journal.'

Dear Dr. Gilda,
I just read your advice to "Divorced with Children" on MSN.com's Dating & Personals Page. You told the woman to be assertive with her new man who wants her to separate from her ex's family. You said that because of her kids' bond with them, these people are hers for life. I want to say, "Ada Girl!" to you. I only wish I had read this years ago when I was in a relationship where the man wanted me to reject MY WHOLE FAMILY, INCLUDING MY DAUGHTER. I was very weak, and I agonized over the issue for several years before we parted ways. I was very much in love, and too blind to see that his control was abuse, not caring. Life would have taken on a much more powerful edge if I had the insight then that you gave this woman now. My only hope is that she takes your advice. Life is too short, and there are other men out there. I believe it's better to be alone than to be with the wrong man.

Please feel free to use my words on your web site if they will help even one other woman. As I said, I wish I had had your words to guide me and wake me up years ago. You're a wonderful friend to us ladies. Please keep reminding us of our strength and purpose. I do believe that women ARE the backbone of our society, and all of us (including men) can benefit from letting us be our worthy selves.

Take good care. I will stay tuned to your advice on your web site. Thanks for being there for us.

Yours in Peace,

Hello Dr. Gilda,
Wow, there is actually someone to answer these things, and it was very fast. Thank you for reading my Personal E-Mail Dialogue “story,” and for responding with such valid points. This is a great service, and I'll be registering for another round in the future!

  Dr. Gilda is not only bright, articulate and passionate, but she is also very empathetic. I watched her literally drink in everyone’s story–no mean feat–especially given the time constraints. She was personally responsive to each and every one of us. The results were amazing!

She blows into a room and is larger than life. We were soon realizing that our lives could be as large as we wanted them to be, to fit our expanded boundaries. She empowered us to believe that not only could we achieve our dreams, but that we deserved to! Dr. Gilda obviously loves what she does, and deserves the highest praise and thanks for sharing her gift with us.

Joyfully,
- Lily Bornstein
   
  Hi Dr. Gilda,
As I left class last night, I could not help but wonder if our course was just a dream. It went so fast. In this short time, I feel like we are family. I know so much about you, and you know a lot about me. People talk about you in comparison to Mother Teresa, and I definitely agree. You are a stranger who came into my life for a month, yet you have given me more love and awareness for myself than most people I have known during my whole life. Honey, your mission to change the world is surely working! I busted my butt for many years to change things like racism in the church, drugs and violent abuse, low self-esteem, and other problems of poor people. I suffered for crimes committed by poor Blacks and Hispanics. And I spent most of my life trying to prove that there are good minorities.

Now, with your help, I am able to move on. This was the reason I became so emotional at the end of my final presentation last night. Thank you for giving me the tools to discover ME and to learn how to sell myself. I am definitely ready to present my 30-second "commercial" to anyone I meet in the future.

This is only the beginning. I have a deeper understanding of what it takes to be a manager and what the real power of communication is. After all these years, finally, I have become a Capital "I".

Dr. Gilda, I am going to miss seeing you in class next week. I love you for showing me how to love me.

Thanks Angel Dr. Gilda,
- Frederick D. Fulford Jr.
   
 

Dear Dr. Gilda,
I am honored and blessed to know you, Dr. Gilda. It's incredible how, in just a couple of hours and with your great book, one can see a more complete photo of oneself.

Thanks!

Dear Dr. Gilda,
Thank you for my Personal Phone Dialogue. WOW, you saw things that I could not and did not, and yet you do not even know my girlfriend! But you were so on target! I can't thank you enough.

Dear Dr. Gilda,
I wanted to tell you how honored I am in having met you. You are a great person and I hope we cross paths again in life. Thank you so much for all your support and for the knowledge you instilled in me in such a short period of time. I feel like I can help others in my life now. GOD BLESS YOU.

Thanks again,

Dear Dr. Gilda,
Thank you for writing the recommendation that will surely impress a law school admissions board. It means a great deal that you have so much confidence in my ability. Your words depict a woman who is an anomaly in the academic arena. I consistently put your insight to practice to exude confidence in this harsh world.

One Gilda-Gram that resonates with me daily and helps me through tough times is: No decision should be made out of weakness; make all decisions out of strength. This mantra is the foundation for my journey. Thank you, Dr. Gilda, for your recommendation, and especially for your wisdom.

Forever your apprentice,
- Michael Marquis
