Rita has made an innovative integration of NLP with several other methods that is both powerful and simple to use. I have personally witnessed her success as a parent as expressed by the health and intelligence of her daughters. Rita’s book, talks, training, articles and TV presence are changing, step by step, the educational paradigm. I truly believe she deserves this nomination by everything (awareness, inclusion, equal dignity) she is bringing to our society, and her humility and compassion to lead change in this field.
