This review is just for the Chili Bowl fundraiser at the Pottery Lab. This is the 10 th anniversary…read moreevent and it has evolved into a very enjoyable event. As a neighbor, the starting years were very problematic with trash, noise, and disorganization. The chili contestants ave improved their quality and serving ability. There are different contestants from the earlier years. There are many styles, red and green chili, meat, vegetarian and vegan.They really have Boulder covered. There are adequate tables and chairs and especially convenient trash bins. The number and size of the bowls has improved. Now that Groundwork's is in charge, there is more than just pottery to buy in the craft sales as they teach other arts at other locations. The staffing is plentiful and staff easily identified by quality shirts. I tried chili from several options though I could not use all five tickets that come with the bowl as I need to have yet another meal today. I chose from restaurants where I have eaten , a catering service I have used and The Academy Senior Living which happens to be in the same neighborhood with a really good chef who used to cook at a now closed by retirement, restaurant where we ate regularly. I didn't want to do more than that number and decided familiar places gave me a judge of general capability on a dish I rarely order out. My ranking first in overall flavor, appearance and ingredients goes to the Post which surprised me as I rarely chicken chili anywhere and I do not like beer at all. But the ingredients here really came together, chicken, beans, corn, topped with cotija, cilantro, lime . My second goes to The West End Tavern which was excellent with brisket and a bbq sauce style, cheese on top. Good, but more expected and brisket good quality and tender. Third ranked is the Academy for sheer inventiveness that really came together. Pineapple was a treat to find to sweeten and spark and the crunch of the toasted corn nuts added a lot. At a $25 price for a bowl to keep and support programs here, it's well worth another year to participate again.

Very bad experience at this place. I usually don't use a person's name in a review, but in this…read morecase will do so in order to provide the full story. I took a beginners' pottery class taught by Jinna Lincoln, and an assistant. These are the facts of the experience: At the start of the first session Jinna said that she didn't really want to be teaching the class, she would rather be using the time to create her own pottery, but management kept asking her to teach the class, so she agreed. At the beginning of each of these beginners' sessions, Jinna would provide a brief bit of instruction. Then she would go to a table and spend the rest of each class making her own pottery pieces. Every so often she would hold up one of these pieces, which were lumpy objects that she said were meant to hold things like taco fixings, and she would say to the class, look what I made. And all of the students were supposed to ooh and aah. Jinna never walked around during the sessions to provide assistance to the students. The assistant did walk around to provide assistance. However. She was angrily impatient, shockingly impatient, when a beginner didn't know how to do something perfectly on the very first try. The assistant seemed to seethe with fury, spewing angry words through clenched teeth. Even better, she would grab tools out of students' hands, in order to do a technique herself rather than explain and teach it to the student. In the space of five minutes, she grabbed tools out of my hand at least eight times, making very unwelcome and unwanted physical contact each and every time. This description might sound like an exaggeration, but it isn't. I've been to college, graduate school, and boot camp, and in all that time I've never had an instructor as angrily impatient as this assistant. Nowhere near. I am about the furthest thing from a snowflake that a person can get, yet I was still shocked by her behavior. And what did Jinna do about this abuse? She sat there in the small room making her lumpy objects, listening to the assistant being astonishingly inappropriate with students, but didn't say one single thing. This went on class after class after class. My terrible experience with the assistant happened the first class. After that I avoided any interaction with the assistant. And Jinna provided no instruction (after the bit at the beginning of each session) or assistance. So for the remaining sessions I received essentially no instruction. I kept my head down class after class, doing my best to learn something on my own. When the class was finally over, the last of the sessions completed, I was very glad. In all my years of education, never before had I had an experience like this one.

We used Stefanie with Wayforward with my daughter to help with the overwhelming college application…read moreprocess. My daughter had a pretty long list of applicable schools and Stefanie help to focus on the ones she had a good / great chance of getting in. More importantly, Stefanie was able to work with her in ways that parents were not. Kids seem reluctant to share their essays with their parents or don't except any criticism very well. Instead, Stefanie was able to help get my daughter focused on what mattered. And results do matter. My daughter got into three of the top five public universities, so that worked out pretty well! We couldn't be happier with the services from Wayforward and highly recommend them!

Working with Sarah at Kleriti Business Solutions is worth every penny! In my opinion, EVERYONE should have a business coach (alongside a life coach, therapist, etc. etc.) to improve not only their business processes for efficiency, but to help get outside their own head. I can't tell you how many times I've rambled on to Sarah in our biweekly video conferences and she's quickly identified the root issue and been able to offer a different perspective for me to have those quintessential 'Aha' moments. I've greatly appreciated her insights and already put to good use her recommendations (like reading Traction by Gino Wickman, which almost instantaneously put my CEO and I on the same page). Looking forward to working with her long-term and would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for some clarity in their business!

I was surprised that a kid with a blingy, lacy, frilly nature (haha, nature) would be interested in spending eight nights in a tent. She came home complaining about everything. BUT a month later, after a particularly grueling day at school, she said, "mom, I want to be out in the wilderness again." And she went again the next summer. The leaders and staff at TWWI have a genuine love of the outdoors, an uncanny sense of how to involve young women and their collective experience is unmatched. My daughter still keeps up with her fellow backpackers two years later. Definitely look into this for your daughter (or yourself). There are a lot of programs for grown-up girls too, which are on my bucket list!
