  • "Has it ever happened where you can hear the same message all your life, but it never really sinks in UNTIL someone says it in exactly the way you need to hear it? That's how Anitra's comments landed for me. She brought up so many great ideas in our conversation that I'm going to be chewing on for a while."

    — Matt Jenson, Author

  • "The Abookadabra - Magic of Handselling panel at Heartland Fall Forum with Anitra Budd was a dynamic, informative, and inspiring session. Anitra herself is energetic and knowledgeable. Her easy confidence and good humor create a positive environment from the very start. She listens to participants closely and makes connections between different questions and suggestions that move the discussion forward and create new knowledge. Anitra's slides were very well crafted -- informative without being cluttered, clearly organized, and amusing too! For me, the best thing about Anitra's presentation was that it helped me connect the wealth of skill and knowledge I possess about this topic but often overlook. This was the inspiring part. Half the notes I took were things I want to remember and reinforce about my own practice or skills my coworkers have that I want to lift up for the whole staff. A terrific learning experience!"
