"I have been in the financial services business for twenty-five years. Over the course of those twenty-five years I have hosted countless seminars, but never have I seen every audience member so captivated by a speaker. Not even with the distracting ocean views behind them, did I once see a listener turn to gaze out aimlessly at the scenery. Beginning with an interesting anecdote about a tiger that refused to “think outside the box,” Dr. Ahern quickly seized the attention of the room and held it throughout her speech. The confidence that exuded from herself and her research led the audience to soak in every word. Not only was her speech inspirational, but it was also funny at times, which helped keep people engaged and intently listening. Her thirty-minute talk seemed over all too quickly and shortly after the applause settled down I had already been asked by the lady sitting next to me when the next seminar was going to be."

"Dr. Ahern's presentation inspired me into self reflection, and numerous others at her talk felt the same. Her work not only provides motivation to take a closer look at how we live our lives, but it offers specific, understandable processes for creating change. The four steps of Dr. Ahern's Snap Out Of It Now! program are straightforward and profoundly effective. Dr. Ahern's method makes self healing and self-growth manageable and doable."
Paul W. Randolph, Psy.D., CEAP, Clinical/Organizational Psychologist,
Director, Scripps Employee Assistance Program
“Terrific! Dr. Ahern imparts the importance of compassionately, patiently, but firmly bringing our patterns to awareness. Adrianne reminds us that our thoughts are embedded in our physiology!”

"Adrianne, I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your book. I had the opportunity to read it during my recuperation and found it very thought provoking, yet tangible in its ideas. It inspired conversations with my "fiance" (not official yet), and he read it too. We both found it very valuable and actually quite simple to enact in our everyday lives. You give a whole new meaning to the words, "take a deep breath" which are tangible and effective. I find myself teaching others your technique and it quickly deescalates the stress and focuses one on resolution with a clear mind. When I communicate something to Thomas that triggers him to want to react back…he smiles at me and repeats the words quietly to himself... "decondition, decondition"…then we smile at each other and communicate effectively. Thank you Adrianne and congratulations on your success."
Valerie V. Walsh, RN, BSN, Administrative Director, Inpatient Services

"Thank you so much for your inspiring presentation recently. I have enjoyed reading Snap Out Of It Now! Your book offers such a healthy perspective on achieving goals. Your presentation offered concrete examples of why we get stalled, and strategies for success. Many of the attendees at your recent speaking engagement have expressed their appreciation for the value you have brought into their life by creating a new approach to reaching their goals. Thanks so much for the books and the gift of your presence as we celebrated Nurses Week."
Jan Zachry RN, MBA, Vice President/CNE, Scripps Memorial Encinitas Hospital
“Dr. Ahern's personal experience as an athlete and her clinical psychology background help her gain a very credible relationship with her audience. She presented a broad array of cutting edge tools that she uses to help her clients (athletes to CEOs and everyone in between) get the most out of their performances. It's clear that she has the skills and enthusiasm to inspire the best out of her clients.”
