Balloon Industry References

 The following are emails from students after taking my class and Industry Leaders  in the Balloon World.   If you want to contact them personally, please contact me and I will give your their complete emails if they did not list them.  Because of all the crazies out there, I am not putting student addresses on display.  PLease see the NEWEST seminar graduates in blue below.



“It is difficult to find qualified decorators who have proven to be able to build  a successful lifelong carrier in the balloon industry and have the skills to transmit  this to others as well.
Besides being an excellent teacher Linda is an inspirational  mentor who invests way beyond the classroom by offering personal advice and guidance  to her students for years after.
Her seminars, easy understandable step by step explanations  and training methods can be recommended for anyone interested in balloon decorating  or professionals who want to grow to the next level.”
Guido Verhoef         International  Balloon Designe                      Author:  Linkoloons DVDs 1-14

NEWEST!


Hi Linda,  Too often, we climb  through life without a look back to express our connection with others  and our gratitude for their presence in our lives. I want you to know  that I noticed how much you care. You inspired and empowered me. 

I  know teachers wear many hats. Some days you might feel like a  cheerleader, a social worker, a parent or a full-time lesson planner.  Thank you for being an educator! I am thankful for you.

Learning  under you, I observed you did not just try to figure out how to get  information into my head. You care about me as a person. The class you  taught was always an environment where I was eager to express myself!  You made me feel like you cared about what I had to say and valued my  strengths and unique abilities instead of just focusing on how you could  erase my weaknesses.

Thank  you for your time, your patience, and your realness. Thank you for  encouraging me, supporting me, and caring about me. Thank you for seeing  me as a partner and daughter in this business. Thank you for inspiring  me to learn and to help others the way you have.  With gratitude,  R. Kiadii, March 2023


Linda, Thank you for sharing your talent with us. We appreciate all the hard work you put into this class these last few days. BIG HUGS! Kerry and Kat, TX March 2023

 



"Linda, I am so glad now that I took the time to investigate and then picked your class.  You do have to know who your teacher really is. With a few years of doing balloons under my belt,  I thought I knew so much.   But as you kept saying, you don't know what you don't know.... I really found I learned so much.  I only wished I came to your class in the beginning and I would not have all this equipment I really did not need.  Yes learning it the right way really will save me a bunch in the long run.  Thanks for saving me oodles of money with the dryer tip. Just that was worth the trip"   Tammy E in Texas


"Linda, Finally made it home! Thanks again for a FANTASTIC class - your patience and  willingness to teach shows through loud and clear and even as a beginner - I sat  in your class with confidence that I would learn the technique necessary for my future  in the balloon industry.

Thank you for empowering me with the knowledge and confidence to return to my home     and create not only stunning balloon decorations but also a profitable career.

 As we say in my home - Merci beaucoup!   Donna L. Hodge

Fiesta Parties & Balloon Decor, St. Martin, French West Indies


  Linda, We had a wonderful time and learned a lot more than we (Renee and I) expected.      We are fully confident that we can do this full speed.  If it wasn't for a lack of     funds and my operation on the 12th of August I would begin tomorrow.  In the mean     time I know that I have more than enough prep work to keep me busy.  I have so many     ideas in my brain my head may pop before the next balloon does. I will definitely     keep you posted as to our progress.  I thought our class was fantastic from the instructor     down to each and every student.  I thank you for everything, including sharing your     home and your dogs. I look forward to seeing you at another balloon event in the     future.  NOW GET SOME SLEEP!!!!!  . Thanks A million, June Griggs, NJ


 "I had a marvelous time in Florida and will cherish the friendships I made there  forever.  I feel very confident that I can open my business in the fall and know     what I am talking about and I am anxious to do some practice items and to get my     portfolio and brochures pulled together.  THANK YOU for all the things you taught     me and I look forward to hearing from you on a regular basis.  AND GOOD LUCK AT BALLOONIVERSITY     - I hope you dazzle them with your 'Dorothy' idea." Elaine Wagar, Canada


" Take the time to attend this class, you will have enough information and hands  on training to get you started. Linda is a wonderful instructor, I learned a wealth  of information from her, and I thought I knew a lot. (She shares her secrets of saving     money when you purchase items, some of the expensive things you find in the Glossy   catalogs can be created with items from Home Depot or Lowe's.) I personally Loved  the class!  " Teri Riely FL


"You will be amazed at what you will be able to do after completing Linda's class.      You will learn how to decorate an entire room, how to do centerpieces and balloon  bouquets, how to decorate dance floors, how to make arches, columns, canopies and  other kinds of structures.  In addition you will learn a lot about starting up and   running a balloon decorating company. You will receive many tips that will save you a lot of time and trouble and you will learn HOW to sell!

I went to Linda's class knowing nothing and now, 7 months later, am running my own business.  Go for it! Debra Shaw, NY


"Linda, I didn't get the opportunity to thank you (before leaving Tampa).  You have given me something that cannot be described in words.   I have been asked several  times since I returned...what did I learn?  I don't think any explanation I offer  will fairly explain what I've experienced.  All I know is that my life is now different. 

Thank you for going far beyond anything I could have every anticipated, expected   or even imagined!!!  You have give me the tools ( I need) to start my own business.      And the confidence to know that I will be successful because I am prepared for just  about any scenario.  Laurice Avant-Jones   


"First thing, I made it back  home safe and sound ,  I wanted to thank you for the  long days and the lack of sleep LOL (not link a loons)and  lots of laughs. Considering  I did not even know what a link a loon was before your class. Your class was worth  every penny, the way you teach is outstanding and I would recommend it to anybody  that wants to learn this fantastic art in ballooning. You make learning fun and entertaining.     I never knew the possibilities of actually what you could do with balloons, but I assure you I do now, I know you told me when I talked to you that I would be able to  make anything I wanted to after your class, I had my doubts but you where right,   you have the techniques down to a science. So in closing if you ever need anything  or need to use me as a reference it would be my pleasure. Best Regards, Butch Knight
