Evan came to us highly recommended from the University of Maine as the ‘top teaching candidate' to graduate from the program. 

Griff Smith Retired Principal, Aspen Middle School

Now 25 [years old], I am still passionate to learn about myself, others and our environment as a direct result of Evan's encouragement to explore both the physical and intellectual world around us. Through the work ethic that Evan helped instill on me at a young age, I have been successful as an Olympic ski racer. I am honored to have had Evan as a great mentor at a young age, but I am more grateful for the fact that he will always be a close friend.

Evan has an amazing ability to connect with people of all ages, making learning enjoyable and memorable. He is understanding, patient and listens when it comes to the needs and personalities of each individual student.

Evan was one of my favorite teachers in the Aspen School District. I appreciate his holistic approach to the learning process, including his focus on academic learning as well as personal growth.

Given [Evan's] knowledge and expertise, as well as his extensive experience, I rate Mr. Zislis as one of the strongest candidates to pursue a teaching position that I have seen in 25 years.

Every person in my family is developing a greater sense of ownership of their lives and their relationships with others. Working with Intentional Solutions has led to a big step forward. I highly recommend Intentional Solutions' Negotiations method.

What Evan is designing is exactly what we have been talking about for years. Evan helped us turn our ideas into a curriculum we can teach. His heartfelt approach and his instincts for instruction are spot on.

Evan is a pleasure to work with. After seeing him in action, I highly recommend him for his work in curriculum development and as an instructor for both kids and adults.
