PRAISE FOR THE PROGRAMME

‘The willingness to be open and sharing transparently what was happening and needed. The diversity of methods at display or hear about through sharing from others.’ 

‘The flexibility of dealing with what's in the room; the ability to create a safe space for deep and intense conversation; the breadth of insight and approach’ 

‘I have appreciated the many check-ins and transparent discussions. 

The coaches… ‘are capable of staying tuned to "where we are" without pushing us too much to speed up the learning and digestion process.’ 

‘I found particularly effective the connections among theory, practice, and reflection afterward. I felt there was enough space to interact and express ourselves within a well-defined framework and guide.’
