Taking a systems view to complex organization problems (without going to crazy).

Lots of hands-on exercises that help you see and depict a very complex organizational situation in systematic metaphors.

Three days to explore how YOU can learn to become a better coach.

A great mix of theory and practice. Exercises use each attendee’s issues and contest, leading to real-life changes and actions which are easily begun.

Great material, superb instructors, inspiring and most of all helpful!!

Great tips on problem visualization techniques.

Superb facilitation.

* So many tools to use!
* Ways to influence/work with people
* Not about Agile or Scrum 🙂

It’s great if you’re feeling like you’re stuck. The class gives you some tools to look at a problem in different ways that lead to new insights and a confidence that there are things you can do to be useful.

The workshop offers a framework and process to assist with effecting change – in small groups, one-on-one, and at an organizational level – in an experiential and thought provoking way.

Process of learning how to engage problems in a way consistent with your values and shift your organization positively.

Concepts and tools for working with the rest of the organization.

Mentally challenging, a lot of great material organized very well.

It helped me better understand the system I work in, and gave me a plethora of tools I can bring back to my organization to make improvements in the system.

It was such an intimate setting and a great collaborative learning experience.

If you have a chance to participate in Esther and Don’s workshops, do not hesitate and go for it. The style of learning throughout the workshop was amazing with its simplicity yet undoubtedly difficult to establish in such short period of time that two days gives us. The setup of the physical space not as much as the emotional comfort that their approach just emitted on its own. They have set up the emotional space for us to be as open as possible and vulnerable yet at the same time have the feeling of safety. I have not experienced that style of knowledge sharing/exchange in a long time. So much information was shared and exchanged without the feeling of material heavy session. It was all done through carefully thought out exercises that almost seemed to mask that this was learning and it didn’t feel like a torrent of data poured on my head, even that it was 😉 

Super valuable if you want to understand and influence the organization you work in!
