It is very practical – not much theory. Low tempo with time for reflection (a good thing). It actually about coaching in the team and outside the team.

It provides both insights and specific tools for making effective change – within an organization as well as within one’s self.

Learn a process framework for analyzing a problem, the players, and the factors that describe the context. Then you can consider how you might experiment with adjusting the system after you understand it.

No powerpoint. Just engagement and collaboration.

Energizing, safe environment.  You can work with 13 separate partners in 2 days.

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

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 😉 

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.

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.

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

Coaching Beyond the Team was amazing! Esther and Don gave real experiences and tools that are immediately relevant and valuable.

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.

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

The workshop will introduce a bunch of useful tools when you are in the position of implementing a change in an org.

The best workshop on interpersonal relations you’ll attend.

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