No powerpoint. Just engagement and collaboration.

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

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 😉 

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.

Excellent for expanding your tool box. Lots of practical experience with using the models and tools.

Esther and Don share a a lens that coaches can use to gain insights into their organizations and create small experiments that create an opportunity to learn and improve.

Very good way to become more helpful to organizations.

This course is about helping individuals, teams, and organizations become more effective. The exercises and discussion with students and instructors let you personalize the material.

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.

This workshop is a true taste of what coaching looks like in an organization. The material is timely and relevant.

An introduction to the steps in a meaningful dance: center, enter, turn. Practice in pairs learning the routine and building anticipation of dancing to the music of your org.

Instruction on tools that can be used to help teams and others throughout the organization see the big picture more clearly and how things affect the big picture.

Sometimes (most times) the problems we face are multi-faceted and complex. The workshop gives tools to pause & observe, analyze the system & determine what experiments you want to take.

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

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