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.

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

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

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

This workshop teaches a framework for change and gives you experience in using that framework to solve real problems in real organizations.

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

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.

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

No better way to start understanding what you see as you work with teams, groups, and organizations. An astonishing amount of insight in two days of interaction.

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

Very good way to become more helpful to organizations.

Years of research in complex fields distilled into an applicable set of principles and toolkits. This workshop will allow you to understand any organization and put in place the work to improve it.

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 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.

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.
