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.

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

The workshop covers a series of concepts and tools that you can learn and apply to help improve your effectiveness.

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

An opportunity to learn and experience practices and methods in systems thinking.

Very good way to become more helpful to organizations.

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

It opened me up to new tools and techniques that I can use to improve our relationships with our clients.

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 😉 

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.

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 tips on problem visualization techniques.

Superb facilitation.

A series of ideas and techniques to collaboratively improve a system.

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.

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.

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