No powerpoint. Just engagement and collaboration.

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

Pure gold!

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

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.

Very good way to become more helpful to organizations.

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 😉 

Great tips on problem visualization techniques.

Superb facilitation.

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

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

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

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

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

The knowledge that I gained from the three day workshop … I can’t even imagine how i would have learned any of this without Don and Esther. It was one of the best workshops I’ve been to.

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