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

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.

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 😉 

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

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

This is an exciting, eye-opening workshop that provided creative and innovative techniques for coaching teams while assisting participants in developing their Agile network.

Great material, superb instructors, inspiring and most of all helpful!!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

A hands-on workshop with brilliant facilitators / teachers that gives you insight and courage about how to approach your challenges.

A wonderful experiment-driven experience in understanding social interactions and how to effectively influence their outcome.
