No powerpoint. Just engagement and collaboration.

Powerful / Pragmatic / Contemplation / Experiential Learning

Like a fireside chat / mountain retreat with Esther & Don.

Learning with the best of the best.

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

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.

Great tips on problem visualization techniques.

Superb facilitation.

Learn a process framework for analyzing a problem, the players, and the factors that describe the context. Then you can consider how you might experiment with adjusting the system after you understand 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 😉 

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

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

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.

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

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.

Very good way to become more helpful to organizations.

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.

It was such an intimate setting and a great collaborative learning experience.

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.
