The workshop covers a series of concepts and tools that you can learn and apply to help improve your effectiveness.
Better understand the system
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.
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.
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 😉
A wonderful experiment-driven experience in understanding social interactions and how to effectively influence their outcome.
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.
Very good way to become more helpful to organizations.
Pure gold!
