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

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

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

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.

We are all at sea in a fleet without a map. Now you will see this situation more clearly and how to help navigate.

An introduction to the steps in a meaningful dance: center, enter, turn. Practice in pairs learning the routine and building anticipation of dancing to the music of your org.

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.

Nice way to learn about change together with other interesting people.

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.

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

It’s great if you’re feeling like you’re stuck. The class gives you some tools to look at a problem in different ways that lead to new insights and a confidence that there are things you can do to be useful.

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

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.

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

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