“Sara’s workshops helped me to feel more confident about taking on the role of supervisor. The focus on process means there’s great scope for personal development too! I highly recommend this training for supervisors at all levels.”
“I’m eager to get about a dozen copies so I can give them to my friends and say: “This is a Darn good book. Don’t talk to me again unless you’ve read it.”
“This really has been the most wonderful journey. It has made me realize the things that I did know about myself and re affirm my values, made me acknowledge the things I didn’t know, and address the things that I ignore. The start was unknown, the journey was colourful and the destination was wonderful…. Every step of the journey was not what I was looking for, but was ultimately what I needed.”
“Very accessible reading, great examples to explain points, good clear and usable exercises throughout. Easy to relate to…I often found myself going; ‘yes I have felt this too’…“
“Great that the book built up slowly and explained each aspect and explored it, and then as the book moved on these were built upon and referred back to…it helped with understanding and to reaffirm each aspect as part of the journey.”
“Very enjoyable journey to undertake. I felt like you weren’t taking it alone as the ‘book’ travelled with you and helped carry you along.”
“Really feel like I have been on a journey and benefited personally from reading this book, I’ve really enjoyed the contents, the stories, the exercises and the positive progression through the stages.“
“This book contains valuable, nay, vital information and relays it in a gentle, coherent, persuasive way. It never beats the reader over the head. It always persuades. What a delight that is!“
“Stage one, especially, is beautiful. Beautiful is not a word I use often about writing. The explanation of dual consciousness is one of the best I’ve read.”
I can honestly say this training felt like the most enjoyable and informative training I’ve had the pleasure of taking in my career to date. I looked forward to the training days in the weeks running up to them and found all of the readings and course work as well as discussions, role-plays and break-out rooms so helpful.
The Advanced Supervision and Process Skills training gives practical, embodied exercises that put theory directly into practice. The speed and pace of the group exercises prevent too much intellectualization and encourage a fun, creative learning experience. The invitational approach of the facilitators welcomes in doubt and confusion with respect, gentleness and humour.
The Impeccable Leader Training provided by Sara and Jill was by far the most valuable leadership/management course I have undertaken, and I only wish that I had taken it much earlier in my leadership career. I highly recommend this training to anyone involved in a leadership/managerial role at any point in their leadership career.
I found the introduction to the Inner Camino pathway extremely powerful and meaningful. Using this as a framework for developing leadership has been immensely helpful in my personal and professional life.
