General Comments

 

You saved our project.  I mean it.  Your work was a fundamental turning point in a project where (like many) the human dynamics were more difficult and more important than the design, the budget, and all that business stuff combines.   The thanks should come from us.

Workshop helps us all find out a little more about our teammates and ourselves. Great session!

Your program really resonated with the people here in Sacramento. Nothing but Kudos. It’s wonderful to learn something AND have fun, and all at work!

Best Partnering Session I’ve attended, and you did it in one day – unbelievable!

A lot of issues came up without hostilities. Lighthearted approach really helped. Competent, sincere effort to connect the message to the task.

A great way to understand the needs of your team members and learn to approach each individual for greater success.

Beneficial and mandatory for all projects! The actor was great and helps the time pass quickly.

Very informative – would recommend to anyone!

The “Colors” theme describing communication styles really worked for me. (And I have been to 2 or 3 partnering meetings)

Workshop opened everyone up so that they were willing to share concerns.

Good way to understand team member’s behaviors and needs.

Your sessions were and are a tremendous assistance to putting our teams in the right direction and making sure everyone knows each other from the inside-out prior to firing off with damaging “team destroying” comments. Thank You.

Well planned and performed. I didn’t know the different communication styles even existed.

Useful for large projects & interpersonal success within project teams. I’ve been to Myers/Briggs before, but this seems like it will stick with this group because we were all here.
