What Others Have Said About This Course

Jennifer Johnston
Program Manager Healthcare Workforce & Transition Projects, Highline College
“The Collaborative Innovation training has served us very well. We followed the process pretty closely and it really reenergized these educators and helped the group work together beautifully and thoughtfully. Speaking for myself, the training had a lasting impact on my thinking and facilitation. Hopefully, we’ll be able to attend another training in the future.”

Courtney Pineau
Senior Director of Climate and Agriculture Networks, Green America
“I was thoroughly impressed by the content and overall quality of the experience. From the first day of the course, your team did a fantastic job creating a strong sense of cohesion among the
worldwide attendees. We were given numerous opportunities to connect, to learn, and to work together. I was also deeply struck by the intentionality of how the course was presented. The materials and the seamless use of multiple technology platforms made the event one of the most enlivening virtual events/trainings I have attended. Within days of the course’s completion, our team in attendance had already incorporated many of the methods and frameworks.”

Janey Youngblood
California State University, Stanislaus
“This training workshop was well worth every minute of the participants' time. It provided an awareness of what constitutes a well-run meeting from start to finish. From the facilitator's perspective, it provided the planning pathway, the strategies and skills, and observational awareness to optimize the outcome of an effectively conducted meeting. Lessons learned from this training have also made me a better participant in meetings, even outside the role of a facilitator, because I now know how to help guide the discussions in more productive directions when things start to go awry. It is a training that would benefit virtually everyone who interacts in group settings.”
