Comments from Our Previous Classes
"What aspect of the training was most valuable and why?"
—“Sabrina herself. Her knowledge and enthusiasm. The written scripts, practiced out loud, were great; the role plays were surprisingly helpful; the impact of the mediation technique was real.”
—“Great content and important skill set to have. Learned a lot with roll playing. Sabrina was so willing to help and ensure we were comfortable and had all our questions and concerns addressed.”
—“All of the training exercises were helpful. I especially liked how they all built up to the end where we all got to practice a mediation from beginning to end, instead of just starting out with one.”
—“The training manual along with the sequence of lectures and role play was very valuable. All the tools of self-examination and self-learning (Gregorc & Myers Briggs) etc. – very enhancing.”
