A great experience

“It was a great experience and I enjoyed the pedagogy of the course, very well made. Esther was a great instructor and took care of everybody’s learning throughout the course, so that everybody’s skills and knowledge could grow. Big thanks to Esther and the developers of this course!”

I’d recommend to anyone

“I think this is the most important training I’ll ever do! I think the approach is very clear and it will definitely help me and the company I work for to understand how we can most appropriately support people. The skills I’ve learned, particularly around listening and communicating non-judgementally, will be incredibly useful in all spheres of life. I’d recommend this course to anyone – thank you.”
