The PLP workshop offered a substantive, engaging learning experience that was also just plain fun. Jan Rybeck did a great job of teaching the material in a way that fostered learning and growth and that created a warm, supportive space for experimentation. I also loved the chance to connect and work with fabulous new colleagues. I look forward to applying the insights and frameworks as I begin to use the VMI in my coaching practice. Highly recommend!

Alumni

Incredibly well thought out experience flow, meaningful flip learning to ensure max learning from synchronous events, great “prep and reflect” approach that was multi-medium so engaging and inspiring as well as thought-provoking.

Alumni

Thank you for inviting me into this experience. It’s beyond anything I imagined it could be. You opened and cultivated a rich and spacious environment that allowed the learning to feel effortless. I’m energized, inspired and looking forward to what’s next. What a gift! Very grateful. Thank you!
