Led really well and it was very engaging I found being put in different breakout rooms with different people every time slightly unhelpful , as you had to reintroduce every time . I think being with the same people each time in the breakout rooms would encourage fostering closer links though the course and the day , starting to build more of a rapport based on previous conversations, encourage more trust and honesty in sharing of experiences.

I really enjoyed the mix of interaction and facilitation-theory. Rachel was extremely knowledgeable and brought in plenty of evidence to back up her statements and theories. I particularly got a lot out of the group conversation cafe structure. I felt really safe and included in all the discussions. One thing I took away was how different people's inner chimps are. That explains so much! One person mentioned how they get extremely frustrated by people leaving things to the last minute and not being organised- while I would only feel mildly annoyed by this- I have different emotions/triggers I am trying to control and manage.

Loved the facilitator - kept something which could be quite dull fun and took it at an empathetic and supportive pace. The facilitator was also able to adapt and to respond to questions which were outside of the course content.

Darren was a really great facilitator- he talked us through the work at an accessible pace, and found great ways for us to engage with and practice using the formulas etc ourselves. Thanks Darren!

Darren had a very calm way of explaining things, he wasn't rushing anybody and was always keen to go back to certain points and provide detailed overview. It was evident that he has a clear passion for the subject area and could give a lot of real life examples where we could find certain functions useful

I was worried with this course being online that it would be death by powerpoint but was impressed with the level of interaction and use of breakout rooms.

Thanks Nicky! Really well facilitated and lots of techniques and approaches that we can take away and use in our daily work.

Really enjoyed the two day course - it gave me so many useful nuggets to think about from a different perspective and also found it really useful to do it with other people from my own organisation as it was rally interesting to hear different perspectives and develop safe relationships where I can develop those skills
