“The lessons that I learned during the Still Waters program were transformational. We explored the power of coaching and powerful techniques to bring it to life. We also focussed a great deal on ‘practicing’ with each other, in a manner that was well guided and intentional on learning outcome. I was pleased that I received these benefits, but what I did not expect this course to gift me, was insight into my own personal and professional ‘mode of operation’. During the time away, I was challenged to move out of my left brain and explore the right. Challenged to move out of thinking and analysis and explore more emotion and meaning with myself and those that I was coaching. This sparked reflection that has helped my journey of being a more rounded individual and leader. I loved the experience. I am a better leader because of it and I would like to say a better person!”
