Some Comments from Teachers about the Workshop
Excellent and inspiring - quite an eye-opener
- a very interesting and inspiring way to communicate that has such positive and immediate results
An exceptional
workshop in my opinion; accessible and authentic, and completely non-threatening to the learner. The delivery was really clear,
and Stephanie has a relaxed humorous way of explaining and modelling that allowed all the teachers to engage and explore without
feeling 'wrong'. All my experience of using the skills has been very positive.
Well-presented, clear
and direct. Helpful when dealing with challenging children
Helpful to understand the different types of authority, and how to avoid 'blocking'
communication with children. Useful strategies. A clearly presented and enjoyable day
The material was presented well, and the list of roadblocks to communication
made me reflect on our usual responses to different situations. Amazing teacher; a people person, with fantastic stories to
share
Fantastic teacher!
Really experienced and knows how to teach and explain practically as well as theoretically. A fantastic experience and
true enlightenment, something I feel should have been taught/addressed whilst doing my teacher training. Something I will
take with me and use from now on
I have
really enjoyed the workshop and feel empowered, believing more in my abilities. The workshop has given me great clarity.
I am able to stand back and be more objective; feel clearer when resolving issues in the classroom; and feel more able
to turn negative situations into positive ones!
The workshop has helped to break down and de-mystify areas that can be frustrating. It has helped to re-enthuse
me about teaching. Stephanie has taught the programme with great clarity, and has been very approachable. She creates a great
learning environment where one can grow and feel safe to make mistakes and learn. Thank you!
A well-structured delivery of simple methods that effectively enhance
relationships in school. Very practical tools. It has given me more confidence in my authority in my job
The simple concepts were at times challenging and confusing
yet once grasped in practice, very effective. Really helped ground my role at school with practical tools to draw upon. The
instructor was very clear and knowledgable, and creative in her own expansion of ideas - very useful, especially in the understanding
of true authority
Accesible and practical, I have developed new skills and the whole experience
was very positive. Stephanie is an excellent trainer; she knows her stuff and how to have fun with it!
I've
learned so much about myself and my attitude towards teaching and the children - it's all beginning to click! I'm
learning to feel more confident and assertive and now have the tools to help me. It was presented in an enjoyable and engaging
way.
Extremely useful; dynamic, interesting, it's changed my perception of effective
communication. Lovely clear presentations, well-paced, good fun.
A well-planned and well-delivered workshop
which has changed my understanding of communicating with children. An opportunity to re-evaluate my communication professionally
and within my family.
Very professional, well-prepared and organised. I still feel I
am at the beginning of a long learning process, but I am much clearer about how to react in the most appropriate way.
This workshop has pulled us together as a school team, giving us a common language which enables us to be aware of
and resolve difficulties with far greater understanding of human relationships. The self-awareness leads us to communicate
with greater sensitivity and effectiveness. The workshop was fun; we laughed a lot which made the whole experience very bonding.
Stephanie answers any question or challenge with enormous confidence and experience. It was great to work with someone who
really knows their stuff.
The best workshop; interesting and relevant and presented in an
accessible way. Stephanie kept the momentum and pace well, she knows when to linger and when to move on. Very good.
