“I attended the organizational consulting and coaching class and not only did I learn so much from the GISC facilitators, but the shared information among the consultants in the room was priceless and something I was not expecting. I left the GISC facility feeling lighter in terms of how my mind was processing information. Through the experiential exercises with facilitators and peer groups, I felt like I learned more in the few days of work than I have ever picked up from the many books and lectures I have been through. There is a soft, subtle way the facilitators go about making such a huge impact and the trust in the process of the class was amazing. I regularly use the concepts learned as they have become a fundamental piece of my experience in consulting. Bonus: The facility grounds are amazing and promote breathing a little more deeply.”
