Anonymous Reviews From Program Participants

​"I enjoyed and valued the whole training. You made it easy to comprehend, follow along, and take notes. I will be working to apply all the aspects to my work life and personal life. I feel I can really use and refer back to the steps you laid out for Building a Culture of Noticing."

"I found this to be a refreshing management course, most aren't around "compassion" and in today's environment I think compassion is needed now more than ever. Keep up the good work to share your thoughts with organizations. I hope we learn more from you in the future!"


"Dr. Hollingsworth's knowledge and her approach to the information and group conversation's was both inviting and engaging. I stayed focused on the workshop for the full session. This can be tough to do on ZOOM these days. Thank you!"

"Being able to have conversations about compassion and share our thoughts and struggles around it with other managers was refreshing for me. I feel we go through course after course, but to actually have real conversations with other managers about the topic and hear first hand that the others are going through the same things you are is helpful and compassionate in itself."

"I cannot think of anything that would improve this training. Andrea was very relatable and focused the conversation around the direct needs of our team."

​"This was very well organized and presented. I think this could easily be converted into longer sessions with more time for Q&A at the end. I loved the Brene Brown references - she's my fave! I'm glad we had printed resources to follow along. Thank you!!!!"
