"I realized my entire role is facilitation. I have to do a lot of lateral influencing, so I use these skills even if it is not a super-structured workshop. This is how you collaborate—It is the underpinning of the future of work."

"I think it was the combination of group work, buddy work and one on one's with Erik that rounded out the program for me. I really appreciated the connections that were developed and the experience of different ways of approaching facilitation in different industries."

"In addition to Erik being a great instructor, I feel that engaging with other great participants really helped the learning process. I also thought the portfolio work helped me home in on my purpose as a facilitator. I also enjoyed the 1:1s with the instructor."

"This was an outstanding experience as a leader. I was able to reflect on my facilitation skills, sharpen them and make fresh connections to other leaders. I really enjoyed the coaching from instructors as well as the peer-to-peer engagements."

"Having buddies throughout was really helpful, and I appreciated getting to work with different ones each month. Everyone brought something different and valuable to the partner work. The 1:1 coaching sessions with Erik were tremendously helpful as well. And I love the opportunity to share and ask questions on Slack.
