Learner feedback
Jesse is very engaging and I feel seen and heard in this training.
Milwaukee nonprofit staff, MI training participant Framing feedback through growth mindset and the Johari window goes a long way to make these ideas concrete and applicable for counseling students.
Sheridan J. Rian, PhD, LPC-SAssistant Professor of Counseling, Saybrook University The trainer was very knowledgeable and did great facilitating the conversation and exercises… It was less about the slides and more about learning.
