I enjoyed the day . I really like , trust the facilitator both for kindness and approach and for her credibility as a coach.i thought the course could’ve been more concise and focused today. It’s not because I’m super confident or think I already know what needs to be done to be a good coach. It’s more about the pace of learning today ,whatever people’s baseline. Totally conscious that Other people will have different preferences but it to me it felt a bit slow . aware there’s a risk of irony when this is a course about coaching but I felt that a lot of this content could have just been provided as seems clear and the models are excellent and explanatory versus a day spent drawing some of this out. Perhaps at least a bit more of a balance. However, the pace was a bit too quick when framing tasks e.g. what are the models for where? How do they sit in literature? What conversations have we had so far that they relate to and in particular where can we find them?

I think Martyn is a good facilitator but was let down by the technology and it really threw him. He was more confident in the 'wash up' session at the end of the day, but less effective at the beginning where I felt he was padding a bit until the technology functioned. I did not find the recap on the models particularly helpful, and I've yet to get a good sense of Gestalt from any of the trainers - I wonder if it is so difficult to explain why we keep discussing it at this level?

Workshop was too long with too many breakout room discussions. It could have been done in 1/2 day and finished at 1:30 instead
