"What resonates most with me is realising how versatile the tools are...I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this program, and while the impact tools undoubtedly were relatable and insanely insightful for the work I was focusing on, I can see so many different ways that these same principles and tools can be used to guide strategic thinking."

"The flow and design of the program made perfect sense to me. I know you had a lot to pack into 3 days so being able to get the basics the first day, really brainstorm the 2nd day and then pivot to learning about burnout after doing all the hard work really worked well for my learning style. I really appreciated having the time to be in nature every day to give our minds and bodies a break."
