MALAKAI O.

The training environment was comfortable, encouraging, and easy to engage in, which helped in gaining new knowledge.

LOGAN A.

I enjoyed the fact that I could relate to the content in both a professional setting and a personal setting. It has allowed to take a step back mentally and question how I approach things, and if that is negatively, how do I then flip that.

SELA M.

Trainers were kind and approachable, I felt comfortable asking questions and discussing my ideas.

SARAH D.

The activity questions were tough and really made me think about my attitudes. The team has really good energy and thoughtful perpestives. I wish the workshop was longer!

MELINO F.

I felt very welcomed and the trainer is very kind. He talks real talk, you feel welcomed and know he is here to really help you.

DANIEL V.

I loved the environment. I was encouraged to share my experiences and goals that I wanted to achieve. It felt easy.
