Whole-Group Community Sharing – an intentional process that enables community members to share experiences and discover one another.

As a 1st-year Behavior Coach, I was feeling uneasy about the school year and what to expect. This training has given me the boost of confidence I needed! Allen was hilarious and I learned so much from him and the Circle Momma herself! Thank you all so much for taking the time to present us with such valuable information!

I really believe, in my 16 years as an educator, this was the best training I've attended.

It didn't even compare to other trainings I have attended. There was not a minute wasted over the three days. It definitely surpassed my expectations.

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic and meaningful training today. Before this, especially after this difficult past year, I was honestly imagining that maybe early retirement was a good option for me soon. After today, I am retiring those thoughts- I can do this! I appreciate that for the first time in a long time, someone didn't tell us what NOT to do, but what TO do.
