“When you’re told you’re going to spend 3-4 hours in a workshop on conflict resolution, you picture yourself sitting in a chair listening to a bunch of stuff, but our participants were pleasantly surprised to find that it was very active and extremely participatory. It is not enough to be exposed to the tools–we got to practice them.”

– Mary Helen Ayres, President
Indiana Midwives Association

“We learned three protocols in our (Coltrain Group Lunch and Learn) session. All three of those I have since used in various settings here in business–and to great results. We used those protocols here for brainstorming activities as we were coming up with our vision and plan for 2014, and we got some really great ideas out of our group. Everybody has ideas and sometimes the best ideas come from the periphery, but people may not be willing to bring those ideas forth unless their is process for it. The protocols really helped bring out those great ideas from the periphery. The protocols I learned from Coltrain Group are transferable to organizations of any size, in any business sector, and I would definitely recommend them to friends and colleagues.” 

– Michael Fox, General Manager
Lennie’s Restaurant
