The instructor was very personable. I did come away with the understanding that Presence of Mind really means to think about what you are thinking and to be aware of your assumptions and biases.

Rob was very engaging.

The group exercises helped each of the participants to learn to think critically. I think this will allow people to think more thoroughly in work situations and consider all of the peripheral factors.

A good refresher course for critical thinking.

I liked the way Rob Schnell presented. He created a comfortable learning environment and he laced in relatable examples throughout the course. As a result, the group relaxed and was able to give input. The booklet was also great. I found the concepts easy to understand and liked that I got to work individually and as a group.

I really like how the faciliator worked different strategies to have you interact with different people in the class. I think I worked with or spoke with almost everyone in the room. But also not forcing you to work with different people all of the time. It was a good balance. Rob was an awesome facilitator!
