What others say about this course
quotation mark

You two are great trainers. You live what you talk about, are very authentic and manage to create a wonderful atmosphere. Every exercise, every question has a deeper meaning, stimulates discussions and makes me think. Each participant is given space to share their emotions and thoughts with the group and the interaction is very respectful. Also that you stayed in the meeting after the sessions for further questions and discussions shows how important it is to you to bring S3 to the world.

I got a deeper understanding of some core principles and concepts (consent, equivalence, drivers, domains etc) that really helped me make sense of my scattered thoughts about organizations and decision making. Learning these core concepts and principles and incorporating them into my daily work and life is already helping me much more than the patterns (which are still very useful!).

You provide great value for money and share lots of knowledge that definitely took loooong years to acquire. It is a pleasure to listen to (and learn from) absolute experts in the field. Any question thrown at you comes back with an insightful answer that clearly indicates you have done this million times and have very extensive experience. Last but not least you are just two very nice people :)

I am proud of myself to have completed the course. I appreciate that you take the assignments so seriously. To me it makes the completions of the course so much more valuable, since it’s not a “participation medal”. I was impressed by the level of detail and the extent of the feedback you provided. It helped me better understand the nuances of the different patterns that can so easily be lost in translation.

A big thank you for your constructive feedback on the assessments. I didn't know what to expect but I think it's fair to say that your detailed breakdown is far more useful than I was expecting. It really shows how important it is to you both that your students really understand S3 and can become trustworthy representatives of it.
