Our facilitator and her process are fantastic! She led my staff and Board of Directors through an amazing journey - starting with capturing our own unique vision and helping us identify our "look" in three years, and the articulating our agency challenges and obstacles, which might have precluded us from reaching that nearby horizon. Later, she took our collective analysis and identification and cheerfully channeled it into specific action items, which were highly organized in three primary target areas. From that point, each group created a realistic, doable timeline infusing all of us with a sense that we could achieve the "look" we wanted in the time we imagined. That's the great part. And she did all of this with a sense of humor, great visuals, and expert timing, which left all of us eager to continue rather than feeling a drain that retreats tend to do without as skillful a facilitator.

The ToP Trainers and Facilitators I have met are incredibly talented and make an enormous positive impact on our community. I have personally had such a positive experience working with them. Their training helped me enormously and I have seen many others benefit tremendously from having taken training or from having experienced their magic in helping people and communities learn about themselves, plan for their future and resolve issues. When I think of all the problems there are in the world today, I always think that people would be more apt to see positive outcomes if they only were familiar with ToP methods of interacting.

When I signed up for MToP, I anticipated learning new techniques for getting diverse groups to work together more productively. I got that and more. I tapped into the collective wisdom of a unique group of social pioneers who know how to make participation work. MToP transformed my consulting business in ways I never imagined.

MToP lives up to its name as an Intensive! The combination of information layering with group discussion and activities enhanced by meaningful practice opportunities was impactful professionally and personally. It was way more effective training for learning adults that anything I have experienced.

This course ignites the possibility for individual creativity. The GFM tools become living processes that will catalyze current and existing work applications. I can't imagine changing the world without these tools, insights and mentor support

Rebecca Gilgen

The tools I learned in the MToP course have expanded my understanding of facilitation in ways I never could have imagined. Having the ability to learn and practice the tools in a safe and didactic environment has been integral to my growth. The methods are universal and powerful in their simplicity. I was exposed to the deeper side of facilitation: the power of images, how our brains process information, how much power there is in a group of individuals. It changed my perspective on how deep and powerful facilitation can be in helping organizations to get things done.
