Some Lessons LearnedParticipant
Management2-day sessions do
NOT develop skills, Coaching Circles help
Participant preparation matters
Participant buy-in to the spirit can be challenging
Agency buy-in is crucial to training success
If we had it to do over againImplementation takes
more of everythingCollaboration is not easyNeither is sustainabilityDevelopment of internal
agency capacity, not just training, should be the goal
Space & Equipment which works matters…
