Course Experience: How was the experience of doing this Listening Well course?

Empathy Training Team 1: Meeting 18: Course Experience

EDWIN RUTSCH

I Like..

• • This is a very solid and dedicated team.

  • I love the commitment of everyone.

  • A good learning and growing experience.

  • Was able to start from scratch and create the whole website and resources. Feelings of satisfaction and accomplishment.

  • The outline of the course gives a good structure that builds.

I Wish…

• • It was clearer on how people could contribute

  • We had been able to design more refined exercises.

  • Had been able to make more of all the dialogues and notes.. Ie turn it into articles, or something.

  • The we could create something that really resonates with a lot of people, ie goes viral.

What if…

• • We continue with making a video for the next 2 or 3 meetings

  • Everyone be able to use the video to host online empathy circles.

  • We then do the next 6 lesson course together.

BOB BROWN

I Like..

• • It had a lot of meaning

  • Every chapter has truth with a capital . real

I Wish…

• • Perfectly happy this has been a grand experience.

What if -

• • I do an online course with leading it with my church ‘ - need ok front

  • Leading an online course.

  • Would like to be of service. - inp[ired to spread the empathy message.

BILL FILLER

I Like

• • I loved the experience I had in collaborating with everyone, and the subject matter was compelling.. I seek to understand the overall structure of the course and where the process is headed. I am open to hear about/be trained in Ciejla’s training, because it seems it would add depth to our experience.

What if

• • If we wish to be able to facilitate the spread of Empathy Circles, then I think we should quickly establish a basic criteria for facilitation, establish a coterie of facilitators, and then solicit participants. One avenue we might explore is having a sign-up sheet online and when we get 3-5 participants, a facilitator would be assigned for online meetings, for 4 meetings, after which the group could decide to continue, or participate in some other way.

CIELJA KIEFT

I Like

• • Going through the book of Miller worked fabulous for me as I could see sharply where my training differs from his and I loved several exercises that I would like to start using.

  • I loved the group and the dedication of everybody to show up

  • I thought the practice of reflective listening straight away was a breakthrough to see how quickly people could be helped with this skill in their differences.

  • I loved Edwin as taking the leadership over the course, guiding us through the sessions, so I think that is one of the great things to have a facilitator.

I Wish...

• • What I missed was probably some ‘lose’ discussion time

What if..

• • How I would like to continue is to show the group the 6 lesson proposal that I created to see if this is something concrete as a basic training in listening; Getting comments adjustments, additions etc.Make the videos with the group where I think a video would be great, and then facilitate the course with new groups to see how it works.
