The course is highly interactive, with hands-on activities, real-time feedback, and opportunities to practice facilitation in a safe learning environment.

Good class and facilitator.

Lonnie facilitated a great experience. I highly recommend her as a teacher.

Lonnie was very engaging and very knowledgeable about the subject matter in this course.

Lonnie Weaver-Johnson was EXCEPTIONAL. Her knowledge of the subject matter, transparent communications, real-life examples and humble, down-to-earth delivery made the 2-day course interesting and of significant value. As a Project Manager of technical staff, it was easy to understand and participate in the facilitation topics and adapt to real situations experienced with technical staff. Will definitely recommend her and the course to others.

Her course kept you involved and engaged. Not boring at all and a lot of practical workshops. Excellent course.

This course is an absolute must for anyone who leads or supports projects and facilitates meetings to move projects forward.

The course is not lecture heavy and promotes many opportunities to practice what you learn real time. Instructor was great and I look forward to taking more of her courses.

Lonnie was very informative and ran a wonderful two day class. The class ran very smoothly and had wonderful exercises and many opportunities to put into play what we were learning.
