Read MoreI've had to sit with this experience a while to find the words to describe it. We moved through so many layers simultaneously masterfully woven together by Aaron's tender yet compelling style. The concept of facilitation was explored from all angles while at the same time fostering human connection within the group and giving us the tools to dig deeper into the actionable work of antiracism, always tracking the room and seeing each individual need. These vibes reverberate far and wide!

Read MoreAs former speaker and linguist with university teaching certification, I didn't expect to learn so many new things in the very first of the 4 sessions. Teaching is so much more than sharing knowledge with didactic skills. The amazing Aaron is wonderful at giving the participants the courage to hold spaces on their own, starting, as simple as it might sound, with the voice of the speaker. I'm so curious for the next courses and encourage everyone to participate who is thinking of becoming a Facilitator - a word that I didn't even hear of before reading about this course for the first time.

Read MoreThis training contains useful and insightful information which clearly comes from many years of experience. Aaron both shares the information and embodies it in his presentation. Watch and listen closely to both what is said and how the overall training itself is conducted for maximum learning benefit. Aaron does tend to lose track of time and speak quickly.

Read MoreAaron was amazing. In giving a workshop on presenting/facilitating, Aaron did an awesome job of leading by example, gracefully balancing a desire to get through content yet make space for what was alive in the group. He expertly managed time, showed his humanity, and shared his knowledge and experience with deep humility and love. It was inspiring :)

"Amazing class, life-changing. Allowed me to be comfortable calling myself a facilitator."
Sheniqua took Aaron's long-form facilitator training course several years ago.
He really showed the nuance of facilitating. The best thing I got from his class was 'less is more.'
He has so many tips and tricks on how to be an amazing facilitator. Examples of good facilitation and not-so-good facilitation.
If you have an opportunity to take this class, I advise you to take it!
