Was really helpful to listen to how you think and the questions you're asking - I think I have a much clearer starting point for some of the previously-unclear aspects of my work by virtue of processing with both of you, so thanks for your thoughtfulness and collaborative processing <3 Kristin

For pushing my thinking with hard questions, making me get really specific and concrete about my next steps (vs. staying theoretical) and for giving me energy and strengthened belief that we all can make systems change within our roles!

To all the folks who have pushed my thinking over these two days, THANK YOU! That includes a particular shout-out to Casie & Kristin for helping me think abt immediate application within HA

Great to get so much good information, clearly presented with positive feelings--and really enjoyed all interactions in the small groups.

Such great facilitation -- it's not easy to do a 5-hour virtual training, let alone two on back-to-back days. The combo of independent reflection, small group, and full group was great & your use of Drive was expert. Thank you!
