ToP facilitation training courses, sessions & webinars - what difference do they make?

If you have attended ToP facilitation training courses or sessions, coaching or webinars with me...

Thank you for responding to this survey, to help me to assess and improve what difference they make.

If you take only a couple of minutes to respond to the multiple choice questions, that will be a help. If you take longer to share open-ended feedback as well, that will be even more valuable. You can return to the survey to edit or add to your response as often as you like.

This survey is in partnership with ICA:UK, with whom I have been delivering ToP facilitation training since 1996 - since 2012 as a licensed Associate, and before that as employed staff.

For a July 2017 overview of courses, sessions and webinars of the 5 years since 2012, and participant feedback at the time, see ToP facilitation courses, taster sessions & webinars – what difference do they make?
