Excellent course! Love the international feeling with participants from different continents and the learning from both A-CSM and CSP-SM! Thanks for offering it in a format that made it possible for me as a parent to a child with special needs to make my agile dreams come true without ruining my family life!
Evelyn is my favourite teacher - her pedagogical skills are great, the contents are very helpful and applicable to daily work. The online sessions were excellent, with case discussions, breakout room exercises. I achieved A-CSM, A-CSPO and CSP-SM, and I am ready to take the next learning program she launches.
Evelyn has the ability to feel present in a room, even though it is an online course. What I found to be exceptional about her was the way she challenged us by giving us a problem to solve using only her material and our brains. I loved every second of it.
