Growing Intentionally

I attended the 'Everyone Communicates, Few Connect', Growing Intentionally course this year in 2021 across 10 weeks.This course may on the outside seem like things you may already know, however this is truely not the case. Every week we met as a group to discuss a different topic of the course, and every week I left with a new tool for my connection tool-kit.The course is social, I made friends virtually and really enjoyed seeing them week to week (especially being lockdown). I loved looking forward to my Tuesday's as I knew I would share and grow with others in a supportive environment.James as a facilitator keeps things fresh and engaging! He creates a space where people can be real, authentic and vulnerable with their experiences. This creates at atmosphere of learning much more beyond reading a book could ever teach you.I would highly recommend signing up for a Growing Intentionally course, if you would like to further develop yourself in a fun, supportive and educational setting.

James from Growing Intentionally was an incredibly warm, thoughtful and open facilitator and I really enjoyed exploring the different dimensions of communication that we know subconsciously but rarely have the opportunity to explore in depth. I found the online class to be a very welcoming environment where all participants could share openly and learn from one another.Would highly recommend!

I first encountered James as an Agile project management coach and found his workshop sessions incredibly helpful- rigorous and detailed, but not so complicated that it was overwhelming. He has a knack for helping people contextualise learning outcomes for their specific situations. As a result, I reached out to James for ongoing coaching and have benefited from his approach for the past 18mths.James’ coaching sessions have helped me refine my understanding of the unique contributions I can make, and determine “next steps”, not just as a leader at work but also as a husband and dad at home. Most of the time, my work in the for-purpose sector is complex and (more often than I’d like) I find myself at the crossroads of conflict arising from change processes or project mis-management. At these crossroads, James’ coaching has helped me navigate towards insights that major on integrity over quick-fixes, calm over anxious hustle and practicality over idealism. James is a great listener and a great guy!

The ECFC course is one that every professional should attend once in their lifetime. The content is impactful and engaging, the course is at a steady pace and the people you interact with are the friendliest from all walks of life sharing their stories with you. Last but not least the facilitator will make you feel at ease every step of the way and ensure you have a great learning experience. I cannot recommend this course enough! Thank you JZ for a great learning experience which will surely last a lifetime! :)
