Clean and Crafty Meetings
Delegates' Feedback from an open course 

What part of the training was most useful to you?
 I appreciated the positive atmosphere arising out of the absence of a formal agenda
 Reflecting on my behaviours and reactions in groups
 To learn how to cope when I freeze
 Participating in group discussion
 The first bit that reminded me of what I have already achieved
 Learning about how to use different ways – ie timers etc – to construct meetings
 Learning about time management
 Learning about three key words
 Reflective time to think about my impact on others
 All of it
 Expanded my awareness through presentations and activities
 the way of delivering was a breath of fresh air – totally energising
 MM’s manner and approach went down well generally speaking
 the open and non judgmental style.

What part of the training was least useful to you?
 It was all useful
 None (X3)
 Open / closed questions – however exercise demonstrated how others can misinterpret
 None – (it is best seen as a whole – does not really divide into parts)
 Would want far more time to absorb some of the concepts regarding how / why people interact in the way they do
 The total lack of structure meant that some of the advertised topics* were not covered
 It was all really useful and gave more knowledge 

Do you have any other comments?
 A very enjoyable and interesting day
 Excellent, useful
 Inspiring, amazing and bring on more please
 Fully enjoyed – very relaxed and informative
 If only all trainers…
 Very enjoyable and practical day
 Inspiring trainer – motivational
 It would have been useful to talk in more depth about different types of work meetings, the roles played within them and how to handle specific problems / issues
 I really found the training useful and interesting

Please state any further training you may be interested in:
 Life coaching
 Anything from / with Michael Mallows
 It would be great if I can have another session related to this lesson
 More personal development / management coaching

* Workbooks now state:

Crafty events are an organic process with no pre-determined structure! Therefore, the list of contents does NOT reflect a course agenda.

Content and process will be determined by what delegates bring (hence no role-plays!), the energy we co-create and, of course, the topic and focus of the training.

Not all pages in the workbook will necessarily be used on the course. They are there to inform or remind you of ideas, models and theories that can increase and enhance the process and outcome of your intra- and interpersonal transactions, actions and reactions.

Some pages might not even be referred to on the training itself. However, you are always welcome to e-mail me to discuss or clarify any thing.
