Great course. The small group work allowed for many opportunities to practice and role play. The instructor was great at guiding us through a long training, while allowing us time to ask questions and deep dive into the areas we needed help.

The course is not lecture heavy and promotes many opportunities to practice what you learn real time. Instructor was great and I look forward to taking more of her courses.

Lonnie is a great facilitator. She made the days go by quickly. I did not feel like the course dragged on. It was also nice to have a small group.

Super personable, knowledgeable, and engaging. A great class!

The instructor was so informative and the class was very engaging and had great activities.

Lonnie was very informative and ran a wonderful two day class. The class ran very smoothly and had wonderful exercises and many opportunities to put into play what we were learning.

This course was very beneficial in not only gaining tools for facilitating but practicing facilitation skills. Our instructor, Lonnie, is very kind and encouraging through out the course. She very openly shares experience and knowledge.

This course was excellent and I highly recommend it to others. The instructor, Lonnie Weaver-Johnson, ensured that everyone participated so we could get the most out of the lessons. She crafted interactive workshops that allowed us to practice facilitation and conflict resolution methods in real-time, giving us practical skills we can take into both our personal and professional lives.

I highly recommend taking CSF training (or any of her courses!) from Lonnie Weaver-Johnson, CST, with Sticky Agile, LLC. Over the two days of our 100% virtual class, she demonstrated the art of great facilitation by building trust and a sense of community. Lonnie modeled how to give and receive feedback in a way that preserves everyone's dignity and moves the team forward without leaving anyone behind. The content was thorough, experiential, and well-presented. We were given the freedom to ask questions as they came up and had lots of opportunities to practice facilitation methods in a variety of settings. This was an incredibly valuable experience, and I feel more prepared to take on the role of facilitator in any situation.

Informative material. Great trainer that was very knowledgeable and made the class educational and fun.
