Additional Comments
The training was FABULOUS. Thought provoking, fun, interactive and introspective. I advocate for this program for all staff as it truly was a great experience with some valuable lessons learned.
Thanks to John, he did a great job!
Thank you for your enthusiasm.
Great Time!
Great suggestion to keep group going.
Great Training! I will be exploring additional opportunities to use this intervention in other areas.
All staff should attend and especially supervisors and managers.
Include this training for all DOC staff at ALL LEVELS. Make it a weeklong and get deeper into all of the areas. Great course.
John was great ☺
Like the L&Ls. Really broke up the class room setting.
The whole training should be longer.
Some of the activities were a bit repetitive.
Class was evenly divided with time spent on each target. Structure was great.
I did have expectations that this training would be something different. I was pleasantly surprised and did not dislike any of it.
Excellent course all staff that would be willing to actively participate should receive this training.
Great training. Highly recommend it to others.
Great teaching style for John!
Great job, need more training like this.
Excellent job. Well worth the money spent by the DOC.
The course was excellent. There was never a dull moment. Today, too many people use PowerPoint, which becomes too formal. This class really breaks down barriers. It lets people relax.
Again, instructors made it as enjoyable as a class could be. Good job!
Overall a great course and by far the best DOC training I’ve had yet very stress free and not at all boring. Instructors were great! Keep up the good work!!
I would like to recommend this course to all DOC employees. It would be better if we all could understand each other to make us a more cohesive department. We can all work together toward one goal without nonsense fighting between each other. More extensive than 2.5 days training.
Great course – every DOC employee should have this exact class – at academy/N.E.O.
Great job. Thanks so much for all you do for all that attend these trainings.
The course was awesome. I learned so much and hope to take more courses like this.
