"Scholars interested in the psychodynamic orientation
are often referred to (paraphrasing Freud), as archeologists
of the mind. Anil Behal, Principal Consultant at ORGDYNE
Training & Consulting, LLCSM is different in
that he is one of these rare individuals who knows how
to combine the old with the new, using web technology
to reinvent the group dynamics approach. I can only
welcome this kind of initiative as a way of reaching
out to a global community."

From reviewers and participants:
"The material and concepts covered during this seminar
at the University of Chicago are practical and applicable
to issues that exist within my organization. The ultimate
value derived from this seminar stems from the fact
that I can readily implement any element of the concepts
assoon as I return to my organization. I'm very much
interested in recommending that my colleagues and senior
level management consider exposing themselves to these
concepts. I anticipate doing this motivation through
example. Great team work on the part of the instructors/facilitators."

"Enjoyed the exercises and role plays. Instructors were
very knowledgeable and provided us with useful suggestions
for our particular work situation."
"I thought the class created a lot of new ideas,
and after they were introduced, it seemed that it was
common sense."
"Excellent stories and real life applications!"
"I liked the topic and materials. I liked the opportunity
to share and listen. […] The last day was important
in pulling together the ideas and concepts."
"Overall, it was an excellent and worthwhile presentation.The
last part of day three where we opened up the group,
brought us closer together."
From faculty coaches at Robert
Morris College in Chicago, IL:
"This was my second seminar with ORGDYNE Training and
Consulting. Both have been informative and useful in
theoretical and practical ways. These seminars are edifying
and a wonderful way to enliven the use and learning
of psychodynamics in group settings. I hope you will
keep up the good work."
Mal Rudner
Organizational Consultant
"Every single element of this program was a success,
taking me from the bottom of doubts, to hills of satisfaction
to the heights of delight: The material was richly balanced,
the participants were informative an
alert, and the setting was comfortable and comforting,
thanks to the facilitator who crafted a safe learning
environment with unique elegance over the course of
the course. Bravo!"
Magid Mazen, Ph.D.
Professor of Management, Suffolk University
"I found the seminar to be good in that it has opened
new doors of interesting information for me. Thanks
to
all for posting the many interesting topics of discussion
and knowledge sharing, and Anil, a special thanks to
you for developing the seminar and online format."

Professionals’ comments
on the curriculum design:
"As a long time consultant and coach to executives and
Boards of Directors (particularly in the nonprofit sector),
I am very impressed with both the breadth and depth
of your design. What I mean is that you have addressed
all of the issues I find most important and demanding
in coaching, such as the difference between coaching
and therapy, and the importance of ROI […] At
the same time, you consider the depth of coaching --
right into the core of a coach's perceptions, projections,
and self-awareness. I also enjoyed reviewing the supporting
materials you have selected for the course. These materials
are rich, diverse, and sophisticated. They have an 'edgy'
quality that I appreciate in effective programs. […]
Coaches not only help clients increase skill, competence
and achievement, but often are most needed to help clients
discern when to 'not know, not do, and let go...' Bravo,
for your willingness to cover all of this territory."
Marybeth Fidler
Consultant, Speaker, Executive Coach, Kula, HI
"A warm and hearty thanks for giving me the opportunity
to provide feedback on your coaching course, "Developing
Superior Coaching Skills." First impression: This
is a very thorough and satisfyingly deep presentation.
I very much enjoyed your use of thought-provoking quotes
and use of references. The quotes gave the presentation
a vividness and lightness that a presentation of this
length and depth requires. And the references added
credibility where perhaps many might have doubts on
a topic such as coaching where anyone these days can
label themselves as a coach. I also reviewed the online
supplemental articles, research, and other tools on
coaching and found them to be a collective wealth of
supporting materials for anyone interested in the subject
of coaching. You have compiled here a very impressive
collection of resources that provide theoretical, empirical,
and actionable information on coaching. The emphasis
on evidence-based coaching is reassuring, and I look
forward to seeing more research referenced in your collection."

"My overall reaction at first blush to your preview
was a desire to attend the program and to learn more/more
deeply than I have thus far. Part of that is my reaction
that your content is well grounded; another part is
that you seem to have enough clarity on intention and
learning structure -- so often people sponsor programs
without thinking about how to best help the audience
learn (rather than just telling what they know); and
another part is that you have built in multiple layers
of learning and multiple connections to other learning."
Bill Monson
Director, Family Enterprise Center, St. Thomas University
"This is a very good course and I would have no hesitation
to recommend it. I was impressed with the slides the
first time I saw them, not least because I recognised
the generic quality of much of the
American and Australian material. One consulting test
I always apply is this: "if parachuted into a client
situation with 10 minutes' notice could I deliver this
presentation/course acceptably using their slides and
my experience?" The answer is yes. I would have
some differences of emphasis and style but I could do
so."
Barry Curnow
Principal, Maresfield Curnow School of Management Consulting,
London
"You have some excellent material to allow for great
role playing exercises and a real learning practicum
about coaching, feedback, and goal setting. This would
also allow [the facilitators] to provide very practical
and visible examples of how coaching works. To me these
slides and the role plays that could be done relative
to them would be a first class opportunity to practice
and learn and to experience coaching from two great
coaches and the day in my view would be sensational
[…] My understanding of adult learning requires
involvement and you have the outline for a very dramatic
day of adult learning."
