Good session. I picked up several actionable items that I can begin working on immediately.
I think it could have been a two-day session rather than three. There was enough "fluff" in terms of some of the activities that at least a half-day could be cut out. For example, we did an exercise where 25 sets of two letters were on two flip-charts. Each team was to try ot think of as many well-known names as they could using the two letters as initials. I didn't see any applicability to learning about "leading with emotional intelligence." There were some other exercises that seemed only mildly applicable, if applicable at all.
We did a lot of role-playing, which was really beneficial, but a few times we were given inadequate time to prepare.
Steve was a pretty good facilitator, although his balance between PPT slides, flip-charts and the book seemed a little confused at times. However, I'm very forgiving because I know how difficult it is to facilitate three full days of content by yourself.
Steve's subject-matter knowledge is very solid.
