The course description led me to believe this training would be much more helpful ('learn to make sound decisions, acquire new skills, problem solve). It was essentially self-assessment after self-assessment. There was not much in the way of practical experience. How do I take what I learned in self-assessment and make more sound decisions, etc? Too much time was wasted on small group work. We worked in pairs, then in small groups to share the same info again. Or we worked in small groups and then reported out to whole group. Boring and not helpful. The instructor asked for feedback and read out comments on morning of second day. She said she wanted feedback, but then was very dismissive of any negative comments (there were mine and at least two others, plus one guy who was so dissatisfied with the training that he didn't return for day 2...I had lunch with him on day 1, so know how unhappy he was). When I talked to her at break time, she basically told me I have a bad attitude. I mentioned that at lunch to someone who I had sat with at our small group/tables and she thought that was ridiculous (aka--I do not have a bad attitude).
