Diploma Testimonials

"This continues to be a profound experiential - whole body learning journey; I feel more complete and connected than I can ever remember.... I am really in-joy-in(g) myself .. and there's still more than a year to go!" - Richard McKenny

"Mere words cannot describe the awesome changes I have felt in me since being involved with the FIRO training. I have grown from frightened child to a self-aware, powerful and engaging adult. When I became more sure of who I am the fear of living in the world melted away. Journeying through FIRO with the incredible facilitation of Pat Young is like walking through a darkened, shady forest negotiating brambles and other obstacles on the path of life before breaking through the confusion into a light filled space that is stunning in its beauty and bright with light. I can now acknowledge that strong golden light within me and go on now to help others shine their own torches in their darkness" - Viv Bolton

"I was thinking (out loud) about the balance there has been between intense and difficult emotional experience, followed by processing, catharsis, and a building of inner confidence and peace. For the first time in a long time, I ran a 1-day workshop. The understanding I had gained from doing the FIRO course gave me the tools, the knowledge, and the confidence to build a deeper and more meaningful relationship with the group than I had ever considered doing before, with the result that the clients (and I) got more out of the day than I had probably ever delivered before" -
Finn Jackson - writer and business strategy consultant

"My work as a consultant involves helping clients to develop intergrated strategies and solutions - whether on an organisational, team / group or individual basis. I am involved in delivering co-created solutions to my clients on a variety of levels - organisational development, team development and individual development in a coaching or personal development context.

Achieving lasting change and delivering value are amongst my personal and professional criteria for a successful intervention at each and every level. My 25 year experience in the learning and development field has taken me to many different theories, models and practices in the search for the "best fit" for my work. In my experience, Firo / Human Element is the supreme approach for working simultaneously at all these levels to achieve the outcomes required. Quite simply, it gets results.

From a personal perspective, I am energised, excited and focused about my journey to "be" Firo rather than to "do" Firo. For me it's not something that one does - it involves really being who you are - and that's an awsomely powerful place from which to operate!" -
