What our participants notice

Realising Potential

What changes when people learn to work differently

Clients describe changes in how they think, communicate, relate and put learning into practice.

Impact that is both personal and practical

The experiences below come from people who participated in Rooken’s workshops and development processes. Together, their reflections point to four recurring forms of value.

  • Understanding. Making theory, communication and experience feel real and usable.
  • Relationships. Strengthening how people relate to colleagues, others in their lives and themselves.
  • Integration. Connecting ideas, science, practice and different ways of learning.
  • Application. Using practical tools in everyday work and continuing to learn through application.
A circular flow of understanding, relationships, integration and application

PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION

Thrive has changed my life. It’s changed how I relate to people in my life and I’m 50 years old! It takes a lot for a 50-year-old to change. It’s changed how I relate to people in the business. It’s changed how I relate to people in my personal life, and it’s changed how I relate to me when I think through issues and problems, it’s changed how I think through those which is awesome. Thank you. I cannot thank you enough. It’s been wonderful.

Learning that becomes usable

MAKING THEORY REAL

I absolutely loved the discussion in our workshops. I love how Rooken can take theory and bring it to us and help us understand it. And make it real and alive. It’s just fabulous.

DEEPER COMMUNICATION

I have done a number of communication courses over my career, and this is by far the best. All the other courses have only skimmed the surface of communication and focused very much on face to face spoken communication. This course really dives into the psychology of communication and gives you the knowledge and tools to really understand how you and others are communicating.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION

I thoroughly enjoyed the interactive nature of the workshops. The content was superb and something that I will look to practice in my working life. It’s just a great environment. I’ve seen a lot of people start using the tools that they’ve learned through these workshops, which has been incredible.

AN INCLUSIVE LEARNING JOURNEY

The journey with Rooken was truly transformational over the course of 8 weeks. The caring way in which the training interactions and content are structured for different learning styles means that each and every one of us managed to take significant value from the time spent with Rooken. Being able to communicate is so much more than just being able to talk. The #ThinkTogether communication blends the science and art of communication in a way that every person should experience in order to break-open true relationships and connections that co-invent a beautiful world together, in all spheres of life.
