A method grounded in research and practice
Our approach combines short theoretical inputs drawn from peer-reviewed research, practical exercises, role plays and structured feedback. Participants work on their own cases, test new behaviours in a safe setting and leave with concrete commitments they can apply the following week.
Between sessions, short assignments help anchor what has been learned. A follow-up review a few weeks later measures what has changed in practice and identifies where further support is useful.
