“The content of the QT model is SO good. There is so much of immediate and lasting value in this model. I could keep learning about this model for many years and across many different contexts. I am truly passionate about understanding more about the model and learning to implement it in various contexts. I really enjoyed my coaching sessions overall and the live coaching during discussions. That was hugely valuable PD.”
