Testimonials
Here’s what people are saying about the Group Leader Training course:
What was most valuable to me was the encouragement that ‘I can do this.’ This training was comprehensive and makes me feel very well prepared to lead a group, with a clear understanding of what my role is and is not. I feel empowered to help others!
The broad range of topics that are covered is fantastic. I was able to pick and choose what I viewed which was so helpful!
Hearing the stories that the speakers shared and their own unique perspectives on topics helped me feel like I’m not alone.
The training was concise, to the point, and covered much of what is experienced in Pure Desire groups. The instruction and strategies on how to deal with each situation were excellent. You can tell the speakers’ content was based on knowledge and experience.
Knowing there is so much support for leaders and that the processes Pure Desire already has in place are effective was so comforting. I just need to follow the teachings in this course for my groups to be successful.
This is like getting to spend time with an expert in the field!!! You literally get to learn from their experience so that when you have your own pitfalls, they will not be as deep or as wide.
The in-depth discussion and simple explanations make this course a must!
