This book study was well designed. Discussion boards allowed for rich conversations among class members. Weekly assignments encouraged reflection on current practices, and inspired participants to think seriously about those that need to change.

I love this book. Beers and Probst write in an authentic voice that is supportive and inspiring. They motivated me to embrace their ideas. It inspired me to read both of their Notice and Note books!
