Testimonials
Effective teaching about maturity has to come from those who truly embody it. Beena and Susanne are masters of maturity!
Dr. Alan Watkins
“The supervision towards certification was a fabulous process and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to have Beena and Susanne listening in and providing their feedback. It has helped me understand the framework and instrument better and areas where both would have dove in deeper or taken another route which was very helpful”.
Certified Coach
Susanne’s knowledge is unsurpassed in this area; this much is obvious and was an enormous benefit. I don’t think that was her greatest contribution, however. I think her greatest contribution was her exemplifying the felt-experience of each stage. This was not simply an intellectual exercise; it was deeper and richer.
Michael Forlenza, Ph.D
“Love, love, love the polarity tool—and organizational applications were a helpful way to frame how development stages could be applied in a variety of organizational contexts.”
Ed Maino
Can’t say enough about Polarities and how effectively it is taught—so good!
Carrie Beckner
The pace of the sessions was very conducive to my learning. I had time to process and experience without feeling rushed. I appreciate how Beena and Susanne “danced” with us. Beena was flexible and also used her wisdom to adjust and adapt on the fly to our needs. As many of us expressed, we finished the days feeling full and yet not overwhelmed. I believe a lot of this had to do with not having emotional tension in the background, as I have experienced in other learning/training situations
Janice Sabatine
Beena is a profoundly gifted coach and thought leader with particular focus in vertical development and ego development theory assessment. She is a brilliant trainer, coach, and strategy consultant. Beena has great mastery in a wide range of developmental and coaching models. She is a very late stage leader full of wisdom and kindness.
Shane Hipps
I was delighted to experience Beena in a lead facilitator role. Her depth of knowledge and understanding of the material and smooth presentation style were engaging and held the attention of the group with every word.
Johnny Thomas
Beena’s questions guided me to avoid two potential ego traps I had set for myself. That saved me unnecessary and painful wandering in the dark. I recommend the entire experience of MAP assessment.
Dariusz Klupi
Beena took the pulse of the field wonderfully and met it with flexibility. She was organized, willing to be herself, and showed up as a vigilant leader, with exquisite timing and deep intelligent caring. Her knowledge of the polarity work was impressive
Workshop Participant
I loved the design of the materials and the exercises. And while I feel full and excited, I don’t feel complete. I
want more.
Workshop Participant
The emphasis on the earlier developmental stages instilled an awareness of compassion for myself during earlier parts of my life and for others who currently occupy those stages.
Workshop Participant
Susanne’s and Beena’s beautiful presence and mastery of the material are evidence of many years of experience and deep passion for the work. I am honored to be with them and feel privileged to learn. Thank you for your dedication to research and rigor.
