This retreat has informed every aspect of my work as a consultant at SAS, whether I am coaching leaders, facilitating meetings, consulting, or teaching. I took away practical tools that allow me to put my agenda to the side, and to make choices in the moment that serve my clients. I returned refreshed and energized and eager to put to practice all that I had learned.

The Art of Mindful Coaching presented a frame of reference for anyone involved in developing people. With his emphasis on self-awareness and partnering, Silsbee reminds us that coaching is about the client, not the coach. Doug has had a significant impact on the way I approach coaching and developing others.
