"I have reached much more insight and clarity about myself during the course". Personell Manager
"Björn has a capacity, which marks a skilful courseleader: he can translate the inner structure and rhythm of the groupprocess into practical exercises - eg. outer expressions for the inner psychological themes and process of the group - and at the same time everything seems totaly improvised. The different steps of the course moved easily into each other and one exercise lead naturally to the next one. You could feel that there was much caring and sensitivity in the order of the course, which gives the group freedom and space to move where it needs to go. Very important, I think, but very rare". Consultant and Entrepeneur"
