What people are saying about the Peer Leadership Programme

From Jim Pescud:

I am nearing the completion of the six months PLP Non Violent Communication(NVC) Course run by Shari Macree.

I first met Shari at a weekend NVC course she was running. There were some challenging moments for this group, moments which I wasn't at all sure could be resolved, but they were. Shari showed such a deep level of compassion for all of us - demonstrating the loving power of NVC. I signed up for the PLP course a few months later with high expectations - I haven't been disappointed.

From a personal perspective the PLP course has been fantastic. It has enabled me to open up and see more clearly the patterns which effect the way I am in the world, the barriers my ego throws up, which through the course have been my working ground.

I've taken what I've learnt from the course to aid my client work - people living with an acquired brain injury. This has been particularly useful with reducing stress and anxiety levels. It has enabled clients to get in touch at a much deeper level with their own and others feelings and needs. This has led to a new found level of empathy and compassion for some. - it has been literally life changing.

The structure of the PLP course, which includes face to face group work plus phone sessions with Shari, has worked very well for me.

Shari is serious about her students coming to grips with NVC, she has taken me up to and past my comfort zone many times - WOW!, this is what I was after - growth beyond the comfort zone.

If you are serious about personal and spiritual growth, about opening up the heart for yourself and for others, then I can't recommend this course highly enough.

Thanks so much Shari.
