Love your videos and content, the course is even better. It has helped me to improve my facilitator skills and ask better questions. I really liked your explanation of the problem definition, 4 puzzle pieces and how to make stable standards the most. I find the frameworks you provide for all the tools bring greater clarity to the problem solving process.
