Guiding Circles Testimonials
It really opened my eyes to see unthreatening
ways to reach defensive, closed clients Very
useful, very different from western models of
career counselling, a strong tool to motivate
clients to create profiles This is a wonderful,
people-oriented program that focuses on life-long
non-institutional learning. This is a program
for unique people even though it was designed to
use with Aboriginal people This is a strong
practical program. Excellent self-assessment
tool for educational and career goal-setting.
Addresses the need of the whole person
