"Otolith Education was a pleasure to work with.
Kyle involves the students in exercises that stress the importance of
communication, teamwork, and leadership. The activities offer a fun way
of interacting with others, while the discussions that follow, allow
participants to step back, and assess what they’ve learned from their
participation. It’s these practical applications that are driven home,
and it works because the approach was engaging and fun. This is the
third class that I have brought to Kyle, and it will be a mainstay each
year. I bring my students to Otolith Education because I want them to
connect with each other, start to communicate their needs and
expectations, and begin to build the trust and communication that is so
necessary in the field that I am teaching. Each year, I too, bring
something away from these workshops. This year I realized that just as
I expect the students to be willing to ask for help when they need it,
I too need to know when to be willing to ask for help when I need it
from them, other instructors, or administration. In a society that
stresses individuality, it’s important to remember the community that
surrounds you, and is there for you, as a network of resources."
