"I took The Virtues Project Facilitator Training Program as a refresher course, and I highly recommend it to other facilitators seeking a deeper understanding of the five strategies and how to teach them in more meaningful and engaging ways. Watching presentations from facilitators around the world, hearing how they embody virtues and implement their projects, and acknowledging one another’s divine qualities and talents was truly inspiring. It motivates one to become a virtuous leader—whether at home, in the workplace, or within the community." - Palou Abustan, Philippines

Comments from previous participants:
All the program contents, handouts and materials were of excellent quality.- Richard Sidharta, Jakarta, Indonesia
The highlights were the final presentations, so creative!, storytelling from some of the participants, sense of unity, support, caring, companioning, loved the homework because it gave us the possibility of interacting more deeply with other participants! - Nori Susanna Crotti, Argentina
This has been a joyful and inspirational experience and I have benefited greatly from your wisdom and guidance. Thank you! This is a path I have been passionate about for a long time and I am thrilled to have the certification now to move forward with more enthusiasm! I sincerely hope our paths will cross many times! - Julie D., Canada
I feel more confident in supporting the school community with their Virtues curriculum. I also feel I will have the courage needed to deliver short workshops with integrity.- Bev FB, England
I appreciated that we were able to discuss, openly, what worked for us or not.. such honesty to the learning process of all. Such a wonderful facilitator of learning allowed this to happen! - Michelle A., Canada
The highlights were presentations that demonstrated how to present Boundaries & Ground Rules, Language of the Virtues, Values or Virtues, the 4.1 Handout!! (fabulous!), 'awakening virtues by naming them', the clarity around guidelines/expectations, collaboration across organizations 'investigative' approach.- Patti J., Canada
I enjoyed connecting with others using the virtues as a hub in their lives to nurture their own spiritual growth and service. Being with like minded people with similar vision is very enriching. Seeing so many creative ways to expand and personalize the work we are all doing was very helpful. AND, thank you, for your loving support and encouragement during this process of practicing new skills and getting experience reaching for excellence in all that we do.
-Saraswati K., Italy
The encouragement from Betsy was very helpful. I appreciated the variety of students in the cohort group, both in their backgrounds and in their skill with The Virtues Project strategies. -VP Facilitator participant
The individual presentations were a highlight - I enjoyed seeing the different way and styles of facilitating. I also liked how volunteers had to do different segments each week, e.g. honoring the spirit. These gave me insights to a wide range of possibilities. The facilitator, content and materials were excellent!- VP Facilitator participant
