(smile)\n\nHere are some participants’ takeaways from last year’s Cliffhangers program:\n\n\n It is incredibly valuable to have people reflect on the things they notice about "their" responses--with no sense of rightness--and hear from others.\n This program is BFR at its best!\n I realized the option to stand back for a moment before reacting, and trying to fix something that may not need fixing.\n The format and structure was quite conducive to shared learning.\n Another amazing evening. Thank you so much for your skill at creating the container for this lovely group of facilitators to learn from each other. \n\nCome to this program to test your “dance in the moment” skills!\n \n  X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Facilitating Cliffhanger Moments: Uh-Oh, What Do I Do Now??
