Feelings of participants:

"As project consultants, we should take ourselves as an observer and share the observed phenomena with the factory."

"The coaching method is to forget yourself and put all the attention to others, bring out their potential and abilities, and to inspire others' minds to solve problems."

"In the past, we placed too much emphasis on content and results. In the future, we must pay more attention to the process. The process is the result, and the result is achieved through the process."

For Timeline Consultancy, it is fortunate for us to be able to study with such an open team who are good at learning, which is a rare experience. We have seen more possibilities and greater development potential in the field of dialogue projects, from the form of directly coaching supply chain factories on dialogue projects implementation to coaching brand consultants to conduct dialogue projects.
