My knight in shining armour???

We're more than half way through the coaching workshop now. It's been a really intensive week as the trainees have learned and practised lots of new skills, so everyone was thankful for a little break yesterday afternoon and an outing to the pretty mountain village of Mijas. (Just half an hour away, it's our most usual destination for a short outing with the students who work so hard during our training courses.) An unexpected outcome of our trip is that one of the trainees, a long term missionary, even managed to find us a knight in shining armour! The coaching workshop continues today, with lots of practice coaching sessions where the trainees can coach each other, sharpening their new skills and getting feedback from their fellow trainees, as well as from the staff who've been the trainers during this week. Some of these participants will leave on Saturday, and some new ones arrive for a shorter workshop that we're holding next week on the topic of how to understand people's different personality types and coach them accordingly.
