What people are saying about us

“Sandi is a dynamic presenter & passionate and positive role model and advocate for children and educators. This brilliant program provides the visual and contextual tools to allow educators to see when children are needing support and linking that support to the child's needs, rather than their behaviour. This training and the Phoenix Cups have changed the way I think about children's, everyone’s behaviour and I now use "Cup" talk and thinking in my personal and professional life. I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to broaden their ideas and learning around behaviour and how to positively guide not manage it.”

What people are saying about us

“I have just listened to Christopher Phoenix's video on staff wellbeing. Wow! What an insightful interview full of such useful tips and information! This could not have come at a better time as we head towards the last half term of the year with those challenging behaviours at Pre school beginning to escalate. (In ourselves as well as the children I might add!). I have shared this video with my manager and colleague's at our Pre school and we will be setting aside time in our meeting on Monday to discuss some of the mentioned ideas Chrisopher shared.

Hopefully we will glide through the last summer half term as a result!”

What people are saying about us

“Thank you warmly for inspiring our team again. So many of the team have sent me text messages to say “I could just listen and engage with Sandi all day”….. that is really saying something.

You always have a way of reaching teams and I feel we have a deeper understanding of the Phoenix Cups and identifying our needs profile. I can see that our work with children will be richer for having experienced a session with you again.

I wish you could be in our service every week…!!!”

What people are saying about us

“The presenters are AMAZING storytellers and are very engaging. There was also a good balance of discussions with each other, as well as listening to the presenters, the Cups and the scenarios + real life experiences to explain what they are.”
