We posted Part 1 of this already.
So what is this?
This is the part we did not have time to process until now.
We have been running workshops back-to-back, and with so many reviews coming in, there are times we do not even get to sit with all the evaluations properly. But this one deserved it.
After delivering our Grey Voices / Inner Critic Workshop at Guildford College, we shared the first set of reflections. Now we are returning to that moment, taking a second look, and pulling out even more insights, especially around the personal development tools that left a lasting impression.
Here is another set of responses from Guildford’s counselling students.
The Grid Concept stood out as a simple yet effective framework for managing thoughts and emotions. Here’s how attendees described it:
How did you find the Grid Concept?
A very simple yet powerful tool.
I will be using it to encourage reluctant clients to open up.
It would be good to use it not only for self (self-awareness) but also in counselling sessions with clients.
It was a really good way of taking control of my grey voice.
Thank you, I found this concept very useful.
Amazing tools to use for myself and my clients.
It gave me a visual perspective into my thoughts.
Extremely enlightening.
Personal Development Tools
Attendees shared how they plan to apply what they learnt in both personal and professional contexts:
How will you use the Grid Society Workshop Tools?
Keep using and practising the Grid method to improve my self-esteem and self-confidence, which will, in turn, enhance my life.
I will keep sections such as “your validations” - I have never collected together so many nice things people have said about me, and it is very affirming to see!
I will use the template to keep track of the way I’m feeling, maybe add them to my journaling process, colour-coded with percentages next to them, so I can reflect back.
Without asking, they said this about Grid Society
Several students shared their thoughts about how the session was held and the impact it had on them. We were humbled as our presence felt secondary to the insight they found for themselves.
The Workshop Trainers...
As a hearing-impaired participant, I really appreciated how clear the presentations were, voices were at a good volume and given forward facing so I could lip read.
Great presenters.
Just thank you to the two lovely ladies. Appreciate it.
Very well facilitated.
The ladies who took the course were so lovely, clear, kind and inspirational! Thank you
Fantastic facilitators.
Articulately delivered. Very clear workshop.
"Thank you for being so approachable and making the session engaging."
"The energy and positivity of the presenters made it so much more enjoyable."
"Just thank you for an inspiring and practical workshop."

We feel truly honoured to have facilitated this workshop and grateful for the depth of reflection it sparked. The feedback continues to remind us that the personal development tools we introduce are not just exercises.
They are frameworks that stay with people.
To everyone at Guildford College who shared, engaged and made space for this work, thank you. The way you received it shows us once again why this mission matters.

About
Confront the
Grey Voices
Workshop
Overcome Your Inner Critic
This workshop is where you face the negative self-talk that keeps looping in your mind and holding you back.
You will learn how to spot the Grey Voices. Those thoughts that say, “You’re not ready. You’re not good enough. You might fail.” You will learn how to stop them, challenge them and replace them with tools that actually work in real life.
You will also learn how to find your Orange Voice. The voice that speaks with clarity, confidence and calm. But before you can hear it, you must confront the Grey Voices. The voices that fill your mind with doubt, hesitation and harsh words. We have three practical tools that help you do this, including the 13 Step Defence.
This is the workshop that shows you how to silence them so the real you can finally speak and take action without fear.
