WHAT PEOPLE SAY:

 “I have worked with Marguerite every week over the last year. She is leading and facilitating a group of people who are studying Transactional Analysis. Marguerite brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to each session.  I've lost count of the number of "aha moments" I've had, as she's recalling a relevant story from her past experience. Even when the topics are sensitive or uncomfortable, she never flinches and isn't afraid to help people to discover the real underlying issue. All this with compassion and understanding.  I would highly recommend her to lead or facilitate any group wanting to learn."    (S. Mathews)

"Thank you for the very professional manner in which you handled the two days – It was wonderful watching a consummate professional at work!!" (Dir. Old Mutual Private Wealth)

“The TA 101 has been such an incredible journey. Insightful, intriguing, liberating, even jaw-dropping at times, all in a kind, respectful, fun environment. Marguerite, our TA captain, has been exemplary, living and breathing the learnings, conveying them in such a relatable and absorbable manner, encouraging introspection, while providing support and guidance all along.” (I. Tosic)

“Attending the TA101 program with Marguerite Sacco, was an eye opener on the beauty and the art of the foundations of Transactional Analysis. I recommend this course for any professional who works in the field of relationships as a practitioner of any kind." (Mohamed Sharaf Eldin, Authentic Coaching Academy, Egypt.)

“I thoroughly enjoyed TA with Marguerite. The course is perfectly paced and allows plenty of time for discussion which creates a deeper understanding around Transactional Analysis. Marguerite is warm, insightful and creates wonderful opportunities to dive deep into our own scripts, discounts, drivers and transactions. I’ve found it very useful to add to my coaching approach and it was a great opportunity for some professional and personal development and reflection. Thank you Marguerite.” (M. McIlrath)

 “I attended Marguerite’s TA101 course over the last 12 weeks. I gave both enjoyed and learnt a tremendous amount over that time period. Marguerite holds a strong, safe space allowing the group to feel comfortable and to share openly and honestly. Her command of her subject is impressive. I will be attending TAF. Highly recommend! “ (E. De Crespigny)

"Marguerite was contracted by the SA Air Force to assist and enhance training at the Central Flying School flight training facility. She concentrated on facilitating inter-personal relationships and conflict resolution as part of the training model. She is the one person that has made the biggest difference in training methodology in the last decade at the school. The value of her input is (positively) visible in the younger Air Force generation and for a civilian to achieve that in a military environment is nothing short of amazing." (Capt. I. Duraan, SAAF)
