Sandi was amazing! The training she provided was so worthwhile and linked to everything we do and our everyday practice. She was extremely knowledgeable and the information provided was really meaningful and gave me a new outlook how I not only interact with the children in my care but everyone around me. 

The training was incredible!!!

This workshop was absolutely AMAZING!!! I would 100% recommend this to others especially those who work in childcare. I would be very interested in seeing other workshops by Phoenix Support! Myself and many others from my work place now utilise many different strategies and knowledge that we learnt from this workshop. This is a workshop that you are able to walk away from after learning and having a new perspective over many different things.

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, actually 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 mange it.

This course was amazing. It has only been a week, but I've seen some behaviour changes. I've processed their Cup needs quickly using the Phoenix Cups framework, which has helped with the situation. I've also changed my language a lot and spoken briefly to some educators about negative and manipulative phrases to positive ones. So glad I went. Can't wait to see the changes when I implement it in more detail and have all educators on board.

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…!!!

I LOVED when you touched on the importance of sending kids off to school being resilient! It often feels like there is so much pressure to get our 4s ready for all of the kindergarten academics that we push their social/emotional skills to the background. 

Thank you for the reminder that focusing on helping our littles navigate feelings and relationships and change and challenges is a great place to be!!! ❤

Hi everyone! I just finished watching the Phoenix Cups video, and I have tears...real tears. The part Barb and Sandi were discussing inclusion really got to me. I've been waiting so long to hear it from someone else how much we need to be trained further on children with special needs. I believe the whole concept of filling the cups is amazing and can work for me. The overall vibe with my coworkers will depend on how I explain this theory to them. Done in the correct manner, it could work for all of us, our center and most importantly our children! I can't wait to bring this new knowledge to my center on Monday!!

Thank you you Sandi. The 5 Cups is an easy to understand analogy that brings the idea of needs-based deficit to life in a positive light

 I only discovered Sandi Phoenix last year and how mind blowing it was to find such a positive approach to understanding a child’s behaviour and needs. It is also helps with self awareness and critical reflection. I love listening to her speak. Thank you for providing us all with so many wonderful speakers to expand our tool boxes.

Libby - Australia

 Sandi Phoenix you are amazing. Such deep critically reflective content. As educators we do the best we can with the knowledge we have. You have inspired me to implement with my team a culture of calling out our cup emptying practice. Then as a team reflecting on different ways of doing and being to lead change.

Christy - Australia

Transform Challenging Behavior Global Online Conference (2019)

Wow, this webinar gave me a lot to think about. I really really like this method to supporting challenging behaviour as it gives you a great starting point to try to figure out what “cup” the child might be trying to fill.

Tiff - Canada

This topic was new to me. I work with "fill your bucket" with my students and this made so much sense to me. Each person having these 5 buckets as a foundation, (mind blown) LOVED this session!

In attending a recent presentation by Sandi, I very quickly realised Sandi has developed a unique and simple-to-use model for analysing human behaviour. This model, The Phoenix Cups, is a true gift and Sandi shares it beautifully with educators in a way that empowers them to nurture each child’s behaviours from a new enlightened level of understanding. Only then the full value of The Pheonix Cups is realised, when educators easily turn their understanding into an action plan dedicated to making a difference to the lives of each child and in doing so they incidentally have their own cups filled. Now, who wouldn’t want that, it’s awesomely fulfilling! Congratulations Sandi and thank you for sharing.

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.

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!

Thank you Cathy for sharing!

"Wow! What a life/career changing professional development. I began my journey with Phoenix support undertaking the cups philosophy training. As educational leader and assistant director this positively changed the ways I worked and mentored other educators. As a centre we joined up to the UPS program. Their monthly webinars covered relevant and informative topics that I was able to use practically in my work environment. I was able to reflect on myself as well as using the new information to help guide my educators. The On call support was a BIG help for me as I was able to organise a time were the wonderful staff at Phoenix Support can directly help me and give me support and guidance on specific issues that I was having. I will be recommending Phoenix Support to anyone that will listen. Wonderful up to date knowledge, patient and understanding coaches. I learn something new every time I read, talk or undertake training with them."

"The cups program has been very useful as a tool for staff to reflect on their own responses and needs. I have stepped up as director three months ago and made some huge changes around behaviour strategies. The staff and even some of the families are starting to use the language of the cups and frame behaviour that way. We will continue to work on this as it is changing the whole tone and philosophy of our centre. Thank you, training has further cemented my commitment to this program!"
