As the pace, complexity and urgency of our world has increased, so has the need for people to live and work even more effectively and sustainably together whilst they face into challenging and difficult times. Having protected time to connect, reflect, share, listen and learn is essential to this - here’s just an overview of what I can support you with, and how.
Facilitated Meetings, Offsites & Awaydays
Whether for a few hours, a day, or more, the quality and outcomes of your meetings depends on the quality of the thinking and interactions that happen in them.
Whatever the reason for the meeting, from strategy development to staff consultation or creativity sessions, hiring a professional facilitator makes all the difference between an OK meeting and an excellent one, for all concerned.
- I'll carefully design your event in consultation with you and the relevant parties to engage everyone right at the start.
- I'll ensure we use every moment well, creating an inclusive environment that fosters engagement, trust, insight, creativity, connection, and commitment to action.
- I'll manage group dynamics expertly, neither brushing difficulties under the carpet or allowing them to impede the group's task and progress.
- People will also learn from the experience of being facilitated in this way and can take the skills into other meetings.
So if you want your meetings to be engaging and productive, let's talk!
Talks and Workshops
Emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and the desire & ability to collaborate are just some of the vital skills we need now.
