About the Programme
The Thinking Environment® provides unique conditions for people to think independently, identify their own inherent resources, resolve their own dilemmas, and more. And in so doing, they come to appreciate that others they manage, lead, coach, teach, live with or love can do the same.
My Thinking Partnership is an inspirational course to develop your skills and presence in helping people to generate their own best thinking in ways they never thought possible. It’s full of fresh learning and deep insight into how the human mind works for itself when one person listens to another think (usually aloud), with the belief that the thinker is indeed highly capable - and will generate far better thinking, options, solutions and decisions than anyone else could ever do for them.
It will take your listening skills to new heights. It will help you to get out of the way. It will help you to listen so that others want to talk; in short you’ll be and feel connected in whole new ways to the experience of being wholly present for someone.
And it’s highly likely that you’ll make significant breakthroughs in your own life by experiencing what it’s like to truly think for yourself.

About You
You will find this supremely useful if you work with people and are interested in their development – so you might be a coach, mentor, teacher, line manager, leader, therapist, mediator, trainer, facilitator, entrepreneur, psychologist, coach supervisor, parent, or none of these at all!
The key thing will be that you’re likely to be someone who wants to learn how to create amazing conditions for people’s thinking to truly flourish.
