Looking for a new approach to leading and facilitating groups?

A simple yet powerful truth is that the quality of everything we do depends on the quality of the thinking we do first.  

A Thinking Environment is a dynamic and empowering framework in which active listening becomes as important as speaking. An environment in which all are treated ‘equal as thinkers’ and one in which everyone is encouraged to take their thinking to the cutting edge. Creating this for groups will improve thinking and creative solutions, but also drive strategic decision making.

This training will introduce you to this framework using elements of immersive learning as well as hands-on learning by doing.

The training will be delivered online using zoom. 

What will I gain?

PRACTICAL TOOLS for transforming groups to generate fresh thinking and better outcomes.

NEW UNDERSTANDING for group process and neutralising negative power dynamics.

ADVANCED SKILLS in facilitating, communicating, and getting the best from others.

HANDS-ON-EXPERIENCE through giving it a go, immersing yourself and getting to know others
