I provide education, training and personal development programmes that give people the space to reflect on who they are now, whilst exploring what they might become.
Better at managing relationships (at home or work)?
Improve their listening and responding skills?
Get the most out of being a team player?
Increase self esteem and confidence?
Leading by example?
and so much more
Self awareness is a key component of my work and through using the group process, individuals can learn together from experience (Kolb, 1984, 1995). Learning is self discovered (Rogers, 1952, 1969), self-initiated and relevant to the individual. This is learning that lasts.
I work with you (the person who commissions the workshop) to understand your aims and objectives and then, by providing a supportive, safe and challenging environment, work with the group to encourage that learning to take place. I have a track record of learning objectives being met.
You either choose an existing programme or I can tailor make a course specifically for you. I can also draw together a skilled team of professionals, depending on the expertise you require.
Your Own Story
'You need learning and you need wisdom, these two separate things.' That's what the Teacher said first, by way of reply. 'You get learning by listening to stories and reading books, and talking and thinking about them. Yes, I can recommend some books. But it's more important to listen to stories than to read them. Hearing and listening, I assure you, are more important than reading and studying.'
'And wisdom?' asked the young man. 'How do I attain wisdom?'
'You get wisdom' replied the Teacher, 'by listening to your own story. You are a book and you have to read and study the book which is you.' The young man looked puzzled.
'And it's difficult, very difficult' continued the Teacher. 'Because every day there's a new page, and every moment there's a new word, in the book which is you.'
