Who Are You Now?
Andrea Rippon is a person centred practitioner, taking authentic communication skills courses and workshops to the business, education, health and voluntary sectors.

Here are five reasons to contact her:
  1. Her courses improve morale: Individuals get the time to think about themselves and to reflect on their practice.  This is a tangible demonstation of support; which is  important in times of uncertainty.
  2. Her courses enable people to deal with change more effectively:
    By learning with others in a safe and supportive environment, individuals discover their strengths, work on areas that are more challenging and become more open to the possibility of change.  This is self-directed learning and everyone works at a pace that feels right for them. It is learning that lasts.
  3. Her courses help people work at their full capacity:
    Self awareness increases; self confidence and self esteem can grow and the result is that individuals brings more of themselves into their relationships, at work and at home. As Abraham Maslow said "You will either step forward into growth or you will step back into safety."
  4. Her courses encourage motivation and commitment: Individuals have the opportunity to reflect on the way they do things; giving them a chance to 'own' what they do and understand why they do it.  They can begin to feel empowered.
  5. Her courses encourage an increased motivation to collaborate and be more creative: Person Centred communication skills encourage relationships that are genuine and more meaningful.  By developing the skills of empathy and acceptance (of difference), individuals become open to new relationships and new ways of working  People begin to trust themselves and each other.  There is growth and everyone can reap the results.
