I have been working in facilitation for over 12 years and have a wide range of facilitation and mediation approaches. Whatever your organisation needs I have a creative, person-centred and fun-filled range of facilitation methods. I have a keen eye for detail and an appreciation that we all begin with Cecilia’s key statement :
‘I am different. You are different. We think differently’
[Dr Cecilia Clegg, mediator]
Facilitated meetings can often handle very difficult conversations well, areas where your charity or organisation might really need to talk things through, but a standard work-meeting isn’t hearing all the quieter voices. I can provide a framework to enable robust and honest conversation with integrity and inter-personal respect.
Ensuring everyone feels heard is fundamental to my approach which involves clarifying the details, and double-checking that the information gathered is representative of the voices present.
Sometimes working together in a non-work environment can create the space and freedom we need to discuss change or co-create change together. I can offer practical skills based facilitation either outdoors (community gardening or woodland walking) or using craft skills like sewing and paper craft.
Walking mindfully or walking and talking can be a great way to facilitate in-work thoughts and conversations in a non-work space. Facilitated by me, your charity or organisational walk and talk can bring real results to your organisations just from taking a fresh perspective.
For some charities or organisations walking and out door activities are not the best solution. A similar distraction but with focused conversation can be brought about by being creative together, through craft, sewing or up-cycling.
