Get2thepoint facilitation: transform a meeting, change a world
Meeting together is a natural part of being human. Strains and struggles are part of being human too. This means that skill, care and attention is needed to really meet together well.
With over two decades of facilitation practice and as a Certified Professional Facilitator | Emeritus, I am ready to help you be the very best leader you can be as you lead your group, team, organisation – and thereby to create a better world for those you care about.
Working with you and alongside you, I can facilitate your meeting, conference or gathering large or small by designing a tailormade process which fits like a glove. Every meeting can take you one step closer to the better world you are trying to build.
Coaching through crisis: some time to think
As a leader you may feel overloaded and close to running on empty. There’s mess and muddle in our heads, we can neither think clearly nor act effectively. I know that place.
My coaching practice builds on the ‘generative attention’ I have learned during sessions with Nancy Kline of Time to Think over 14 years since our first meeting in 1999; in our coaching sessions, she helped me to discover and practice a courageous clarity of thinking, word and action.
My practice has been further enhanced by the wisdoms I have absorbed from the teachings of Thích Nhất Hạnh over two decades and more recently of the Presencing Institute and Thomas Hübl.
Engaged by the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations (ACEVO) since 2002, I have coached many hundreds of charity leaders through crisis (see quotes).
Drawing on both my professional and personal experience, I can help you see through the struggle of the past and present, so you can begin to see a way through to a better future. Virtual, in person, at short notice, one off sessions, several or more, UK or worldwide, whatever the challenge... it’s all possible.
Facilitated keynotes, podcasts and writing
If you are inspired, as I am, by the prospect of encouraging those who are ‘aspiring to be the good leaders who will sustain a decent, just and civil society, so we can all live together well for the foreseeable future’, you may like me to facilitate a session at your conference or gathering, be a guest on your podcast or write a piece for your newsletter.
Ask and let’s see what we can co-create.
Useful resources
Habits in our meetings and working relationships help each of us get through the day – but they also limit us. So let go of what is no longer helpful and learn new skills and ways of working. I hope these articles and videos will nudge your thinking and help you in your work in civil society.
