I love working with groups
I bring the same heart, intention, skill, creativity and honesty to my workshop, training and meeting facilitation work with groups, teams and organisations - something I’ve been doing for nearly a decade in the UK and internationally, online and in person.
I facilitate with groups that want introspection in their processes, who are willing to work in the unknown - ambiguity and uncertainty - who see the value of engaging with the heart, body and intuition, along with the head, and who believe in and live dynamic co-creation.
-
Designing workshops, trainings and other group learning experiences with a "yes, and..." mentality and nearly 10 years of experience facilitating a diverse range of communities, teams, organisations and groups around the world.
-
A deep understanding of group and relationship dynamics - spoken and unspoken - with the ability to illustrate unique, key insights and clear, practical take-aways, learnings and next steps.
-
The knowing and ease to peacefully and compassionately sit with pain, conflict, uncertainty and difficult emotions to foster safety and to allow the group to process, integrate and learn from the feelings and dynamics that are present.
-
Through the lens of the human experience and relationships, my emphasis is on co-creating situations that bring people closer to themselves, to their purpose and values, and ultimately to their group, team, organisation, community, and wider world around them.
The groups
Professional
Consulting organisations - for-profit, non-profit, public sector, or social enterprise - I offer a comprehensive array of services including specialised training sessions (coaching and mentoring, nonviolent communication, etc), engaging away-days and team meetings, and the creation of meaningful and useful missions and visions.
My focus is on facilitating well-designed, effective and deeply connected sessions that foster safety, collaboration and clarity. Below, you can find a selection of organisations I’ve had the privilege of working with.
Personal development
In a retreat and personal development setting, I facilitate a variety of engaging workshops, immersive multi-day programmes, and ongoing facilitation of private personal development groups. These experiences include heart-centred leadership training, meaningful work with men, and other reflective and creative group expressions that serve as powerful tools for personal, spiritual, and emotional growth and learning. Each session is designed to deepen understanding and foster a supportive community for all participants, encouraging a profound journey toward self-discovery and transformation.
Community
I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of community groups from San Francisco to Bangladesh to London and beyond on a range of projects, from basic public works and infrastructure to improved health, social and housing systems and services. My work has been focused on nurturing community cohesion and fostering deeper connections and trust among members, enhancing participatory and democratic decision-making processes and encouraging collaborative co-creation, as well as boosting creativity, and cultivating momentum for meaningful change within these communities.
A few specific ways I can be of service
-
Why | Culture and intention in our relationships is the indicator of behaviour in groups and teams. NVC gives us a north star and practical guide to connect deeply, build empathy, and strengthen relationships, trust and safety through honesty.
What | This transformative training gives you very specific principles for healthy relationships, and a clear 4-step process to effectively handle disagreement, express needs and navigate challenging internal and external landscapes.
Customisable | Tailored sessions are available. -
Why | Emotional intelligence is foundational for deep connection, effective communication and teamwork, leadership, and navigating interpersonal challenges. Emotional mastery precedes trust, peace, clarity, honesty and wellness.
What | Through insights and practical tools to build a deeper intimacy with our emotional realities we utilise our hearts, intuition and imagination to understand what is at the root of our difficult emotional cycles, how we can redefine our relationship to those emotions, and what we can do to choose different, more healthy and collaborative, responses and behaviours.
Customisable | Tailored sessions are available.
-
Why | We are often not taught how to truly be present, hold multiple truths at once, listen without judgement, ask dynamic open ended questions, and let go of controlling outcomes for other people, and yet these are several foundational keys to mature, healthy, and collaborative relationships. Not to mention fostering deep trust and safety, learning, belonging and creativity.
What | A training for groups to coach and support one another to foster a culture of continuous learning, empathy and care. Along with practical coaching frameworks, this is an opportunity to establish a powerful and caring intention for communication and problem solving.
Customisable | Tailored sessions are available.
-
Why | To run meetings, workshops and gatherings well is challenging - it’s actually quite complex. And all it takes is a few simple ideas, intentions and tools to move boring, inefficient meetings dominated by few to a dynamic, creative and effective session where all voices can be included.
What | Mindset and simple tools to move groups effectively through true co-creation. Integrating group psychology, family constellation dynamics, and practical facilitation tools - this training is designed to experientially guide you to an intention and practice of leading genuine group participation.
Customisable | Tailored sessions are available.
-
Why | We are head-centric as a culture and society, which leaves us often out of balance, as individuals and as leaders. We need to find ways consciously to rebalance ourselves to be better listeners, more empathic, more honest, and to make better decisions, for ourselves, and with and for those around us.
What | In this training, we build greater self-knowing as the foundation for powerful and compassionate leadership, and we practically connect with our hearts to rebalance how we listen, how we understand the system we’re living and working in, and how we lead ourselves and groups through change, conflict, strategy and design.
