Getting to work
With you
Let's build your capacity to work with, lead and be in front of groups. I can support you to create more productive meetings, hone your vision, create your compelling question, host your next conversation. I can also help you find and refine your personal and organisational stories and build your storytelling ability.
With your team
Take your teamwork from ordinary to extraordinary. When an entire team has the capacity to host and harvest conversations that matter a significant shift happens. People step up. There is more cohesion. I've worked with teams in all types of organisations, like corporates, NGOs and the European institutions and I currently support the IKEA Facilitator Team.
With your system
Is it time for a system upgrade? Experience what it's like to work across roles and functions and find meaning together. That might look like an event, a series of engagements, a targeted learning package or even an in-house Art of Hosting training.
Find your focus
Uncover powerful questions
Find and hone clear, strategic questions that open the door to the future, spark innovation and provoke new perspectives. Discover how questions can enhance and extend the impact of your vision and purpose as an individual, community or organization. Work with questions to deepen connection, create collective understanding, build wisdom. Enhance this key leadership and life skill.
Bring stories to life
A compelling story is more than a brand -- it is the lifeblood of any community. It can create a more authentic and vibrant work or community culture or put a fresh focus on your personal or collective story of leadership, purpose, vision or impact. From this foundation, I support you to put together the practices that encourage and invigorate your team and stakeholders into engaged, sustained action.
Host transformation
I support you to put together the practices that encourage and invigorate your team, organisation and stakeholders into engaged, sustained action. From team meetings and conferences to longer term process design and participatory facilitation training, I work with you to host transformation into sustainable practice. I am a highly skilled group host with 30 years experience.
Coach, mentor, thought partner
Working alongside you as coach, mentor or thought partner on a one-to-one or a one-to-many basis. We might:
- Sharpen your story. Work on the best way to tell it.
- Find the questions that lead to innovation.
- Plan and/or host your important meeting.
- Support you as a leader. Work more effectively together as a team.
- Create systemic change and connection.
I have a proven track record as a strategic counsel, design support and sounding board either in-person or virtually working with all levels of organisation from community groups and NGOs to corporate structures and the highest levels of government.
