Good meetings are essential if we are to think, live and work together productively and to build cultures where care flourishes.
Research confirms what many of us already know: meetings don’t often bring out the best in us! Yet all meetings have the potential to be energizing, meaningful, and even transformative.
Whether meetings are for sharing updates, solving problems, making decisions, or sparking new ideas, whether for one to one conversations or large groups, their success always depends on how well people can think, feel, engage, and contribute. Where everyone knows they matter.
That’s why I’m excited to once again offer my 3-hour online workshop where we explore how to create the space for productive, caring cultures to thrive. You’ll learn how to:
Foster the kind of attention that generates new thinking
Create an environment of equality, collaboration, trust and care
Encourage discussions that spark fresh ideas and insights
Help people to express and listen to emotions, so vital for wise decisions
Create a calm environment where people don't need or want to compete
Focus differently so you use the precious meeting time well
Take these ideas beyond meetings to nurture thinking, caring cultures.
By shifting the focus from structure and content to the conditions that allow people to think and contribute their best, we can not only transform meetings but the way we live and work together.
This workshop on Zoom is underpinned by the principles and practices of the Thinking Environment, which is also known as Time to Think. You’ll leave with some inspiring ideas and actions that can make a massive difference, in some cases, instantly.
And if you’re thinking of going on a first level Thinking Environment course like the Thinking Partnership or the Foundations of Facilitation but aren’t sure if it’s right for you - come along to this 3 hour session to experience it, find out more, and leave with some skills and tools that you can use anyway.
