I provide bespoke training and facilitation for universities, research institutes, startups, charities, and other organisations. For groups, teams, colleagues, and cohorts in your organisation, workshops might be a stand alone development activity, or woven into your wider development programmes. Let’s go beyond just ‘training’ people, and equip them to solve problems, enhance relationships, and work more effectively, all the while growing themselves.

I specialise in the way individuals understand themselves and relate to others, so I offer workshop topics in these two broad themes.

Participants on my programmes have said that they have experienced personal and organisational impact by: growth in confidence, making better choices, working to their strengths, solving problems more creatively, and making the most of personal and external resources available (and often creating their own).

I cover a range of different topics, often at the request of clients – so please ask if you don’t see what you want here. Here are some examples:

Self-management:

  • Boost your resilience and manage stress
  • Deploy your strengths and values in making decisions
  • Wrangle your workload
  • Navigate change and uncertainty
  • Tools for handling perfectionism and imposter phenomenon
  • Cultivate your leadership identity

Interpersonal:

  • Assertive communication skills
  • Communicating your research to non-specialists
  • Ditch the agenda: make every meeting worthwhile
  • Negotiating skills
  • Resolving conflict
  • Stop networking; start connecting (with other human beings)

Contact me to arrange a conversation about creating the programme you want for your people.

My workshop philosophy

My development programmes are evidence-based, intensive, experiential, and participatory, drawing on the psychological underpinnings of how we learn and develop ourselves. All sessions are conducted in a safe, confidential, and highly supportive environment.

It is rare that any two participants bring the same agenda or objectives to these topics, so I design programmes to offer opportunities for experimenting with a range of models on the topic. Learners are enabled to take ownership of their learning path: to choose their own degree of challenge in the activities, and apply them to their individual goals and context.

Because of this, participants leave with a deeper understanding of their thought and behaviour patterns, and make better choices in their development.

Workshop programmes may be delivered online or on site. What works in the training room doesn’t always translate to a digital environment, so my virtual and in-person workshops on the same topic will differ. The learning outcomes, activities, and the participant experience are optimised for the mode of delivery. This means that however I deliver your workshop, your participants will be getting the best possible learning experience.
