Facilitation
As a facilitator working with organisations in both the private and public sectors, I am currently deep diving into:
-
Trust,
-
Systems for giving and recieving feedback
-
Having hard conversations
-
Brave Spaces
-
Leading with compassion,
-
Understanding Personal & Professional values
-
Creative Team Development,
-
Deep listening and Coaching Cultures.
My skill set lies in building inclusive, compassionate & courageous communities and cultures, with particular experience in; Self-awareness, Coaching & Coaching cultures, Creativity & Innovation and Courageous Conversations.
I support leaders and teams to think, and do differently, to encourage the ability to be agile and creative in their thinking.
I am accredited to deliver Affina team assessments, and can offer ongoing support with my Exeuctive Coaching skills & qualification.
I often centre my work around FUN, PLAY & CREATIVITY. Reasons to have creative and fun sessions for workplace colleagues are numerous, below are some:
Innovation - To allow humans to innovate they need: Space, Time, safety (to experiment and make mistakes), support, mindfulness/relation, creativity and fun/play
Dimensions needed for a culture that supports innovation are:
Risk, Resources, Knowledge, Goals, rewards and recognition, tools and method, relationships – creative thinking does all of these things, therefore group activities that support a change in paradigms about creativity are an important tool for the workplace.
Importance of fun:
Discovery, collaboration, sense of group worth, question conventional order, shared narrative, risk, form of emotional energy, failure, adventure, commitment, connections, communal identification, humour, teasing, play, imagining & enacting new repertoires, games.
‘The job of the facilitator is to model behaviour and join in where appropriate. When a facilitator gets involved rather than standing off, this can make the participants more at ease'
(Kavanagh, Clark-Murphy and Wood 2011)
