Programs

Vocate Programs are founded on relational trust, which means participants must be prepared to bring their whole and real selves. We slow down so we can listen deeply to ourselves, each other and the environments in which we are living and working. The programs draw on these elements to create a regenerative experience.

Reading, typically two seminal books; it's a bit like a book club.
A number of ½ day group sessions; it's a bit like a work group.
Online check-ins; to accommodate our reduced appetite for traffic!
A multi-day (3 night) gathering; it's a bit like a few days away with friends.

Better Facilitation

Effectively a masterclass for leaders wanting to take their facilitation practice to the next level.

This program is for leaders who want to improve their facilitation practice for more effective collaboration in meetings and workshops. Facilitation is essentially the skill that enables a leader to bring diversity together into cohesive thought and action, and is, in my view, an under-rated leadership competency.

This program includes:

Better Facilitation workshop manual. (unpublished) that outlines the mental models and practices that sit behind the design and implementation of good dialogue design and facilitation.
- 7 Tips for Designing and Facilitating Better Workshops.
- Social Technologies & Tools for Better Facilitation.
The Better facilitation Program will be designed as a series of workshops and coaching sessions.
Design will depend on the context of interested participants.

If you are interested in my support to improve your facilitation practice for you and/or your senior team, send me an email explaining your need and interest.
