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. There are many great programs out there that offer leadership development support for people looking to enhance their technical competency. They provide answers to the question, "What skills do I need to become a better leader?"
Vocate Programs offer opportunities to answer a different question. Increasingly complex operating environments challenge not only our technical capacities, but our sense of who we are as people, and what we're supposed to be doing in our roles of influence. Are we able to behave in ways that match our aspirations not just for what we want to achieve, but also for who we want to be? So Vocate Programs not only offer content to support our technical development, but spend time exploring the deeper question, "Who do I choose to be?"
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.
-
A multi-day (3 night) gathering; it's a bit like a few days away with friends.
To enhance our capacity to lead within the complex environments we call 'organisations', with an eye to the changing social context in which we are living.
For senior leaders who are keen to review and enhance their organisational leadership skills while considering their role as people of influence within their organisations and the broader society.

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 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 (unpublished) that outlines the mental models and practices that sit behind the design and implementation of good dialogue design and facilitation.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 is designed as a series of workshops and coaching sessions.
-
Specific design tailored to the context of interested participants.
