Facilitation is not only fundamental to our approach but is also our core business. Our approach within the four main areas of the business involves highly developed and honed facilitation skills. This enables us to offer a number of personal and professional development services that utilise these skills more directly.
Reflective Practice
We offer both individual and group Reflective Practice or Supervision for clinicians and supervision facilitators. This service is a particular specialism developed by Kate over 15 years of supervising individuals and groups across a number of different practice areas.
Providing this facility externally allows organisations to support specialist clinicians more effectively and to ensure that in-house reflective practice/supervision systems remain robust and effective.
We also offer consultation on setting up sound reflective practice/supervision systems within organisations to support best practice within professional services.
Action Learning Sets
Action Learning Sets are a powerful vehicle for achieving organisational and team objectives in a way that involves leaders and practitioners in self-directed development activity.
Learning Sets are generally made up of managers, leaders or practitioners and take the form of six group meetings scheduled over one year. They are most effective when managing change or new strategic direction in a service.
We also offer consultation and training (see course information) for setting up learning sets within organisations in a sustainable and safe way.
Away days
We facilitate away days, planning days and strategy meetings for teams and groups. This bespoke work requires thorough discussion and planning to ensure that the design of the day results in the desired outcomes. We are often involved on a regular basis (usually annually) to support team planning and this continuity has proven to support rigorous review and clarity of vision.
Conciliation
We are occasionally asked to support individuals or teams to manage conflict that is affecting performance or team morale. Our involvement is very time-limited in these instances and we intervene as little as possible, using an approach that supports the individuals involved to reach a solution. Our focus is on clear communication and the development of effective negotiation skills.
