We can offer ‘bite-size’ experiences, bespoke to your needs, that start from 3 minutes.  These are all based on our tried and tested tools and sessions and adapted where appropriate to best suit your needs, eg:

• Pre-meeting sessions that ground participants and create fertile conditions

• Registration or lunchtime/ tea-break speed 1-to-1 coaching opportunities

• Meeting set-ups to create agreed working frameworks and alliances

 

Our bite-size option can pop up at events on a scale from 1 to 1000.  They compliment each other well for an easy and tasty mezze platter to share; can provide a tantalising starter and desert at the beginning and end of your day; or a good appetiser to one our more hearty main courses on offer.  They are each designed to create the conditions for good participation, inclusion, co-production, deep democracy, creativity and change at both an individual and system level.  Our menu is constantly growing and evolving as we learn, test and develop new and effective tools.  The best way to find out what flavour will best work for you is to get in contact with us.

Using colour pens and paper,  physical movement, tangible objects or space to explore any given issue through paying attention to personal metaphors.  The subconscious mind does not have language: it communicates with the conscious mind through visions and symbols, and during sleep in dreams.
