I want people and nature to thrive, right now and whatever the polycrisis brings next.
That’s why I help changemakers engage colleagues and stakeholders to make more progress, using approaches that are not only powerfully effective today, but also develop our collective capacity to navigate and address the unfolding ecological, political and economic uncertainties.
Event facilitation & programme design
Board, staff and stakeholders developing organisational strategy together
If you want the people you bring together to develop successful strategies, work plans, research programmes, funding proposals, etc – ask me about designing and leading engaging, effective and efficient events for you.
If you want to develop and deliver more impactful projects & programmes, whatever stage you're at from initial design, to review – ask me about guiding and training you, your team and collaborators.
Sharing experinces and insights at Netwalking for Changemakers in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh
If you want to engage your colleagues and stakeholders more confidently to build support and find allies – ask me about workshops to develop and practice your facilitation and engagement skills.
Sometimes you need something different: to connect with other changemakers, learn from their experiences and refresh yourself with new ideas and insights. If this sounds interesting, check out Thrivable Scotland events.
