Collective || Community
The experience of working collectively can be surprisingly powerful.
Organisations of all sizes and with different functions will benefit from working in cohesion. A group setting, online or in-person, provides a supportive means of learning from each other; sharing thoughts, knowledge, feelings and ideas.
The nuts and bolts…
1
Groups of six to ten people meet to discuss topics which are important to them, and/or the greater purpose of which they are part. Learning within a group can be easier than the intensity of a one to one experience, as individuals benefit from the reflections of group members on a chosen topic. Through these narratives the experiences of other group members are remembered and new ideas can develop.

My role as your facilitator holds a space of learning for people within a collective setting; making silence acceptable and honouring the stories shared. A community evolves through the intention to learn from each other, through individual growth and a stronger group identity. Difficult feelings can surface during times of discussion and change, my presence os a facilitator can allow you to relax and focus on the content of the conversation, knowing that I will support your team as it shifts and moves on.

The information contained within a group is completely confidential; this safe and supportive space allows new ideas to surface and creative solutions to emerge. The energy within a collective space honours the individuals, knowing that they will each learn according to their past experiences and current approach.
Collective Collaboration sessions can last from 90 minutes to a whole day. To decide on the duration, format, topic and frequency email to arrange an initial discussion.
