Listening for Decision-Making Workshops Series

 

 

 

What I do?

 

I work with groups of people in organisations, companies, families, schools, offices, places of worship, and any group willing to engage and steadily come to trust the process.

 

I design and facilitate workshops on “Listening for Decision-making” that enables living thoughts to arise through the group as a container, supported by a guided 3-step process, that you can then use for conducting decision-making meetings with others.

 

 

Why I offer this work?

 

Over the last 45 years I have struggled to communicate in ways that enabled me to feel truly heard by others whatever their culture, gender, relationship to me, or perceived authority role. I was talking and no one was listening. It turned out that I was not listening to myself. Listening wasn’t something I was taught to do at school or at work.

My parents struggled to listen to each other and to themselves, as is the archetypal situation in society's symbolic 'parental' systems. So, through many trials, I found my way to why listening is so vital for our time. In fact, for me, it is the key to peace inside and around us.

​

Over several years, I learned to listen through my soul, utilising all my senses, which helped to refine and purify my senses. I learned to discern the nuances of my thinking. I learned to be with the feelings where needed and take action where needed.

​

The result was that I could listen to others without speaking, and they would feel heard on a deeper level. In some cases, people would arrive at surprisingly truthful personal insights, all by themselves. When you are truly listening in freedom and leaving the other fully free - you will know.

 

 

How I work?

 

Workshop series are designed to suit your timings and group needs. The series can be led online with break-out rooms or in-person.

Homework practices are encouraged with family, colleagues, and friends to develop the courage to listen.

​

Groups can range from 4 to 100 in a room, where I will call in colleagues to work with me.

We will look at the following aspects together with self reflection and self-direction being the key to change:

Current views and experiences of Listening and Speaking.

Holding inner questions whilst Listening and Speaking.

Postures and Facial expressions  in Listening and Speaking.

Thinking in Listening and Speaking.

Feelings in Listening and Speaking.

Incremental Adjustments.

Perception in Listening and Speaking.

 

 

*Where people are finding it challenging to listen through words, small guided arts processes and gentle rhythmical movements can support the relearning of verbal and spatial communication.
