Narrative Practice Workshop for Coaches - Drawing out your client's story
Audience: Coaches 
CPD day for qualified coaches​
 

One of the central premises of narrative practice is that the way in which we narrate our experiences has a big impact on how we feel and think, on how we see ourselves and our relationships, and how we relate to other people. We look at the neuroscience and emotional registers that support this in current theory. The workshop is structured to deepen our understanding of how to move clients from the static perception of personal narrative to one that is dynamic and relational allowing them to tell their story in a new way. It is an interactive and practical day in which we will learn more about ourselves as well as taking away practical tools to use with clients such as: the extended use of their metaphors, re-authoring conversations, and narrative approaches to time. Here are some of the comments from previous delegates:

• “This has renewed my confidence in inviting the client's story of their history”

• "Well-paced day. Lots of fabulous experiential learning”

• "A warm and welcoming safe space for people to explore as far as they wanted"

• "Imaginative, thought provoking, enabling”they were willing. A gentle and restorative day."​

Narrative Workshop for Leaders - Storytelling for Influence

Audience: Leaders and Senior Managers

Narrative Process to enable deeper reflection on an issue

​​​​​

​My aim is to get leaders to really understand the power of using story in their work, reflect and gain insight into a specific issue and to enable them to get their message across authentically and with impact. My recent clients have been the Mental Health Implementation Team creating an Open Dialogue conference in a London-based NHS Trust, a Tech SMT at Cazoo,  senior leaders at NATO, Essex County County Comms Team, the Grenfell Tower NHS community team, Grenfell Unite pressure group and Excel Nightingale COVID hospital team.

As a narrative practitioner I explore people's connections to their own stories and to others. It is these connections that determine who and how we are in the world. It is closely linked to team coaching and the work I deliver for Ambito Partners.
