Facilitation
of complex change requires creative approaches and the experience to use them
appropriately. At Sporting Tactics we are confident in providing support that
gets to the heart of organisational issues. Our coaching and facilitation enables
profound and lasting shifts, based on the insights that come from new perspectives.
Providing experiential workshops, in particular with horses
Facilitation of meetings using creative techniques such as ‘open space’
and story telling
Individual coaching for ‘Presence’ and management congruity
Providing
short term ‘Interim’ senior management resource
Facilitating Action Learning and experiential workshops
The
core proposition of our work is of helping people to learn through their own experiences
rather than teaching them. This is an 'Action Learning' and Action Research led
approach, which links in to our work with complexity and systems thinking. This
approach is ideally suited to workshop themes such as building stakeholder relations,
understanding team dynamics and the development of personal influence.
For such workshops to be effective requires subtle facilitation skills and the
ability to create and hold a 'safe space' for learning that may involve a range
of emotions. Our facilitators are chosen for their sensitivity to change and skill
in the use of metaphor as well as having appropriate commercial experience. Their
congruence and ability to walk the talk is notable, as the following comments
illustrate.
We have developed a specialism in workshops
with horses. Due to our exceptional professional
reputation and internationally recognised qualifications in this area, these are
available worldwide. In the UK we most frequently hold these near Guildford, Oxford
and Bristol. We are delighted to extend the range of facilitators able to work
experientially by offering workshops and training in this approach, and for those
students, the opportunity to assist on workshops
.
Facilitation of meetings using other creative techniques
Complex
and creative topics also benefit from new ways of group working such as ‘Open
Space’ and ‘World Café’ - we can undertake the setting up and facilitation of
these approaches. We have close associations with organisations that specialise
in experiential facilitation using sailing, rock climbing, being in the great
outdoors, as well as the indoor comfort of storytelling, clowning and working
with ‘constellations’. Just contact us to discuss your interests.
Liz Morrison has significant
experience as a personal coach, mainly working with professional sports people
and entrepreneurs. She works with beliefs, values and identity to support new
depths of personal understanding and motivation. She bases her approach on ICF
principles, supported by NLP, clean language and ‘Presence’. This
is the model in the latest book by Peter Senge, Joseph Jaworski, Otto Scharmer
and Betty Sue Flowers. It outlines a profound, values-led understanding to creating
significant change at individual, team and organisation level. It has been integrated
into our approaches, and we are happy to discuss its subtler points.
Providing
short term ‘Interim’ senior management resource
Following
Action Research principles, a senior resource operating alongside employees and
stakeholders can enable exploration of issues from the inside. This enables more
understanding of the organisational dynamics and issues to more fully support
the change process and development of appropriate strategies. It is possible to
provide resource on this basis for some projects.
