Clean and Crafty Meetings

unusual in various ways!

This particular training was first delivered for 15 members of a London Adoption Panel in 2010.

There are, of course, specific outcomes, both predetermined and developed as the training progresses, and every aspect of the training offers opportunities to practice techniques that can be put to immediate use in the workplace.

However, there is no set agenda, no rigid structure into which delegates must be shoehorned, few case studies and no role-plays. The latter because everybody has enough real life drama to contend with, and because work related content of the exercises is determined by individuals’ engaged in the exercise.

The training is dynamic and organic, evolving from what is provoked or stimulated by issues or aspiration that people bring or discover along the way. 

Another fairly unusual aspect of the training is the attention given to celebrating Diversity by making it an explicit and intrinsic part of the process, rather than fleeting mention, covert or exclusive.

Every thing is predicated on the presupposition that every person involved in the training - including the trainer - is 50% responsible for every one-to-one, interpersonal transaction.

Crafty events are provocative, stimulating, can be frustrating and might be inspiring. Basic assumptions and limiting beliefs will be explored, and that can be very uncomfortable.

The training is both light-hearted and very serious and, whatever else, it will add a great deal to your current repertoire of listening, managing, communicating and influencing skills.
