There is a wealth of information and studies that suggest that the way we set goals has an important factor on how well we achieve them. If we can get into a great goal forming habit - then we’ll end up with more of our desires fulfilled! Important points often missed are:
- knowing what we’ll lose when we achieve our goals
- visualising what achieving the goal will be like
- checking the “ecology” of our goals
- how and when to involve other people
This workshop starts with some games and quickly gets onto the important components of setting goals. Participants work to create a mindmap of a goal and at the end will have a clear idea of why they are setting the goal, what it means to them, and how they will achieve it.

closely linked to coaching and compassionate communication is clean language. Developed by David Grove - it is a communication technique that encourages us to use metaphor and avoids the use of presupposing the expected answers.
What he discovered was the more he used Clean Language, the more clients naturally used metaphor to describe their symptoms. When Clean Language questions were then directed to the metaphors and symbols, unexpected information became available to the client, often with profound results. CleanLanguage.co.uk

So often we respond with anger when we receive criticism. Sometimes we lose our temper with someone who just doesn’t seem to understand what we’re saying.
A really valuable tool to develop is empathy. Once we can ‘put ourselves in our partner’s place’ (to use an Aikido term) - we can get closer to uncovering the needs that are driving their behaviour. Knowing what we need and then working to get those needs met is vital for healthy collaboration and communication.
This workshop aims to give people a taste of NVC, and how language patterns can be used in daily life to uncover our unmet needs.

“Since we cannot know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned.”
John Holt
Creativity is a vital and innate part of all of us. A powerful tool that can solve problems, inspire others, bring excitement to lessons.
- Why do so many people claim that they are not creative?
- Where and how do we use creativity?
- How and why do we block our natural creativity?
This workshop aims to answer these questions with games and discussions, and leave the participants with some new tools to use in everyday life.
