Facilitator
Make your meetings work for you - whether in person or virtual getting a meeting right can save so you so much in time and money.
I can help you design a meeting that will get the results you want. I can facilitate that meeting to keep everyone engaged, refreshed and productive.
Whether it is a one-off workshop or a series of related events, keeping them focussed and fun with the right kind of support makes all the difference. You can take part but relax and engage – leave the management to me.
I have facilitated meetings for over 100, run team building workshops, board level strategy days & Open Space among others. The fun stuff is working together to make sure we reach the outcome you want.
"Liz facilitated a workshop for JNCC, hosted with the Scottish Government. Her contribution was fantastic and started long before the event, advising us on how to design, describe and publicise it. On the day she took a leading role and was constructive and attentive, making sure everyone was included with charm and tact. Informal feedback from participants complimented her work.” - Vicky M
Facilitator Booking Options
-
Facilitation sessions are for groups. These can be quite structured events created with you or I can host Open Space which allows people to develop their own contributions towards an agreed vision for the session. For a one-off session - a day or half day in the room - costs will include up to two days planning time. I can talk through with you what might work best for you
-
Typically choosing this option means you will have a clear goal for a programme of work with a team over a period of time, possibly with some work to progress in between meetings. Supporting a series of sessions will include costs for planning time. I can talk through with you what might work best for you.
“I bring a calm authority to the space that can help build trust and confidence.”
Mentor
I can be on your side, someone to talk things through with. I can share my experience of a busy professional life to board level to help support your career development. With qualifications from Newcastle University on life coaching and performance coaching for business I have a number of years’ experience in life coaching and mentoring.
I am a marketing communications strategist by profession and can help you with your personal branding and self-promotion. I also bring a wealth of experience and advice to share with you after many years’ experience working at senior management level and running a high performing communications team.
As a mentor and business coach I offer one to one tailored support. This can be through facilitated away days or regular sessions over a period of time.
“Liz has been an exceptional mentor to me. Her kindness, willingness to share her own experiences and wisdom while listening closely, are all qualities that I’ve learned from.” -Soti C
Mediator
Resolution with dialogue and dignity.
Trained by the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) means I can help take the strain out of conflict through calm dialogue. With respect and dignity everyone has the chance to be heard. Preparing the space and time to guide people to a workable compromise can result in better future for everyone concerned.
