We create clarity from complexity dialogue from dissonance actions from aspirations
Our Approach
We facilitate planning sessions, decision-making sessions, and evaluation sessions for groups in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors; where we create a comfortable environment for people to discuss issues, exchange views and agree on actions.
Our approach is to work with all shades of opinion within a group, to encourage discussion, honest expression, respect for other opinions and to create an atmosphere whereby all perspectives can be included.
Ensuring Clarity and Substantive Outcomes

- Interpretive: putting other words on a contribution or helping someone to find the words to express what s/he means.
Cathartic: encouraging and modelling the expressions of feelings and emotions as they emerge by asking a question such as: ‘And was that a very painful time?’
Evaluative: assessing what someone says, providing a statement of value in relation to behaviour, such as: ‘That seems to have worked well for you.’
Sharing: encouraging the sharing of past and present feelings and those about future events, with a question such as: ‘Does anyone else feel this way?’
Directive: guiding members as they explore their feelings and begin to express them, such as: ‘Let’s take a few moments to gather our thoughts and think about how this event has affected the group.’
