At every moment in work and life we are learning. Every experience gives us the opportunity to gather important skills and knowledge that can help ourselves -- and others -- to be more successful in the future. But how do you uncover and activate this knowledge?

There is a power in our stories of experience and action -- whether it be personal or the story of an organisation, community or initiatives -- that can be gained when we make collective sense and meaning of it together.

Through the simple, yet powerful method of Collective Story Harvest, you will:

● Learn how to change what you’ve experienced in the past into wisdom for the future
● Explore a simple, potent method for working with a group to find the gold in the stories of your organisation, team, project, community or initiative
● Dig into the stories around you to find out where you can strategically invite others to help you make the most of the learning you’ve gathered
● Create a plan for your next action steps

This is a very hands on and active session. You will walk away with a powerful tool and an action plan for how to use it.

Who is this for?    Leaders who want to:-

● reap the full benefit of what’s been learned through projects and initiatives
● unleash the power of the teams they work with
● expand their skillset of dealing with complexity
● Create a plan for your next action steps

This is a very hands on and active session. You will walk away with a powerful tool and an action plan for how to use it.
