Training and support designed for anyone who has the responsibility for leading, steering or convening formal discussions.
It's something we all do, every single day. It's how we make better decisions, how we understand different viewpoints. It is how we form and maintain community, be that in the home, the neighbourhood or at work.
By enhancing our skills in leading discussions, we can navigate conversations more effectively and foster a sense of understanding and cooperation within our teams and communities.
Consultation and/or coaching support for designing and delivery of 'Town Hall' style engagement meetings.
Let's face it these events can quickly go sideways! It's not just a matter of turning up and answering questions; bad design leads to poor communication and misunderstandings. Without careful preparation, the purpose of the meeting can be lost in the noise, leaving all involved feeling frustrated or disheartened.
Designing for discourse considers the specific purpose of the meeting, the nature and form of desired outcomes and, most importantly the skills required of the chair, convener or facilitator.
We worry about public speaking but forget that our most influential words tend be those we find ourselves saying day to day.
An everyday orator recognises the power of words, not just in the impact they have on others but in the way they shape their own reality. It's about fostering understanding, building connections, and creating a sense of community.
This newsletter shares notes on how to be an everyday orator. (Due March 2025)
