The Thinking Partnerships Programme
The Thinking Environment® is a radical and ground-breaking approach to developing others - whether individuals or teams. Focussed around a particular quality of listening called generative attention (which involves listening with both head and heart), it has been described as “the most respectful, gentle and generous way to work with people to facilitate change.”
(JP McIvor)
Recent developments in neuroscience are proving what Thinking Environment practitioners have known all along: that listening with generative attention is one of the best ways to enable potentially dramatic transformations in other people. And being listened to in this way might well be the most effective self-development tool there is.
The 3-day Thinking Partnerships Course is highly experiential, and teaches the skill of generative attention through direct experience of the heart of this work: one-to-one Thinking Sessions.
With only four to six participants, you will have Anne’s personal attention and the opportunity to develop the skills of being a “Thinking Partner” in an intimate, confidential setting, as well as the direct experience of gaining new ideas and insights for yourself as the “Thinker”.
With this course you have a tool for life.

A recent listener to The Coach's Journey podcast (where Anne was interviewed by master coach Robbie Swale) said:
"Since hearing this episode I have put into practice many elements of the Thinking Environment approach, many times, and in different contexts. And, as a result, I now have a wealth of evidence that….it really is true, good ideas can come from anywhere, from anyone, at anytime. We can ALL generate wonderful ideas when given the opportunity. When people feel truly listened to, safely and with care, they begin to cultivate deep belief in themselves which opens up such possibility for transformation."

The fee includes a one-to-one Thinking Session with Anne (online) before the course, 3 days of tuition and all materials. We begin with two days in person in a spa hotel in a beautiful setting at the edge of Richmond Park, overlooking a view of the River Thames that is, uniquely, protected by Act of Parliament.
The third day will be online on Zoom, a few weeks later. This allows time for reflection and practice with fellow participants before we meet again. For the in-person days all refreshments and lunch each day are included, as well as course reference materials to take away.
Staged payments or a bursary place are always available, if you are very keen to do the course but cost is an issue. Please do ask (in total confidence).
