Space to Think: Voicing Possibilities

Join us for an online event where we provide a space to think, share perspectives and ideas about your future, ignite creativity and accelerate success. Taking place on the 2nd Tuesday of each month; Tue 11 February, Tue 11 March, Tues 8 April, Tue 13 May, all at 12:30 PM GMT+1 (British Summer Time), these events offer a unique opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions using a range of research based methodologies.

Each event is a unique experience. When we ran this in 2024 attendees commented on the added value of attending two or more of the events. If you can attend all four it is a great investment in yourself. You can bring your breakfast or lunchtime coffee, your afternoon tea or evening drink of choice.

A space to think inspired by the quotation:-

" Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

What is the space about? It is a curated 1.30 hour session. A space to think about what is and might be possible. I will facilitate the session to ensure all voices are in the virtual room.

We will loosely follow a five stage Voicing Possibilities process:

Dream big - explore what makes your heart sing and how to tap into the source of your energy.

Discover possibilities - analyse what really matters to you and what might be possible when you achieve all or part of your dream.

Define your strengths - examine the skills or values you like to use because they make you smile and produce results.

Deal with frustration - discuss ways to overcome obstacles.

Decide what next – how to navigate your dreams forward, one small, significant step at a time. And, decide what or who can support your plans.

In preparation for this event, you might like to take your thoughts for a walk. As you walk simply think about this question: " Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" You definitely do not need to have an answer. All I am asking is that you notice what happens when you ask the question. If you have time, think about what inspires you.

Our aim is to create a safe and inclusive space where participants can freely express their thoughts and ideas. Through interactive sessions, we will delve into what really matters as you plan for your future.

Expect space to think, and collaborative activities that will stimulate your mind and encourage you to voice your own possibilities.

Whether you're an experienced leader, a professional, mature student ready to embark on a new venture or simply curious about how to deepen your understanding of what really matters for you, how to tap into your strengths and accelerate success, this event is for everyone.

Don't miss this chance to expand your horizons, connect with a diverse community, unleash your creative mind to plan for the future.

Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more updates on how to join this exciting online gathering. I look forward to seeing you there!
