The Thinking Environment in action
Hello and welcome. I’m Mitzi Wyman and I work with organisations to help them build motivated teams, generate the finest quality thinking, and deliver better outcomes for their staff and clients.
My work is underpinned by the Thinking Environment, an approach developed by author and educator Nancy Kline that helps people think superbly well together. Through a combination of training, coaching, speaking and facilitating conversations, I help others put the Thinking Environment into action, creating cultures where all can thrive.

What my clients say:
“Applying this in practice was a joy with immediate results.”
This was a fulfilling and ‘work changing’ session. Attendees ranged from chairmen of global organisations to senior regulators and those running smaller agencies. By educating us in how to create a ‘thinking environment’, which is not only inclusive but promotes fresh and clear thoughts, the meetings become more productive and engaging. Applying this in practice was a joy with immediate results.
“We felt a sense of collective ownership and achievement.”
Mitzi is truly fabulous at what she does. After working alongside her, our key management meeting was much more inclusive and productive. We discussed a number of ‘meaty’ issues that previously might not have reached the agenda. We felt a sense of collective ownership and achievement and left the meeting feeling much more optimistic as to what we could achieve.
“Not many can blend her artistic talent with detailed knowledge of governance.”
Mitzi is incredibly creative, well qualified and skilled in developing leaders, passionate about making the world a better place. Kind, insightful and supportive she is able to challenge deep-seated assumptions and create an environment where important but tricky issues can be addressed. Not many can blend artistic talent with detailed knowledge of governance. Working with her is a delight.
“This enables us to think through issues in a more collegiate and collaborative way.”
I am enormously grateful for the time, energy and skill Mitzi put into her session. I think it was very successful and will enable the individual presidents to think their way through the planning issues which they face in a more collegiate and collaborative way. I hope that in the future there will be other similar occasions when the need for free thinking, talking and listening can be used to the same good effect.
