Nancy Kline on working with Mitzi
"Mitzi inspires me, over and over again. When I need hope for humanity, I turn to her. She reaches into the core of both the good in society and the causes of its pain. She understands what it takes to transform a situation, a team, an organisation into the finest version of itself. She manages to blend humility with confidence, detail with scope, leadership with autonomy. Her expertise and her warmth are compelling. I trust her completely. And I am grateful for her in this world."
Thinking Environment Foundation Course
If you lead teams, run meetings or facilitate groups, this two-day course gives you practical ways to create the conditions for independent thinking. You experience Nancy Kline’s Ten Components and practise Thinking Pairs, Dialogue, Rounds and Open Discussion, with wisdom, compassion and courage at the heart of how you lead.
Includes the course handbook, a one-hour thinking session with Mitzi on completion, and a certificate authorised by Nancy Kline.
"This is one of the most powerful and inspiring courses I have ever attended. Delivered with grace, compassion and skill, Mitzi is the perfect facilitator."Kay Wren, L&OD Lead, Surrey Heartlands ICS
Dates, availability and open-course fees are confirmed when you enquire. In-house scope and fees are agreed separately.
Thinking Partnership Course
For coaches, practitioners and leaders who work with individuals. A small group of no more than six learns the Thinking Partnership Session: generative attention and Incisive Questions, so people can say what they really think and know they'll be listened to.
Includes a one-to-one thinking session with Mitzi before the course, resources between sessions, video recordings, and a certificate.
"The Thinking Partnership Course was one of the best learning experiences I have had in the last 30 years of training. It creates an environment where you have the luxury of being listened to in a way that allows you to go on a profound journey of discovery about who you are and where you want to be."Professor Deborah Christie
