reflect and recharge

A two day residential workshop

 A two day residential workshop -2018 dates to be announced

Too many meetings? No time to think? Bombarded by emails? At a crossroads?

If you need space to develop your ideas, tackle new situations or challenges and successfully recharge , this workshop is for you.

Reflect and Recharge

Reflect and Recharge, in this lovely rural setting,  aims to put the wind back in your sails. You will have time to:

Reflect on your journey and ponder where next
Explore ways to navigate transitions
Use resilience ideas to strengthen your resolve
Share with others and tap into their experience
Be quietly on your own

A tried and tested format

How many times have you heard yourself,  a friend or colleague say ‘If only I had the time?’

In order to be creative, solve problems, produce new  ideas or prepare for change or retirement, it helps to take time to reflect on new directions and opportunities.

Reflect and Recharge offers the chance to explore where you are now, consider future  options and decide next steps. With an emphasis on self-direction, we will use open space, group discussion and light touch facilitation to share experiences and ideas in a small group working at a similar pace.

Who is the workshop for?

Anyone in the private, statutory or voluntary sectors who  would relish time out from their daily demands to refocus on options.

As a Trustee of the Sussex Beacon, Tricia worked with the management team individually and together, and with the Board of Trustees to help us think through our strategies and policies and to plan our long-term objectives. I was particularly struck by Tricia’s ability to work with people at different levels across the organisation, to bring people together and get them to work together, and her skill at drawing out issues from a mass of information provided at meetings and at workshop events and making this information coherent and, in particular, useable.

I have worked with Tricia Wass for more than 8 years and during that time we’ve worked on a variety of projects together. The joy of working with Tricia is that she truly listens to what you want to achieve and helps to facilitate this in order to achieve the organisation’s objectives. Tricia is constantly aware of the changing agenda and I have found her always able to provide the support and facilitation we have needed”

It’s a joy to work with Tricia. She has facilitated our annual staff and board away day for the last three years. It’s great to have a safe pair of hands guiding us through policy debates and various action plans. She is such a positive influence on our work. She‘s very much part of the Shape family!
