communication program with a Senior Management team from China.
The unique feature of our harassment, bullying, contact officer and diversity workshops is the application of a Coaching tool and methodology, called The Play of Life. This process has received high profile international recognition and acclaim and is at the forefront of contemporary relational management methods.
The essence of the Play of Life is that it turns complex, cluttered issues and ideas into simple, clear and visual representations. Guided by the facilitator, the participants gain clear insights into their current situations both organisational and personal, what they want to achieve, their goals and objectives and practical steps for how to get there. It simplifies the issues by depicting them in a visual three-dimensional way. The process recognises that many of the strategies needed to achieve our desired outcomes exist within our own skills, knowledge and capabilities and that these abilities can be greatly enhanced through sophisticated facilitated dialogue and coaching.
The methodology is unique, fully engaging and interactive. It has a sound psychological and neuro-physiological basis and has been awarded the American Group Psychotherapy Award for Innovation.
