Change Fest Cumbria

I have mentioned last year's Change Fest, Cumbria in a previous post, and am delighted to be involved in organising this year's.

I twill take place on on 19 September 2015 at Brathay, near Ambleside.  The full programme is available on the CCNet website.

The basic idea is that several change practitioners - mainly but not exclusively, members of the Cumbria Coaching Network - get together to offer a rich variety of sessions at a very modest price (£25 in advance, £30 on the day).

Here's the blurb: 


Practical workshops to help you bring about change in yourself and others with opportunities to work on your own real issues. 

Who is it for?  

  • Anyone experiencing change at a personal level. 
  • Leaders & managers of change, eg HR professionals, team leaders and managers. 
  • Those supporting others through change eg counsellors, teachers, health professionals. 


What’s on offer? 

Workshops will run throughout the day - you can attend 3 workshops as well as plenaries.

Feedback from last year was very positive, and included comments such as:
'Lovely, positive friendly atmosphere''The workshop leaders all really knew their stuff!'
And as if that isn't enough inducement, I will be running a session on Stories for Change, similar to the one I ran when I made a Rare Public Appearance at the Change Camp in Gosforth in March, which (with all due modesty) I can declare to have been a smash hit. 

So rush on over to the CCNet Website, have a look at the full programme, and book yourself on!

A Rare Public Appearance...

Due to the nature of my business, most of my work is commissioned by corporate or institutional clients: which means that unless you are employed by the relevant  one of them, you will not be able to attend my workshops or programmes.

However, due to popular demand (hem hem) and coincidentally around the time I am gearing up to launch my book on an unsuspecting world, I am making a rare public appearance, to which all (and indeed sundry) are invited.

This will be at the ChangeCamp in Gosforth, on Saturday 28th March.  For full details of Change Camp, visit their site.

My session will be on Stories for Change. We will explore the model I have developed and describe in my book, in the context of coaching, with a short case study on video. Then participants will have the opportunity to apply the model in practice in pairs: one coaching, the other being coached.  We will then review their experience and seek to draw some conclusions.  Finally we will discuss different applications for the model.


It will be a stimulating and highly practical session, so do come along. At £25 (or £10 for concessions) it is a real bargain - and that includes several other sessions of your choice through the day, as well as excellent networking.

I look forward to seeing many friends, old and new, on the day.
