He has been a leading trainer for the Transition Network and has been offering a set of training courses around building effective groups, teams and collaborations. Nick’s courses come from integrating 20 years experience of working with leadership models in social change projects, intentional communities and Eco-villages, and conventional and cutting edge organizations. During this evening Nick will cover the essentials of good group dynamics, provide a variety of tools and resources and will give a taste of an upcoming 2-day course for those who want to take a deeper dive and gain more proficiency in facilitating skillful group process.
