About the facilitator:  

Nick Osborne, a leading trainer from the UK with the Transition Network, will be in the U.S. to give his 2-day Effective Groups weekend workshop, plus his 1-day Train the Trainer training, in 3 locations.

The Effective Groups (aka Effective Collaboration) weekend workshop is Nick's labor of love for Transition Initiatives - helping community-based Transition Initiatives develop stronger group skills. It comes 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.  The course is open to anyone involved in any kind of social change work, with preference given to groups using the Transition model to inform their work.
