About the Time to Think Foundation course

This four-session online course is an excellent introduction to the Thinking Environment, specifically for people who want to use their learning to improve their facilitation and chairing skills. Designed with group application in mind, it’s ideal for anyone who has to lead meetings, chair and facilitate group discussions or deliver workshops.

Working experientially through practical learning, you’ll discover the Thinking Environment in the context of group work to confidently facilitate group thinking and communication. You’ll learn to engage and involve all contributors, ensuring everybody is heard and understood in a way that often transforms attending ‘meetings’ into something fruitful. The course will significantly improve your listening skills, so you can positively affect performance through everyday conversations, unleash the creativity of those you work with and create a highly constructive culture within any team or group.

This course is run online so that the learning can be incorporated into both in-person and online meetings, as being able to run running highly effective and engaging online sessions is now an essential skill in today’s world.

“Even with just one or two things from this course, any meeting you facilitate would be massively improved. The diverse mix of participants was a delight. Sophie is a gifted presenter/facilitator and mixes gentle tenacity with grit and determination – this is the way to facilitate meetings. So simple and yet more effective than any other previous methodology I’ve encountered. I feel so much more prepared, even excited about hosting group coaching sessions now. I have everything I need to feel confident in this approach knowing that it will deliver for my clients.”

Testimonials
We all have agency in our thinking when we’re gifted uninterrupted time to think.

The course has confirmed my belief we all have agency in our thinking and if we gift uninterrupted time to listen, we enable others to think for themselves too.!

So many things about the course were good, I'd recommend it 10/10

I would certainly recommend this course to anyone wanting to develop a highly creative team, or develop their own relationships.

The course was a really special experience.

I highly recommend this course because it gives you the physical and mental freedom that quality thinking needs. It can really help to break through sticking points and brings about positive change.

Be prepared to see things differently.

Thank you for not just teaching but creating a thinking environment.

The course has completely refreshed my practice.

The best thing about the course was understanding how Transforming Meetings has moved on/how you deliver it. Your light touch. The amazing physical and psychological space.

In my top 5 courses I've attended.

Sophie really understands how to get the best out of a group and has a mastery of the material which makes it easy to engage.

Emotional. Exhausting. Fantastic.

I can sense already the benefits from this new and truly inspired approach - it’s really exciting.

It was a privilege.

It’s a privilege and a gift to have 2 days in this enriching environment.

Feeling inspired!

I kept on learning.

I feel encouraged to get back out there and start thinking....10/10

The course has been a great experience and one I will highly recommend to colleagues and friends.

A tonic for my practice and my soul

If you are ready to challenge the norm, Sophie will support you in thinking and enabling thinking in others.

I had an amazing 2 days – a real game changer

10/10 LIFE CHANGING!

The course will touch and inspire you in more ways than you expect

10/10 Thank you so much – it was a much needed two days of inspiration and recharging of mind and body!  I really enjoyed your style of teaching, plus the beautiful surroundings, and the very delicious lunches and snacks  – it was a rare treat indeed.  You’ve given me plenty to think about for sure!

It's a great opportunity for self reflection and to re-set

10/10 I just wanted to say a personal BIG thank you for facilitating the 2 days space, which has allowed me to reset, re-affirm that I am on the right track and more importantly have some time to think, I mean really think.

Sophie creates an ideal environment for thinking and learning.

The last 2 days have flown and feel like a generous gift. I feel privileged and grateful. 10/10

It's a treat...

The best thing about the course was the amount of space given to questions and discussions and yet still the whole content was covered and given time.

Life changing and life affirming

Genuinely life changing.

I learned how to 'be' a Thinking Environment.

I came to the course hoping to learn how to use the Thinking Environment. What I learned was how to 'be' a Thinking Environment.

10/10 - It was the most impactful course I've ever attended

Sophie is awesome, she understands the Thinking Environment to a really deep level and can apply that to real world experience.

10/10

This is a course for grown ups - no infantalising, lecturing or downloading - just 'being' the Thinking Environment.

10/10 - The course has been absolutely brilliant.

Be prepared to learn a lot about yourself as well as the content. 

It's genuinely a life changing experience

The skills and techniques I've learnt are relevant to so many aspects (probably all aspects actually!) of life. 10/10.

10/10...do it. Everyone can benefit from this course.

Sophie's embodiment of the components, insight and wisdom elevates this from a course full of useful tools and techniques (which it still is) to one where we each get to work at our own personal edge. 

10/10...the course was a joy.

Sophie is a top class coach and facilitator and I would encourage anyone who wants to grow and think to attend. 

Sign up and don't think twice about it. It's a journey you don't want to miss.

The best thing about the course was the honesty and compassion of the group and facilitator. There was total safety to raise issues that I wouldn't have dreamed possible.

The course has helped me to find a peace in my mind muddle.

If you're considering the course, go for it! You'll be cared for in a respectful way and encouraged to do your best thinking. It's a great course. 

Made me stop and think about so many things

10/10. I could not recommend this course highly enough for anyone wanting to explore a different way to approach things. It has made me stop and think about so many things. If you are thinking of attending I'd say 'go for it' you won't regret it.

A space to learn

The 2 days offered a space to learn about the elements which will enable me to hold my classes / meetings / 1-2-1s in a Thinking Environment. I saw what I had learned from reading the 2 Time to Think books in action, in more specific detail with the chance to ask when I was not sure I had understood something correctly.

A powerful and experiential learning experience

A powerful and experiential learning experience where you are fully immersed in the building blocks that helps to create a thinking environment for both individuals and teams. The course also provides you, as the participant, with valuable time and space to think for yourselves. I would highly recommend it!

It will be life changing

The entire course was useful and it’s rare that so much of a course provides this. It will be life changing in terms of how I treat people when they are speaking which hopefully will impact on them. Sophie was an excellent tutor and so knowledgeable about the underpinning concepts and theory; absolutely nothing phased her.
