How can the 10 components of a Thinking Environment support us when we find ourselves caught up in conflict?
Here’s what you’ll learn…
How we can keep thinking beautifully even in disagreement and what generally stops us.
How asking ourselves Incisive Questions when we are not facing conflict can help us become better at handing conflict
How a basic understanding of how our brains react during conflict can help to explain why we find conflict so powerful and challenging
How our behaviour can impact on the other people we are with - positively or negatively
The role the 10 components of a Thinking Environment can support us during conflict
This workshop will encourage you to think afresh about how you are in conflict and consider how you’d like to be. You’ll leave with a simple personal incisive question to support you when you most need it most.

MEET SOPHIE
In case we haven’t met, I’m Sophie.
Several years ago by chance, I came across a reference to Nancy Kline’s book Time to Think. She described a way of being with one another that is both incredibly simple, and incredibly rare.
I learned that we don’t give ourselves, or others, the freedom to think without interruption, or judgment, or time limits, or an obsession with outcomes. We limit our thinking, our conversations, our relationships and our entire lives by confining our minds.
I began to question the life I had chosen. I began to ask myself about what I really wanted, to explore the ‘authentic’ me, my instinctive mind, and gradually, I began to reclaim what really mattered. I left corporate life. I moved back to the UK. I met the man who is now my husband and father to my two children.
Qualifying as a Time to Think practitioner in 2006, I’m one of only 20 practitioners in the world accredited to qualify others in the Thinking Environment I have now trained hundreds of people to go through what I did, to change their lives and to pass it on to hundreds more.
Now more than ever I believe in the power of the thinking environment to reveal the truth to us and to lead us to a life that edifies and fulfills us. -- Sophie.
