Testimonials
Absolutely fascinating and highly enjoyable
On this course, having the experience of being a thinking partner and truly (for the first time?!) thinking independently has reinforced this and I think it is something that would benefit everyone in everything they do! So I am hooked.
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.
Thought provoking and fascinating
Very enjoyable and learned an amazing amount, which will have very practical and ‘useable’ outcomes. It has already improved my coaching style and meetings.
It's a 10/10!
It is a gift to have the time to think and already the incisive questions are making a significant difference, for the better, in how I coach and facilitate meetings! A differentiator for me is that Sophie modelled the TE for us beautifully.
Everyone shines
Sophie does such a good job of creating a genuine thinking environment for all her participants that everyone shines.
You will come away feeling more confident and capable
It was a good mix of theory and practical; small, informal group where you felt safe. If you want to learn how to be more effective and have more impact in your work, this is the course for you both personally and for your team.
Completely changed my approach to coaching
Completely changed my approach to coaching moving to a method which to me is far more effective. Dynamic thinking environment which teaches you how to be an effective listener and thus work with coaches to establish change. The most effective method of coaching I’ve experienced.
It is well worth investing the time
What you learn is so useful for so many aspects of your life that it is well worth investing the time.
It is very different to other coaching approaches
This course allows you to practically explore the power of thinking clearly for yourself. It is very different to other coaching approaches and seems to bring about more significant shifts in thinking and understanding than I have come across elsewhere.
This course is a game-changer
It has enabled me to develop much more as a coach but also as an independent thinker. It has made me realise the power of true listening, without interruptions, to enable productive independent thinking.
More possibilities and choice than you realised was possible
What you learn is not just a tool you can use at work, but one that can change how you approach your life, bringing more possibilities and choice than you realised was possible.
It has transformed my thinking and approach
It has transformed my thinking and approach to coaching and mentoring and I want to share that with other people who might fine it useful.
It was priceless to have space to explore and develop
For me it was priceless to have space to explore and develop my coaching practice through the lens of the Thinking Partnership approach. The course gave me the confidence to immediately put the Thinking Partnership into practice with my clients and for myself as a Thinker.
The Thinking Environment is an inspirational process
The core principles are valuable life concepts, personally or in business. The course is designed to start you on a supported journey which can only improve your thinking and your ability to achieve your full potential.
Genuinely life changing
The thinking partnership course has been genuinely life changing for me. It has left me full of ideas of how I want to move forward in my life. It was also hugely refreshing to really engage with the process of fresh thinking.
It cannot be learnt simply through reading the books
The initial 2 days were a very special personal development experience for me (and I’ve been on a lot of courses!). I believe the TE achieves what so many other coaching approaches aim for, but fall short of – which is empowering thinkers to think for themselves.
