A business born from my passion for all things design and delivery in learning. Having worked 12 years in the corporate world for a global company I have seen good, bad and indifferent learning. The quality of the learning is dependent on who has designed it and who is delivering it. I have learnt that working for myself the need for connection with others who do what you do is really important an

Sometimes the most useful thing you can do is step away from the day-to-day long enough to properly think, pause and reflect on where you are, what this year has looked like so far, and what you want the next season to look like.

This Gathering is a space for facilitators, trainers and coaches to have those conversations alongside others who understand the realities of this work.

Together, we’ll explore what success actually looks like for us and our businesses going forward - before the second half of the year disappears into busyness again.

Hosted by Kate Nicholroy and Duncan Purvis.

When you lead your own work, you’re often making decisions in isolation.

Whether that’s running your own business, leading a team, or holding responsibility at the top.

There’s no one to sense-check things with in the moment.

No one to reflect your thinking back to you.

No one to offer a different perspective as you go.

Which means you stay close to your own work all. the. time.

And when that happens, it’s easy to go round in circles, overthinking decisions, second guessing things, getting stuck - because you don’t have distance.

The SOF Gatherings provide you with space to step out of your usual environment, discuss things with others who understand your work, and gain a clearer perspective.

If you’re a coach, trainer or facilitator, you’re welcome to join us.
