Introduction to the Thinking Environment™


"The quality of everything we do depends on the quality of the thinking we do first", Nancy Kline.

Join me on an adventure in thinking. 

Learn to think for yourself and transform how you listen so you can ignite the brilliance of those around you.  

Welcome to The Thinking Environment™

Imagine having uninterrupted time to think?

Imagine being able to figure out what you want to say, how you feel and finish your own sentences without being interrupted?

Imagine making conscious choices that allow you to embrace ease and put your attention back on the things that matter the most to you in your life?

The quality of everything we do depends on the quality of the thinking we do first. Yet it’s so hard to slow down long enough to think let alone make high quality decisions. The impact of this can be felt everywhere. From our global politics and environmental degradation to the epidemic of busyness which creates stress and anxiety. If we want to change anything in our lives – our relationships, the way we interact with our children, our businesses, our communities and our broader environments we need to know how to think well. 

We need a Thinking Environment now, more than ever. 
I wanted to create an online course so you can access this amazing work from whereever you are in the world and go through the videos at a pace that suits you and your life. 

I wanted to share the resources, stories and practices that I go back to again and again. 

This is the course I wish I'd had access to when I started out. 

What will I learn?

You’ll discover what it takes to help people think well for themselves.

The course will answer questions like:

What is the Thinking Environment?
Why is thinking for ourselves so important?
What are the 10 Components?
Why listening to ignite rather than reply changes everything.
Why ease isn’t always easy.
Why silence really is golden.
Why your attention makes a profound difference to the people around you.
How you can dramatically & quickly improve your listening skills.

What's included in the course?

You'll be learning with, and have access to an expert teacher and guide who's been fully immersed in a Thinking Environment for 12 years. 

I’m one of only 18 people in the world able to qualify other people in this work and just as importantly, I love what I do. 

I want to share the essence of what I’ve learned in a format that’s easy to access and available wherever you are in the world. 

Upon payment you'll get immediate access to 27 teaching videos accompanied by practical teaching notes and suggestions of how to start using this in your life and work. 

Who is the course for?

You might have heard of Nancy Kline or read one of her books or you might have worked with someone who made you feel really valued and seen and wondered what it was they did differently. 

You might be a coach or a Facilitator who wants to really put their clients at the heart of everything they do. 

You might have previously attended a Time to Think course and want to refresh your learning and update your understanding. 

You might be a teacher who is tired of being exhausted and feeling burnt out. 

You might be a mum or dad who wants to pay closer attention to their children. 

What I know is, you’re someone who loves people, who loves life and who wants to make a difference. 

You know you need to slow down, pay Attention so you can create a life you love.

FAQs

How long will it take to go through the course?

The course has been designed to fit into your life so the videos are designed to be watched either one at a time or you could sit and watch all of them in under 2 hours. The videos will reveal new insights each time you watch them

Do I have to complete the course in a set amount of time?

No, you'll have lifetime access to the course including any updates which are made. 

Do I need to do this course before your other courses?

I recommend taking this course before attending either the Time to Think Foundation course or Thinking Partnership course as it will give you a really good feel for the Thinking Environment. If you do go on to attend either with me in the future, I’ll deduct £79 from the course fee. 

Is the course guaranteed?

The course is 100% guaranteed, if for any reason you’re not 100% satisfied with the course just send me an e-mail requesting a refund within 7-days of purchase and I’ll give you your money back.

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. 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.
