Training & Facilitation
What I offer
​​
Facilitation
Facilitation is about creating the right conditions so that important conversations can take place. This includes ensuring the space is inclusive and all voices are equally valued.
I have facilitated Board away days, international symposiums, staff consultation events, meetings to create action plans and to make important decisions.
I often collaborate with Gemma Baxter, Alia Alzougbi and Rachel Bagshaw at Support Squad to ensure my facilitation is well thought out and supported.
Recent facilitation clients include: Arts Council England; Revolving Doors; Centre for New Writing and Unicorn Theatre.
​
Training
I offer training in several areas relating to coaching and active listening, and can create bespoke training for specific situations and organisations.
I have delivered training to establish Action Learning sets, to prepare Mentors and Mentees so they can get the most from a mentoring programme, and to help staff create a forum.
I run training for coaches including Coaching on this Earth (with Emma Haughton) and RD1st's Group Coaching (with Gemma Baxter, Support Squad).
Recent training clients include: Roundhouse; Studio Wayne McGregor; Trinity Laban and the Centre for Ageing Better.
​
Supervision
I am an RD1st supervisor and offer supervision for coaches individually or in small groups.
I have supervised coaching for projects and organisations including Culture Radar, Coaching for Creatives, and Creative People & Places.
​​​
Team coaching
Coaching for teams can provide space for reflection and support. Or it can help with creating a more positive working relationship in a team.
I have previously run sessions for organisations including the National Theatre and Sound & Music.
​
Workshops and webinars
I run workshops and webinars on topics including Writing for Wellbeing and confidence. I've run these for festivals, organisations and events including Young Women's Trust and the International Literature Symposium.

Testimonials
"Thanks again for facilitating such a rich day yesterday – I think we will be referring to it for many months to come. You did such a professional job, we really benefitted from the care and thoughtfulness in your preparation."
Emmie Kell
Director, Museums & Cultural Property
Arts Council England
​
"Gemma and Charlotte created a very warm, creative and inspiring team away day, with a lovely flow to it, which gave people space to reflect and draw out deeper insight than they were initially expecting. Team members have commented on how much they will reflect on and take forward in their attitude and work."
Revolving Doors
"Charlotte facilitated and held the space in an informal, professional and welcoming way. It created an atmosphere of trust amongst the participants, who didn't all know each other. Everyone felt included and their contribution was important and valued."
Daniela Essart
Artistic Director, Scarabeus Aerial Theatre
​
"Charlotte ran a one off session with a group of international artists. It was really well organised, well led, inclusive and we learned a lot. There was also time to talk about how we could continue the group. Would highly recommend."
Jennifer Paterson, All or Nothing
​
"Thank you for the facilitation you and Gemma ran, it was a difficult conversation to have and I really appreciated how you both approached it and created a safe space. It was really inspiring and made me think about how other challenging conversations can be handled."
Gurjit, participant
“Charlotte facilitated our last team away day. She was meticulous and thoughtful in her preparation, helping design a day that addressed the areas we needed to and had an energising ‘flow’ to it. On the day itself, she was brilliant at creating an environment where everybody’s voice was in the room and being listened to, and thus supporting our good thinking. This is a rare skill.”
Susanna Eastburn MBE
Chief Executive, Sound and Music
"Charlotte made Action Learning training very easy to relate to and it was an extremely helpful experience."
