<p><u>All</u> organisations today operate in an environment of constant and rapid change. Managing this change effectively is often achieved through a portfolio of formal projects.</p><p><u>Many</u> organisations today have qualified and experienced project management staff to run their projects.</p><p><u>Some</u> organisations today have dedicated functions, staff or processes to support their project management teams. The very largest organisations have in-house Enterprise Programme Offices, or project management specialists in corporate audit or risk functions; or organise 'Red Team Reviews' of a project by other staff with project management experience who are not participating in the reviewed project.</p><p>But for many mid-size businesses and SMEs - and even some larger organisations - these resources are simply not available. For them, having access to external expertise to assure project management disciplines and to coach project managers can be a major contributor to project success. Such reviews can take place at project initiation; at major stage-gates (especially if significant capital is to be committed at the stage-gate); or at any other time if concerns arise concerning project quality, cost or timescales.</p><p>And it is for those organisations that we offer the necessary expertise, on an ad hoc basis, in reviewing projects and coaching senior project management staff.</p>A document review and workshop led by one of our consultants can help you assess whether:<ul><li>The strategic goals and priorities for the project are clear and being addressed</li><li>Governance of the project within the business is defined and being effectively executed</li><li>Project roles and responsibilities are clear and effective</li><li>The credibility and robustness of the project plan can be enhanced</li><li>Performance measures and reporting procedures are effective</li><li>Critical risks are identified and being managed and contingencies are agreed</li><li>The roles, responsibilities and capabilities of the key players in the project team are fit for purpose</li><li>Budgets are realistic and costs being managed effectively</li><li>Communication and change management activities are effectively planned and being executed</li></ul><p>At your discretion, you can capture the outcomes from the workshop for yourselves, in terms of identifying opportunities for improvement, or you can have our consultant write a report and make recommendations to you.</p>

Life is hectic. Finding time out feels almost impossible. We want to pray, we want to reflect, but when we do find a snatched moment to ourselves, we remain distracted.
I've designed this space to help you reconnect with your breath, to gently stretch your body, and to listen... to the voice of your inner wisdom, and to the voice of your Beloved. 
We will meditate with scripture, we will journal, we will use creative means to listen to the Spirit.
We will sit with Love.
I hope you will come away feeling centred, refreshed and assured of your belovedness.
 Two hours, on Zoom.
"Come away with me to a quiet place"

The sessions will be shaped around the following themes this year:
October: Teresa of Avila
November: Letting Go
December: Advent / Expectant Hope
January: The Gifts of Winter Darkness
February: Love
March: Lent
April: No Session
May: Resurrection / Spring
June: TBC

July: The Gifts of Summer

August: No Session


You are invited to participate from the comfort of your own home. Ideally you'll be able to find a little space where you won't be interrupted. You might wish to ask those you share space with to help you protect this time by respecting your privacy.
All who sign up will be sent a link to the recording of the retreat which will remain live until the following session. If you would like to participate via recording, simply register for the event. It would be great if you could let me know that you won't be with us in real time.

Past Participants are Saying:
