Discernment Formation for Course Leaders
with Rachel Overton and Nick Helm
This programme aims to enable course leaders to develop or sharpen up discernment processes within formation programmes for spiritual directors from all traditions. 
A previous participant says:
'This programme really helped me to find a language with which to fully understand discernment processes for myself and for my facilitating the development of others.’ 
Discernment is not something that we ‘do’ at certain moments of decision in life. Rather it is the stance we should assume in every aspect of life and can be articulated in the question ‘how am I centred and responsive to God?’
As course leaders and people responsible for the formation of spiritual directors, we need to be aware of our own discernment processes if we are to enable others to grow in their ability to discern well. Such awareness also enables us to offer congruence between the formation programme we are a part of, the nature of spiritual accompaniment and being faithful to God in life. 
Over the course of the four day sessions, we will enable participants to engage with questions such as: 
What do you pay attention to within your own experience?
Why do you pay attention to that?
How do you respond to what you notice?
What choices do you make?
How does all of this apply to you personally, your role as a spiritual director and your role in the formation of spiritual directors.
 These will be explored in relation to the ‘triangle model’ of relationships within spiritual direction – a model which helps to sharpen awareness of the multiple aspects of discernment that we need to pay attention to.
The programme will be experiential, involving small group work as well as plenary sessions. Participants will also be expected to take time to reflect and continue to work with their own process in between sessions.
By the end of the programme, participants can expect to:
be more aware of their own process and language of discernment
have greater awareness of how discernment is lived in spiritual direction and spiritual direction formation
be more secure in their role as a trainer enabling discerning processes
have clarity about ways in which this discerning stance can be developed in the course they are involved in
All sessions will run on Zoom from 9.45am to 4.15pm
Previous participants share their responses to this programme: 
‘A safe space to open your heart to the unexpected.’
‘It opens up the process of discerning far better than reading it in a book.'
‘[It] may well change your perception of what discernment is all about and, with practice, it will change the way you live and pray. I would thoroughly recommend this learning process and experience.’
‘Approach with an attentive, open heart, recognising the potential to go deeper through exploring discernment by journeying both as individual and with others.’
‘A very in-depth programme that really gets to the heart of discernment. Don’t miss it - it can change your life!!’
‘It wasn't until I experienced this programme with Nick and Rachel that it became obvious how vital this clarification of, and approach to discernment is, and would whole-heartedly recommend this empowering course to the most seasoned of trainers as well as those just starting out.’

Untangle your Data Governance issue and collaborate with your peers during this one-day Mastermind
Discuss Data Governance approaches with people who get it
Are you struggling with a Data Governance issue and wish you had a team of other Data Governance professionals you could bounce it around with?
You’ve done Data Governance training and you know what you’re focusing on. While your team is supportive, you spend a lot of time dealing with, and driving forward, culture change, managing stakeholders, and fielding questions from people who have their own priorities and now need to do this ‘Data Governance stuff’ on top. 
It would be nice, once in a while, to have a conversation about how to achieve something free from internal issues. You want to talk about best practices and get some alternative ideas.
That’s what my Data Governance Mastermind gives you: space to reflect with the support of your peers and practical solutions you can implement.
What is a mastermind?
Mastermind groups are the definition of ‘sharing is caring’. It’s you and your fellow peers – people who do what you do - gathering to brainstorm, problem solve, set goals and be each other’s support network.
At the Data Governance Mastermind, you will meet and learn from other people implementing Data Governance initiatives. 
It’s a one-day event, on Zoom. One of the benefits of attending is you’ll get 30 minutes in the ‘hot seat’ where you can share something you’re struggling with and get input from the group. 
What you can expect during the day
Discussions about different aspects of Data Governance and the opportunity to share what’s worked for you.
Tailored advice specific to your situation from me.
Insights from other people implementing Data Governance about what’s worked for them, what hasn’t worked, and how they have tackled issues.
30 minutes in the hot seat so you can share something you need help with and get practical suggestions from the rest of the delegates.
Time to reflect and share learnings from discussions so you have your key takeaways written down, ready to take back to work with you.
Get to know other Data Governance professionals and build a support network
Get an action plan and confidence to take your next steps with Data Governance
Get ready to discover new ways of approaching your Data Governance challenges, while getting to know professionals from a range of industries.
You will:
Get a clear action plan to take away with you to tackle your specific Data Governance issues.
Develop a wider network of supportive Data Governance professionals, people got your back and will be available to continue to network and ask advice or in the future.
Leave with the confidence that you're not alone in tackling these issues. There are other people going through similar experiences that are willing to help you out.
Is attending a Mastermind right for me? 
Every individual's Data Governance journey is unique. Take my scorecard to determine if my Mastermind programme is the right fit for you and will effectively support your specific needs. You can also find out more about the day on my website.

Laura is looking for a book you can&rsquo;t wait to talk to someone about, in the same way as a new film or the latest release on Netflix. A book that engrosses her from the first page to the last, desperate for someone she knows to read so they can discuss as soon as possible.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">It will always be an original hook that draws Laura in, a whole concept that can be summed up in one line that immediately stops her in my tracks and makes her think.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Character and voice is also crucial. Laura is a huge fan of Mick Herron&rsquo;s Jackson Lamb, Richard Osman&rsquo;s <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Thursday Murder Club</em> cast and Lynda La Plante&rsquo;s Jane Tennison. She would really love to see more strong, memorable women in crime. In bookclub fiction, voices that have stayed with her are Adduni in <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Girl With The Louding Voice</em>, Cyril in <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Heart&rsquo;s Invisible Furies</em> and Molly in <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Maid</em>. Recently, Kitty in <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">How To Kill Men and Get Away With It</em> had Laura secretly rooting for her serial killer antics.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Laura loves to be engrossed by a pacy, twisty, surprising plot. It doesn&rsquo;t need to be overly complex &ndash; sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. She wants to be thrown curveballs she never saw coming and be kept guessing until the last page. Books Laura has devoured are <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Nightwatching, The Housemaid</em>, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Last Mrs Parrish</em>, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Fourth Wing</em>, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">None of This is True</em> and<em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">&nbsp;American Dirt</em>.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Books that play with genre also capture Laura. Novels such as <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Wrong Place, Wrong Time</em> which combined a crime mystery and the story of a mother&rsquo;s love with a speculative element and <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Time Traveller&rsquo;s Wife</em>, a high-concept love story which crossed time and age.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Laura is a huge fan of true crime and would love to read a fiction version of podcasts she has been gripped by. She really enjoys cold cases being reopened as a result of new evidence or technology which exposes past injustices such as on <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Bone Valley</em>, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">In The Dark</em> or <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Who Killed Emma?</em>&nbsp;She is particularly drawn to stories of deep deception or &lsquo;scams&rsquo; such as those by Anna Delvey or Coco Berthmann, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Tinder Swindler</em> or <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Fyre Festival.&nbsp;</em>Laura is always intrigued by anything involving investigation into cults, such as in BBC Sound&rsquo;s <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">World of Secrets</em>.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">She also loves nothing more than sobbing her heart out over a book and being left emotionally wrung-out! Whether it be a devastating historical tragedy or star-crossed lovers torn apart by destiny. &nbsp;Books that have broken her heart include <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Bridges of Madison County, The Kite Runner,</em>&nbsp;<em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo</em>, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Birdsong</em>, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">My Sister&rsquo;s Keeper</em>, <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Cilka&rsquo;s Journey</em>&nbsp;and <em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Four Winds</em>.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">In non-fiction, Laura is looking for an untold story or perspective or an unexplored area where you have expertise or real-life experience.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION
Laura studied law at university and spent over 20 years at Virgin Atlantic which allowed her to indulge her passion for reading whilst travelling.
On deciding to pursue a career in publishing, Laura joined the Darley Anderson Agency where she worked across the Women’s Fiction list, reading submissions, handling contracts and supporting authors on their path to publication and beyond.
She co-founded Greenstone Literary with Tanera Simons in 2024 and is excited to build a list of authors.
Laura is looking for commercial crime, thriller, suspense, bookclub, historical and romance fiction as well as select non-fiction.
Above everything she wants to be entertained. Laura is looking for a book you can’t wait to talk to someone about, in the same way as a new film or the latest release on Netflix. A book that engrosses her from the first page to the last, desperate for someone she knows to read so they can discuss as soon as possible.
It will always be an original hook that draws Laura in, a whole concept that can be summed up in one line that immediately stops her in my tracks and makes her think.
Character and voice is also crucial. Laura is a huge fan of Mick Herron’s Jackson Lamb, Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club cast and Lynda La Plante’s Jane Tennison. She would really love to see more strong, memorable women in crime. In bookclub fiction, voices that have stayed with her are Adduni in The Girl With The Louding Voice, Cyril in The Heart’s Invisible Furies and Molly in The Maid. Recently, Kitty in How To Kill Men and Get Away With It had Laura secretly rooting for her serial killer antics.
Laura loves to be engrossed by a pacy, twisty, surprising plot. It doesn’t need to be overly complex – sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. She wants to be thrown curveballs she never saw coming and be kept guessing until the last page. Books Laura has devoured are Nightwatching, The Housemaid, The Last Mrs Parrish, Fourth Wing, None of This is True and American Dirt.
Books that play with genre also capture Laura. Novels such as Wrong Place, Wrong Time which combined a crime mystery and the story of a mother’s love with a speculative element and The Time Traveller’s Wife, a high-concept love story which crossed time and age.
Laura is a huge fan of true crime and would love to read a fiction version of podcasts she has been gripped by. She really enjoys cold cases being reopened as a result of new evidence or technology which exposes past injustices such as on Bone Valley, In The Dark or Who Killed Emma? She is particularly drawn to stories of deep deception or ‘scams’ such as those by Anna Delvey or Coco Berthmann, Tinder Swindler or Fyre Festival. Laura is always intrigued by anything involving investigation into cults, such as in BBC Sound’s World of Secrets.
She also loves nothing more than sobbing her heart out over a book and being left emotionally wrung-out! Whether it be a devastating historical tragedy or star-crossed lovers torn apart by destiny. Books that have broken her heart include The Bridges of Madison County, The Kite Runner, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Birdsong, My Sister’s Keeper, Cilka’s Journey and Four Winds.
In non-fiction, Laura is looking for an untold story or perspective or an unexplored area where you have expertise or real-life experience. As a reader of non-fiction she wants to be engaged in a relatable, accessible way. She loved the evocative settings and personal journeys in The Salt Path and The Wild Other. The laugh-out-loud More Than A Woman had her ordering this for many friends. Three Women and Educated are brilliant examples of non-fiction books that read like fiction. The awe-inspiring Do No Harm stayed with Laura long after reading. 
Laura is not looking for poetry, novellas, screenplays, or children’s books.
Laura would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your completed manuscript in a single word document.
(In addition to the paid sessions, Laura is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print). 
By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event. You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.
The submission deadline is: Thursday 12 September 2024
