Workshops and Programs: Courses, Events + Retreats
Workshops:
A workshop is an experiential, person-centred training or coaching session, that helps address a gap in a teams skillset. Crucially, it generates a culture change in a group that supports the skills becoming embedded in the group.
Workshops can be from 1-8 hours long, in-person, with many available online.
Programs: Courses, Events + Retreats
Our bespoke programs offer a longer, deeper immersion into our work for change.
Our specialty is emergent strategy; responding with intuition and wisdom to the process that is trying to unfold. Then, using that unfolding to scaffold learnings that help the group move along its change journey.
If your group is ready for more complex change that is strategic, relational, and systemic we will design a program that is effective beyond your wildest hopes.
If you are willing to undertake a commitment to change, we will help design a suite of trainings that will take you on an empowering journey to meet the future, as it emerges.
Our services are for:
Organisations, Corporations + Business (B2B)
Groups and teams
Parents, Carers + Young People
Community Building + Activism
Teachers, educators and facilitators
Political Collaboration
Workshops and programs are outlined below:
All are stand alone but most work best paired with others in combination.
You can select a workshop to invest below, and how long you would like, and we will follow-up to confirm details.
Needs assessment for culture change
You may have a desire to change something, but you are not yet sure what, or you may have identified a particular challenge in your group, such as barriers to inclusion or challenges in relationships. Perhaps there is conflict, mission-drift, stress or burnout, lack of diversity, or loss of group members. We can offer a tailored program to assess the needs of your group and develop a proposal to train and develop your skills.
Navigating Change and Working with Complexity
Dealing with uncertainty typically amplifies existing challenges but it can also offer the potential for new ways of doing things to emerge. If you would benefit from engaging with complexity theory and ecological thinking in order to apply the approach to the next phase of your work, then this is for you.
Narrative Training
The process developed by Marshall Ganz and famously used by President Obama in his election campaign. The story of Self, Us and Now can be used to activate and engage your network of volunteers or clients. We will train you how to use your own stories, connect them to your desired outcomes, and motivate others to act supportively. If your organisation is seeking to grow its reach, become more visible or gain clarity about what you do and how, this could be for you.
Communication training
Learn how to foster a culture of dialogue, not debate. We offer training in an easy to use toolkit to support groups to navigate differences in perspectives. You will learn how to address hot topics without explosions or shut-down. How to develop win-win outcomes for more people. This workshop can be combined with an anti-racism and anti-oppression framework.
Communication never occurs in a vacuum; the situation is already populated with inequities, power-differentials, and personal experiences. This framework will help you to develop a deeper understanding of power, rank, inclusion and equity issues. Learning to notice, navigate and address these is profoundly important for people, especially those in positions of power.
Conflict skills
Build skills to handle discomfort and difference well, together, so that your group is able to recognise their patterns, develop new methods for responding, and address underlying causes of conflict so it is less likely to be destructive. You will learn how to use your own responses to your benefit, and how to maintain strong relationships as you navigate conflict more easily.

Regenerative culture change
A regenerative organisation is one that is agile in its responsiveness, has transparent relationships to power, welcomes and values diversity. It is focused on the wellbeing of staff and networks along with the delivery of your mission. This program is one of our favourites and its investment in time and energy brings phenomenal outcomes. This bespoke service is tailored to your needs via an assessment tool, one to one meetings, and group workshops or retreats. Together, we will transform your organisation’s structures, activities and services to move towards regenerative practices. The motivation to begin often comes from crisis: conflict, absenteeism, stress, burnout or lack of motivation. However motivation may also come from clear values and vision, that perhaps needs the structure and processes to enact them into a strategy of actions.
The Offers and Needs Market
Is a process for Community Based Assets Mapping from The Post Growth Institute. In a two-hour, guided process people meet (virtually or in person) to identify and exchange their passions, knowledge, skills, resources, opportunities, and needs. It is relational rather than transactional, in approach.It's fun, connecting and builds local economies and relationships. Offers and needs can be anything from finding a place to live, to graphic design; anything's possible at an Offers and Needs Market! Kathryn Mc Cabe is the only certified facilitator in Ireland.
Warm Data Lab; Planning with complexity at heart
Warm Data Labs; People Need People are 2 hour hosted group (8-49 people) conversations (online or in person) for generating new approaches. They build relationships with ease and flow. They support the understanding of your work across contexts of interdependencies. The current approach to change separates issues out, and takes them out of the context of their relationships. For example, we might try to ‘fix’ behavioural challenges with a child by focusing only on the child as the ‘problem’.A new approach is needed for addressing complex problems, which are all interdependent: You can see the existing, siloed approach, to addressing big challenges, is limited. You are looking to address old issues in new ways. You want to generate new thinking that is infused with complexity and transcontextual understandings of the issue being explored.
Moving from Hierarchy to Collaboration
Even progressive organisations inherit structures that invoke more hierarchy than they would like to. We will help you assess, train and support your group to practice the values it preaches.Collaboration can be fostered and enhanced with a program designed specifically for you. Let us know your unique challenges and hopes! Uneven power distribution eventually creates instability, in the form of rigidity of response, an inability to actualise the deeply held desires in the group, or as stress or burnout. At an organisational level, the quantitative fallouts are likely to be loss of market share, staff replacement costs, and inability to respond with agility to changes in the system.
Decision-Making
We are passionate about democracy and it’s next stages; collaborative and consensus decision-making. We have a wealth of experience making decisions and training in consensus. Consensus skills are very important for power-sharing to have real impact.
Intersectional Leadership: equity and power
We offer leadership development that prepares people in positions of power to navigate interpersonal challenges, enhances communication and conflict skills and frames inclusion work within an anti-oppression and anti-racism model. Even with intentions of ‘not being racist’ or trying to be ‘inclusive’, there are impacts on others we may be unaware of. We help your team develop the skills to establish cultures that recognise inherent inequity and actively address and dismantle systems of oppression that appear within groups. We deliver training that is informative, sensitive, non-judgemental, and empowering.
