“The quality of everything we do, everything, depends on the quality of the thinking that we do about it first. The quality of the thinking that we do, depends on how we are being treated by the people we are thinking with, including ourselves."

- How it helps to build trust and unleashes creativity

- A powerful coaching tool that enables the coachee to think things through so their resulting decisions are sound and fully actionable
- How a thinking environment can transform team and group meetings of all kinds for maximum effectiveness.

2. THINKING PARTNERSHIP COURSE (2+1 DAYS)
For developing skill and presence in one-to-one work and helping people to generate their own thinking without them being interrupted, guided or advised
Experience the Difference
People can think for themselves. It is their natural birthright to do so. This innate ability can, and mostly is, intruded upon and eroded by parental and educational messaging: resulting in an internalised assumption – that we need others to help us in order to know what to do. Learning to become a Thinking Partner is possibly the most helpful skill to cultivate. Having the courage to trust someone else’s intelligence for themselves is a profound gift of humanity and leadership
In the 3-day Thinking Partnership course: 2 consecutive days, with a third day a few weeks later, allowing for practice in between days 2 & 3. Participants will learn to offer the quality of attention we call generative
When people are thinking for themselves and are on an “independent roll”, being listened to by someone who knows how to create a Thinking Environment for them, they can and will discover the full territory of their thinking. From there they can clarify their objectives, surface and remove untrue limiting assumptions that stand in their way, and generate new ideas and insights that free them to live life fully. The human mind is capable of all this, innately. When, for whatever reason, this innate capacity becomes blocked, Thinking Partners have learned to recognise where the thinker is now, and where they are needing to go next, and what question(s) will enable them to get back onto a roll of their own independent thinking.

4. TRANSFORMING MEETINGS (IN A THINKING ENVIRONMENT)
Do you want to…
If you do, then you will learn that the way people behave with each other in meetings determines the quality of the thinking in them – and beyond. And be able to apply that learning, instantly
The programme for 6-12 people runs over a day. It can be for mixed or intact groups, and work on real, live issues, tasks or projects. This allows everyone to experience how very practical it is and to apply the principles immediately in their work – both in their own team and in other meetings they participate in.
So productive meetings will become more widely felt in the whole organisation. It will ripple out from there.
- Create an environment in which people feel valued, equal, engaged and thus more likely to participate?
- Create a shared sense of responsibility for the success of meetings?
- Get the best thinking from everyone in the room, not just a few?
- Generate better ideas, solutions, decisions and commitment to following through agreed action?
- Use time efficiently so that meetings can be both quick and productive?
- Enable differences of opinion to be voiced, respectfully and productively?
- Create a positive culture that ripples out from the meeting?

“The experience was profound at all levels – as much personally as professionally. It opened my eyes to how I might parent differently as well as coaching and consulting differently. It utterly brought to life the meaning of generative attention. I really had a tangible sense of this quality of extraordinary quality of attention. I feel totally “held” by Anna, in a safe and supportive space which feels utterly non-judgement. It allows me to say things out loud that I might not even fully acknowledge to myself in my head usually.”

“I was amazed how in a short space of time the Thinking Environment facilitated by Anna fostered a feeling of connection between a group of people who do not all know each other very well. It cut through superficiality and dived quickly, but in a way that felt comfortable, to an authentic interaction between group members.”

"I have just completed a 3 day Thinking Partnership course based on Nancy Kline’s Time to Think and facilitated by the inspiring Anna Inama. This was the first time that this course was run virtually – and this is typical of the trailblazing attitude that Anna has – boldly leading where no one has gone before. Over the three days Anna took us through the main concepts of Time to Think interspersing experiential learning with teaching and discussion on the application of the principals. As a result I feel that I now clearly understand many of the cool concepts that underpin Time to Think – through generative attention facilitating independent thinking in my clients. What an amazing experience it is to be able to speak without being interrupted – to have time to formulate and explore my thoughts. I am now seeing the positive impact that this approach has on my clients. I would thoroughly recommend this course to any coach who wants to develop their skills – especially, but not only, for coaches who acting as sparring partners with executives and leaders."
