Learn how to drive innovation in your organisation and foster a creative, adaptive and sustainable work environment.
Great fundraising doesn’t just happen—it’s fuelled by connection, clarity, and conversations that matter. In this energising, practical session, leadership coach and author Jude Sclater will introduce the key principles behind Think Like A Coach—a simple, powerful approach to having more meaningful conversations at work. You’ll learn how to create space for reflection, shift from problem-solving to potential, and spark insight in everyday chats with your team or peers. At the heart of the session is a practical two-step coaching model you can use in any conversation—whether you’re checking in with a colleague, supporting a teammate through a challenge, or celebrating a success. It’s designed to work in the real world, even when time is tight. You’ll get a chance to try it out in small breakout rooms, using a real-life example: something that went well for you this week. It’s a light, positive way to practise the approach in action—and hear what others are learning too. About your facilitator: Jude Sclater is the author of Think Like A Coach, shortlisted for the 2025 Business Book Awards. She’s also the creator of a practical learning programme that helps managers lead with empathy and impact—one conversation at a time. With a decade of experience coaching leaders in professional services, she now supports organisations across sectors to build stronger teams through everyday coaching skills.
If you have already undertaken some training in Motivational Interviewing (at least half a day)*, you are welcome to join our MI Skills Club (MISC), which is a free community group for Educational Psychologists wishing to practise their MI skills within a small and friendly group. Because MI is a conversational style, rather than a discrete skill, it is not something that can be mastered by attending a one-off training session. While MI is a learnable approach, it takes practice, reflection and supervision to improve. Learning MI on your own is hard, and receiving objective feedback and expert feedback are helpful in developing and maintaining competence in MI (Miller & Rollnick, 2023). Cathy Atkinson and Fi Coley, who are both members of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT), are collaborating to build an MI Learning Community for EPs. MINT (2019) defines a learning community as a network of practitioners interested in the same topic, and the community can serve as both a resource and a forum for developing practice. In each 90-minute online session we will focus on one small aspect of MI (micro-skills practice) and use breakout rooms with small groups to practice skills and give /receive supportive feedback. This event is open to Educational Psychologists, Trainee Educational Psychologists, and Assistant Psychologists. We are unable to accommodate aspiring EPs at this event. *If you are just starting out on your MI journey, or you would like to refresh your skills, you can join our one-day Introduction and Refresher training on Friday 27th September 2024 - Motivational Interviewing for Ed Psychs: Introduction and Refresher Tickets, Fri 27 Sep 2024 at 09:00 | Eventbrite
