Our Half: Surviving and Thriving in the Helping Professions
7-8 February 2019
Perhaps you are also looking ahead with hopes to bring more fulfilment and satisfaction to 2019.

What would help you be more at ease in your role so you can support others in sustainable ways?
How we are with people is as important as what we do.
We also have a new venue, the Campion Centre, a tranquil retreat setting in Kew. While I love Ceres, the Campion Centre offers a lovely reflective space with beautiful grounds and (given it could be a very hot summer) air conditioning! If you are interested, you can find more information and registration details here. |

We often focus on what questions or reflections we may ask in MI, and yet we know the most fundamental skill of good communication is the capacity to stay present and listen deeply.
