Facilitating a session on dealing with change
Why an an outside facilitator?
An outside facilitator saves you money and time, whilst making your meeting more efficient. You don’t need to have key staff using their precious time to design meetings. As a facilitator I focus on the process of the meeting not on its content and I prepare the ground by exploring the objectives of the meeting with client. I find out what is blocking the situation and create a strategy for bringing about a resolution.
Feedback
I facilitated a training session for Western Australia’s premier leadership and business training company Integral Development
Fabulous, insightful and provocative. I found the messages delivered in safe and humorous manner. I enjoyed the interaction and seeing the different reactions. It allowed me to observe myself and others, as the as the master of our own destiny.
….he is a very skilled and has a great capacity to dealing with
group discomfort & unease!
I enjoyed the session and found it to be beneficial. It was good to see other people’s reaction to the stress / tension and I found that insightful. I even chatted with my wife about the session and tested the notions of disappointment in others being their responsibility or that of the person perceiving the disappointment.

“We were recently privileged to host Amaranatho as part of a one-week mindful experience program aimed at supporting and improving the mental well-being of our staff.
Feedback from participants have been overwhelmingly positive and staff have commented on the benefits of the one-on-one sessions and group workshops.
We strongly believe workplace health has a direct relationship with our work/life balance and organisational productivity and we would like to thank Amaranatho for facilitating the week-long mindfulness program.”
