What is the Thinking Environment and how does it work? 

The Thinking Environment is a powerful approach to personal and professional development. 

At its heart is the philosophy that when we can think well for ourselves, we can improve the quality of our decisions, our actions  and our outcomes. 

This practical framework,  developed by Nancy Kline (Time To Think), will help you create the environment in which you and others  can think collaboratively and creatively. For anyone leading or working in a team, or anyone who is responsible for the development of others, learning and applying this radical approach can lead to fresh and breakthrough thinking and better outcomes.

Which course is for you? 

In each of my courses you will learn about and experience conditions and techniques which have been consistently shown to increase people’s capacity to think well in groups, teams and organisations.

The Foundation Programme and the Thinking Partnership Programme are foundational courses designed so you can explore and practice this radical approach in an encouraging, participative environment.
