Lewis Deep Democracy is an in depth and pragmatic social technology based on participative dialogue.

Training in this method is highly beneficial for leaders, managers, coaches, facilitators, educators, consultants or anyone working in a role that requires making change happen, facilitating discussions, supporting clients, individuals or organisations.

In this training programme, you will learn powerful and adaptable skills you can start integrating immediately across your life that equip you to navigate complex interpersonal dynamics and polarisation (and support others to do the same).

The training is ICF accredited and you will receive a certificate upon completion.

Democracy is about power. Deep Democracy is about shared awareness and collective power.

You will learn how to:

• Work generatively with difference, difficult behaviour, conflict and tension.

• Create spaces where conflicting views can be expressed and heard, fostering high trust, participative, innovative, and respectful cultures.

• Read the dynamics of a group, recognise early signs of resistance, understand the root causes of conflict and polarisation and how it manifests within group dynamics.

• Manage your own views and opinions while authentically encouraging others to share their own (even if they are different to yours).

• Deliver simple, key statements that address “elephants in the room”.

• Make decisions that gain buy-in and establish responsibility, while weaving in diverse points of view. Understand the wisdom in the “no”.

• Shift how you relate to tension and conflict, and understand the creative possibility conflict offers, as well as it’s potential to strengthen relationships.

• Understand the obstacles to good communication and develop new ways of speaking and sharing views that enable a culture of understanding.

• Skilfully diagnose and intervene in situations where people are stuck.

• Resolve relational and group tension or conflict instead of allowing anger and blaming to bubble away or escalate.

Integral Development Coaching is grounded in a developmental psychological model which attends to the holistic nature of being human: your emotions, cognition, behaviour and body, culture and language, spirituality, surrounding system, and relationships.

Working in this big picture way, we can look at root causes of what’s arising for you, and explore what exactly you are up to and how that is serving your intentions in life. You will also encounter more fully the unique strengths and resources you have to offer yourself and others.

Integral Coaching is relational. It does not take the view that a coach is a neutral question asker. Instead, Integral Coaching believes that the relationship between coach and client is essential for the developmental process, and that includes the coach being active in the work, as a partner alongside you.

After an intake session, I will design a developmental plan for you based on an in depth assessment of who you are, your current context, and where you are in your development. This plan invites you into new ways of seeing yourself and customised practices and self-reflection tools that assist you in your growth. Together, we will refine your plan as shifts start to occur for you.

Through our work together, you will:

• Work over a set period of time to facilitate deep personal transformation on your specific coaching topics and goals.

• Develop deeper awareness of your behavioural patterns, your values, your resources, and how what you are doing is serving your highest potential.

• Receive support in navigating challenges with relationships, and learn how to improve the quality of your relationships in an ever changing world - including your relationship with yourself.

• Receive a personalised development plan tailored to your specific challenges and opportunities.

My coaching is warm, insightful, and resourcing. Ultimately, my job as your coach is to create space for you to clearly see who you are, connect to your values and resources, and move forward with self-trust and clarity.

If this sounds like the right coaching approach for you, let’s connect.

I offer facilitation in a wide array of different relational and organisational contexts. My facilitation style works with group dynamics, enabling diverse views to surface, and supporting groups to engage with difference in order to generate creative solutions together and establish responsibility and buy in from all involved.

Participants will learn by experiencing practical facilitation tools that they can begin to apply themselves in their day to day contexts, creating more innovative, dynamic and participative conversations that positively impact their systems and create the work that matters most to them.

The Enneagram is one of the most powerful and dynamic systems in existence for seeing and understanding our unconscious inner experience, behavioural patterns and motivations. It is also a system that unlocks your capacity for deep empathy and compassion - for yourself and others.

For those who are ready, the Enneagram offers rich and time-tested wisdom for lifelong growth and development.

It offers sharp distinctions and holds many layers and complexities that bring nuance and grace to understanding adult personality.

Most importantly, it helps us develop presence, so that we have more choice to grow beyond our identified roles, our idealised self-image, and unconscious personality behaviours.

The Enneagram is not about putting people into rigid boxes. In fact, it’s the very opposite. Sadly, it’s most often used just as a personality assessment tool. This has limited value, for many reasons. One core reason is that it is extremely difficult to self-type, as personality is mostly unconscious. A second reason is that using this deeply powerful system as simply a personality assessment tool can serve as a way for us to double down on ingrained patterns - the opposite of development.

Personality is just a complex strategy for getting your instinctual needs met. It is a defence mechanism. The Enneagram is less concerned about this rigid way of navigating in the world, and more concerned with being an open window through which you can dis-identify with your unconscious behaviour, see clearly your motivations, and become more freely who you are. It not a static or personality system, in fact, it has a growth model integrated within it.

A great first step into the Enneagram is accurately identifying your type, learning more about human instincts, or simply learning the nuts and bolts of the Enneagram system itself so you can apply it in your life.

I offer Enneagram coaching for those who are curious and ready to explore their personality in depth and learn more about this powerful system.

You will benefit from Enneagram coaching if:

• You are just starting to explore the Enneagram and want to understand the system and begin to explore what your type might be.

• You have self-typed and want support confirming the type or wish to explore it more deeply.

• You want to dive deeper into the Enneagram and understand more about its layers such as: Wing, Instincts, Trifix, The Centres of Intelligence, Object Relations, and Resource lines of stress and integration.

• You are a coach and want to learn more about the Enneagram to decide if you wish to do further training in the Enneagram to expand your practice in support of your clients.

• You are a leader of a team or organisation, are curious about how the Enneagram can support your organisation to mature and build a better relational culture.

• You want the support of the Enneagram to work through current relational difficulty in your life.
