Talks and Workshops

John Allison has extensive experience in lecturing, and facilitating discussions and workshops. In his talks he presents his insights in a format and language that is readily accessible. Whether entering into the challenges of parenting, teaching, literature, personal or organisation development, he comes straight to the heart of what it means to be human.

John's approach in his workshops is to establish what the participants are looking at, what their experience is of what they are seeing, and what next steps they might take on their respective pathways.

His themes encompass the scope of personal soul/spiritual development, especially in relation to the complex challenges of childhood and adolescence: including both parenting and teaching skills; developing effective practices in behaviour management; and establishing approaches to bullying, drug education, pastoral care and living with grief.

The Helping Conversation

Parents often know the answers, but may need to discover this through a dialogue. This process can help them see the situation more clearly, and what the trip-wires and trigger-points are for their reactions. Thus, they might arrive at a clear place from which they can forge new attitudes, shape new patterns, develop new skills, and then get on and do it.

John Allison is available to work with you in any of the areas outlined on this site. Contact him to discuss your needs.
