Facilitation and Workshops
Work with me
I am an experienced public speaker and workshop facilitator who enjoys…
🌿 Sharing from my lived experience running a fast-growing climate policy charity and consequently recovering from burnout.
🌿 Delivering workshops supporting environmental professionals and activists to build resilience by fuelling themselves, their work and their lives with joy.
🌿 Teaching both practice and theories of resilience including mindfulness, coaching techniques, eco-anxiety research, nature connection, racial justice, and somatics.
🌿 Exploring how wellbeing has implications far beyond the individual, extending to our capacity to collaborate, to innovate, to work regeneratively and ultimately to have impact.
What participants have said
“Really great workshop, very gentle approach which was great, and it’s obvious the passion coming through with regards to the area of wellbeing! Jo worked with us to shape the workshop to our unique team, and gave us clear, practical advice to implement.” - The Climate Coalition.
“Jo completely understood where we were coming from and what we were going through. Her thoughtful, creative approach enabled us not only to deal with some of our own emotions, but also to understand some of the struggles faced by other people who we engage with in our work. Our conference was the richer for her presence.” - Jo Chamberlain, National Environment Officer of the Church of England.
