'It also helped on a more personal note to consider how I manage my work and
prioritise; and manage stress – to consider different ways of working'
As professional facilitators and coaches we believe that we should challenge ourselves by aspiring to codes of conduct which provide ethical frameworks to guide our practice. For facilitation this is provided by the International Association of Facilitators, (www.iaf-world.org) and for Coaching, the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (www.emccouncil.org)
How do we work?

• Appreciate prior learning experiences and develop new capabilities to apply in their particular context
• Broker partnerships to encourage the creation and ownership of new ideas
• Encourage wide participation in local change processes to enable sustainable growth for the future

Facilitation
‘As group facilitators, we believe in the inherent value of the individual and the collective wisdom of the group. We strive to help the group make the best use of the contributions of each of its members. We set aside our personal opinions and support the group's right to make its own choices.
We believe that collaborative and cooperative interaction builds consensus and produces meaningful outcomes. We value professional collaboration to improve our profession.’
