Being Restorative

What if you could learn a way of working that will enable you to become a master communicator and understand people in minutes rather than months, improve a relationship to advance your career or avoid potential conflict and maintain a relationship you already have?

Restorative Practice is a ‘way of being’ where the focus is on building strong, meaningful, trusting and respectful ‘relationships’, and repairing relationships when difficulties or harm arises.

Strong meaningful relationships are formed when we work alongside people.

Working WITH people means providing High Support and High Challenge.
