About Us
The Values of Fresh Air Thinking - How We Work
- We help people to work together well throughout organisations, in teams and as individuals - through the process of learning.
- We recognise the need to work closely with our clients so that through the relationships we build will come the knowledge and understanding to create the right learning conditions.
- We share a philosophy that values people as individuals, each with their own potential for development, and within organisations, as having the capabilities to create purposeful and supportive contexts for personal development.
- We use a flexible style which allows issues to be explored as they arise. Our work is characterised by a clear understanding of purpose, attention to the individual balanced by the organisational context and awareness of learning differences. We use short inputs on underpinning theory to expand thinking and support learning. We create opportunities to work in differing environments, as appropriate to the people and the learning - both in the workplace and away from it, indoors and outdoors.
- We bring a wealth of experience in the field of personal development - in particular where the aims of a programme support and value individuals' development, change and progression.
Our Approach
We believe that learning is more effective when people are given opportunities to immediately practice a new skill or concept. We provide such opportunities by ensuring that learning is meaningful, relevant and enjoyable.
We use a variety of indoor and outdoor exercises and activities to assist with creating conditions that match the learning and development needs of participants. Please go to the Our Approach page for more details.
Associate Trainers
We draw upon a group of professional associate trainers who are experienced in human resources development, experiential learning and outdoor learning approaches.
Peter Braidwood, with over 20 years experience as a personal development trainer, heads up the operations. Please go to the Associate Trainers page for more details about our key personnel.
