Summer School is more than a course. It is an event and a celebration of the possibilities of the Solution Focused approach which takes place annually in the heart of London in August. 'Newbies' and 'oldies' alike will attend Summer School working along side each other and learning from each other. There will be social events for those who choose in the evenings but the course above all is an exploration of the latest developments in this exciting, generous, appreciative, effective, efficient, empowering, exciting (yes it really is) way of working. The programme is always responsive to the group but has typically included presentations, exercises and live demonstrations. Chris and Harvey and Evan will look forward to your company and your unique contribution!
