The Relational Way

A 3 month training in relational skills for sustainable performance, resilience, and growth.

The Why

In fast-paced, high-pressure environments, it's easy for connection to fall through the cracks. But when human relationships weaken, so does everything else: communication breaks down, engagement drops, and potential gets lost.

The organisations that thrive — even in uncertainty — are those where people feel heard, valued, and connected. That’s where The Relational Way comes in: a high-impact, immersive training programme that equips your people with the deep relational skills they need to work with more presence, care, and confidence.

Why invest in relational training?

Most leadership and skills programmes focus on "what to do" — setting goals, giving feedback, managing tasks.
The Relational Way goes deeper: it transforms how people show up, communicate, and collaborate at the human level.

By investing in relational capacity, your organisation can:

  • Build stronger, more resilient teams that navigate stress and change without losing trust

  • Reduce miscommunication, conflict, and disengagement before they escalate

  • Strengthen psychological safety, encouraging innovation, honesty, and accountability

  • Equip new and emerging managers with the relational skills they must master to lead effectively — especially in hybrid, frontline, and client-facing environments

  • Foster a culture where well-being and performance are not at odds, but deeply linked

This is not a "nice-to-have" soft skills training.
It's a foundational investment in your organisation’s long-term health, effectiveness, and ability to thrive.

  • Sam, thank you so much for your Circling workshop which completely blew my mind. Coming into the session, I thought I knew what it meant to be present, to listen and to pay attention but coming out of the session I realised how little I know. Thank you for showing me what is possible when I ground myself into true presence

  • Oli creates a beautiful, supportive space for us to explore ourselves, build connection and feel present. A wonderful experience.

    Ian, previous participant

  • I often experienced high-intensity emotions during these sessions, but I felt a lot of trust and care in the environment, and so I was able to express them. I came out of each session feeling aliveness, as if everything looked sharper - I always enjoyed my subsequent tube rides home where I noticed and savoured a lot more in my surroundings than usual.

  • “I was new to circling and didn’t know what to expect, but Oli led the way and held the space beautifully. I think there’s huge value to circling - in learning to bring a meditative spirit to interactions and deepening connection with others.”

  • I felt a sense of deep-allowing in the way the space was held, and I'm so grateful for this. It's as if this invited all the dynamism in the room to emerge (exciting!!! / activating!!!), and for us to witness each other in our now-ness. There were also some stand-out moments for me, of feeling directly invited into "really being here now" in connection, that feel so precious, and I'm gonna take them with me like little glowing "presence portals" in my life-napsack! Thank you for the realness, nowness, allowing, holding,
