Heather is a brilliant written, presenter and a crisp clear thinker. She is co-author of the Bog Plan – a book that describes a process of doing ‘planning’ with groups – over time. It builds on the work of Connie Lyle O’Brien and Beth Mount – but with a Scottish lilt.
Heather also consolidated/created a piece entitled ‘the Values of Inclusion’ – which is feathered here as a short video of 10 core values of inclusion. It is always an excellent element to include in training.
