What previous participants said
“What a fantastic workshop Servane! Both in terms of content plus your mantra of ‘how one works together matters’ – amazing to see how much fertile ground that produces for brainstorming together.” ~Amita Gulati – Private Investor and Strategic Adviser.
“Thank you Servane, for expanding my mind with signals, with a group of thoughtful open-minded people, all in an hour on a Monday! Loved that you got us to notice our disagreements, and process our instinctive responses. Taking my insights into my future self with me as a I start the rest of my week. Lots to process still, thank you.” ~Esmee Wilcox – NED and Behavioural Change Specialist.
“The workshop was highly engaging and informative, allowing us to reflect on why we sometimes feel “underqualified” or “not good enough” to do certain things. While each of our stories was personal and unique, Servane led us through a series of exercises to overcome this mental block. By the end, what connected all of us was a united sense of purpose and new-found confidence to take away into our individual lives.” ~ Jamie. Member at The Conduit, London.
“I found the generative listening workshop with Servane was a fantastic exercise in collective thinking. The way she coached, moderated, explained and queried allowed us, participants, to interact with her and with each other in a way that created what were – at least for me personally – many new insights, and not only into this particular topic. The workshop has deepened my understanding and enhanced my capacity to listen.
My freshest thinking: I’m going to re-appreciate all that’s gone right when I have trusted, professionally and personally. Far more than what’s gone wrong :)”. ~ Emilie Goodall. Impact Investment specialist.
“It’s amazing what you can uncover in such a short time!”
“Thank you for the opportunity, Servane. Your session brought a round trip back to myself, breaking barriers one step at the time”
“[I find] SO many situations where learnings from your listening workshop are coming-in handy, particularly at this stage still, awareness what I could have said (or, more accurately, what I could have not said!”
I was recently given the opportunity to take part in a workshop called ‘The ten components of the thinking environment’ with Servane Mouazan. I wasn’t sure what to expect – I didn’t feel like I had any particular difficulties thinking, and questioned whether this was an effective use of my time. I was wrong to doubt. What I experienced in the hour will have a lasting, positive impact – on me, those around me and the relationships I build in the future. This was fascinating, thought provoking, engaging and good fun. Thank you Servane – I am truly grateful for everything you shared with us. ~Davina Beattie – Business Transformation Director, The Hive Consultancy.

May 2024: Get valuable insights from a team without being given unsolicited advice
For #InternationalCoachingWeek, I ran a Time To Think Council experiment that enabled a presenter to collect wisdom from a circle of supporters to solve a problem, although without being given advice or told what she should do… We discovered how the power of independent thinking and story telling can contribute to shape and share information that is useful, precise, informed, and relevant. We learned how to structure a powerful conversation that draws out the best thinking from everyone involved. The Time To Think Council offers an effective way that allows for the wisdom of the group to make its way unintrusively into the solution-focused process of one person.

June 2023 – Special session: “Time to think: Experiment Generative Futures-Thinking”
CONFERENCE: EMPOWERING FUTURES – Long-term Governance, Democracy and Futures Research
There is an urgent need for long-term futures-thinking in order to sustain possibilities for alternative and creative solutions to complex crises and empower futures. For the next Futures Conference, we will gather in Turku to discuss the futures of democracy, trust, power, and sustainability, which are tightly connected to these crises.
Servane’s interactive session invited the audience to discover how a Thinking Environment is a prerequisite for engaging in Futures-Thinking with rigor, imagination, and elegance. Together, we explored how we can think well on our own and with a group, grow authentic human connections and modes of interactions that generate the finest thinking to explore uncertain and complex horizons. https://futuresconference2023.com
Are you seeking to increase clarity, wisdom and drive on your board?
In this interactive workshop, Servane guided the audience through a few applications of the Thinking Environment, a unique approach used to tackle problem-solving, reduce conflict and find creative answers to questions dominating your board, from the most basic to the most complicated. Through this process: – People make space for innovative board participation and for authentic and inclusive communications. – The team improves its capacity to interact well, collaborate, grow and learn, at whichever stage they are at and whatever the format (1-2-1, meetings, workshops). Past participants said that through this approach, they’d strengthened and maximised their governance brief without holding themselves back and made the whole board experience more enjoyable and insightful.
Can coaching skills elevate yourleadership abilities?
In this live session, Servane Mouazan and Diane Perlman unpack a management challenge around team management, progression and communication and show you how coaching techniques can work in real-time. Come and think along and share what you notice! Listen to the recording here.
27 March 2023 – In person – What if you could see yourself in a new future world? During this interactive session, we looked for signals, which are micro-stories that hint at where the world could be heading in the future. Then participants met their future self, discovering how their values and actions might turn out in that future, and what the consequences will be for them and the world. This free, in-person, interactive session was facilitated by Servane Mouazan, Foresight Impact Champion, Futures-Thinker & Time To Think Coach.
