More about Walk Your Talk

Who should come?

Anybody with an interest in (or passion for) balancing financial, social and environmental needs in their work.  You will leave refreshed, inspired, motivated and equipped with some kind of action plan.

Walk Your Talk uses Open Space to help people find their way and get what they need from the event.  It is common practice in Open Space to offer a central question alongside the theme suggested by the title in order to help draw everything together or provide ‘an answer’ at the end.  Since Walk Your Talk events result in many different individual conclusions, we no longer impose a central question but invite people to consider the issues suggested by the word ‘Balance’ to enrich their conversations with others.

Walking and Talking are dynamic activities – scenery, subjects, the ground underfoot and emotional undercurrents all change – how do we stay balanced while all this is going on?  ‘Balance’ reminds us of the continual tensions between hearts and minds, structure and chaos, birth and death and all the things that being alive entails.  What are the possibilities?  How do we keep ourselves and our organisations balanced enough to steer a steady course?

There are no formal workshops, talks or presentations, but you’re free to offer them, and even bring along your own case studies or projects.  In other words, you generate the agenda; you talk about what you need to talk about with people who share your interests and concerns.

Whatever the questions you bring to Walk Your Talk, you should leave with a better understanding, new sources of support, and the means to make progress in practical ways.
