Join us for our Small Group Conversations facilitated by Clore Leadership Associates
If you are looking for a space to download and reflect on challenges you’re facing or opportunities to develop in the future, why not sign up to our Small Group Conversations? These sessions are a series of facilitated conversations to provide spaces for mutual support and reflection to explore the issues, challenges and opportunities being faced in your professional life.
We are pleased to be working with our experienced Clore Leadership Associates who will be facilitating these sessions.
Who is it for?
Our Small Group Conversations are for leaders working for organisations or who are freelancers / self-employed in the cultural sector. You don’t need to be leading or managing teams, and we welcome those from all levels of experience in their careers.
How does it work?
You and your group (10 in each group) will have 3 sessions working with the same facilitator each time. The groups will be made up of a mixture of leaders from a range of sectors, levels and regions.
Maximum participants: 10 per workshop.
Payment is ‘Pay what you decide’ with a minimum of £5. Our suggested amount is up to £30 + VAT for all three sessions which equates to £10 per session.
If you have any questions, please email [email protected].
Really useful to be in a quiet reflective and supportive space.

About the Facilitators
Prince Taylor works with organisations and people across multiple sectors to elicit a more considered approach to work and life. Primarily practising in the film industry with Latent Pictures, Prince’s focus on the intersectionality of leadership and wellbeing results in working relationships that centre on authenticity and sincerity. Results that are impactful in the short term and sustainable over the long term ensure there is value inherent in all of his collaborations. His use of coaching methods to nurture environments of discovery and practise along with a keen attention to transferability are elements that Prince is most recognised for.
Amanda Smethurst is an independent facilitator, coach and consultant with a focus on reflective practice and peer learning within the cultural sector, and a love of supporting people to understand what makes their heart sing. Communities, culture and place has been a passion. Throughout her career, initially as a community artist, as the director of Artlink in Hull; and in a range of roles including director London at Arts Council England, within cultural and HE sectors, and local government; and now as a freelancer, she has always championed ways for people to shape the culture and places around them. She’s also always been committed to supporting the development of individuals and organisations. This is still what excites and intrigues her now and has been core to her freelance work since 2010, working with clients from the British Council and Streetwise Opera, to the Greater London Authority and Arts Council Wales, and Creative People and Places. Amanda is a Clore Fellow, and is the chair of Middle Child Theatre in Hull. She’s also a mum, a potter, a gardener and a keen swimmer, which all make her heart sing.
