A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

Nick Heap

I was a research chemist with ICI, a large chemical company based in the UK. I then moved into organisation development with ICI in 1974. On the way, I was a Samaritan and a Marriage Guidance Counsellor (Now “Relate”). I have been a self-employed facilitator of change and learning since 1982. I work with individuals, teams, relationships between groups, and organisations in the private, charity, and public sectors. I have extensive and successful experience as a counsellor, facilitator, trainer, and coach. I have used Appreciative Inquiry formally and informally since 2004. I publish everything I learn about personal, management, and organisation development on my website (300 articles and tools) and on Linkedin.
