 There are so many acronyms these days… so what is a P.A.T.H.? Very simply put – a path that you create with a facilitator that leads you to your chosen future. It represents a simple planning process called Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope, developed by Marsha Forrest, John O’Brien and Jack Pearpoint, and in the 1990’s in Toronto. I was very fortunate to be trained by Rosanna von Sacken from Canada as she facilitated me virtually through my P.A.T.H.

 When coming together digitally with leaders in your organisation, the meeting often becomes very task focussed. With the past couple of years demanding a significant increase in video conferencing as our default meeting platform, it's time that we re-introduce the human element of connection.
