Our approach
The PEAR process combines psychological education with active learning methods. We believe that individuals are the experts in their own lives.
We increase performance and build more productive teams, leading to better results.
A combination of psychological education, experiential learning, and a warm, facilitative style makes the PEAR approach distinctive. We place people in the role of experts in their work and life. Our programmes are dynamic, memorable, participant-led, and solution-focused.
If you are serious about retaining, developing and motivating people — and you also desire a productive, skilled and well led organisation — then we would love to have a conversation with you.
Ethos
Our approach to development is adult.
Adults are free, they have choice and agency and they are responsible for themselves. Adults develop best when their development is self-directed, they actively participate as sources of expertise and development is tailored to individuals needs.
Our approach is experiential.
We sometimes use applied theatre; we design scenes from everyday work life and we use masks in our learning approach. We run thematic games and exercises to boost creativity, increase subconscious, somatic and emotional learning and to make things enjoyable. We use skills practice, pairs exercises and facilitated discussions.
Our approach is psychologically and therapeutically informed.
It is strengths-based, relational, compassionate, affirms what people already know, raises self awareness. We recognise that our minds, as well as what we do, makes us who we are.
