Climate Shift uses creative activities to explore how a deeper connection to nature and our values can open more space for climate-positive action in our personal and professional lives.

“Addressing climate change and climate anxiety through creative activities, conversations and immersive sessions and moving from feelings to action can only be a positive thing. I have worked with Greg since 2008 and I can think of no better, or more experienced facilitator and trainer to hold and navigate individual and collective responses to such complex and difficult issues.”

Steve Moffitt MBE, CEO, A New Direction

“Having attended a Climate Shift workshop led by Greg, my understanding of my own, and others’, feelings about climate change developed and with that came greater clarity about my own role and what I could do, wanted to do, and had influence over to help change my world and therefore the world. I would absolutely recommend Greg’s workshops to anyone wanting to contemplate their own agency to create change.”

Rachel Tomlinson, Headteacher, Barrowford Primary School, UK

“I really appreciated Greg’s approach, as it combines a deep understanding of human psychology with our shared need to create change on a greater level. I found I was looking at a familiar topic in a new way by the end of our session.”

James MacDonald, Director, International School of Brussels

“This workshop gets to the heart of what many of us grapple with in our relationship with the climate emergency. It is deftly facilitated and the space, and our thinking, beautifully held. I still carry around, months later, the words I wrote to myself in the session.”

Alex Bell FRSA, Founder, Leadership Coaching Programmes

“I went into Greg and Jigyasa’s workshop feeling despair and resignation about climate change. It was too big. We had gone too far. But within a few hours, I was able to park that futility and move toward possibility. Toward what I can do, especially with the will and commitment of others. The energy of hope was palpable.”

Jenny Anderson, Author and Journalist (who participated in a session co-delivered with poet-educator Jigyasa Labroo in Bangalore, India.)

“Greg’s ability to balance precision with playfulness through his facilitation is remarkable. He creates spaces that embody deep listening and intellectual rigour and yet remain enjoyable and engaging. He makes this look easy. It’s not.”

Samantha Holdsworth, Founder and CEO, Clowns Without Borders UK

“Culture sensitive in the best sense, Greg’s work taps into the deepest areas of participants’ learning needs, irrespective of sector.”

Lynn Yau, CEO, The Absolutely Fabulous Theatre Connection (Hong Kong)

“Greg holds a room with warmth and compassion, steering groups through difficult topics and conversations with consideration and balance, supporting everyone to contribute in their own way. He has a great range and depth of knowledge, tools, and approaches to draw upon which means he is able to take a flexible and creative approach to leading groups which I value very much.”

Laura Fuller, Senior Programme Manager, A New Direction

“Greg has the skill and generosity to be able to facilitate activities and experiences that enable anyone attending to feel at ease and to be heard, valued, and supported.”

Heather Stradling, Principal Researcher and Consultant, Tavistock Institute of Human Relations

“In Greg’s sessions, his subtle yet powerful facilitation style instills a sense of calm and trust, even in moments of uncertainty.”

Milda Laužikaitė, CEO, Kurybines Jungtys (Creative Connections), Lithuania

“I have long been an admirer of Greg’s work, reinforced by participating in a session on climate change. His facilitation was gentle yet challenging; it was both collaborative and reflective. That one workshop has triggered actions that have now gained a life of their own months later.”

Lord Jim Knight, UK Schools Minister 2006-2009

“Greg helped our students understand how and what they feel about climate change. It was a steppingstone in their conservation journeys to building on their unique roles as agents of change in our ever-changing world. The activities and experiences were practical and creative, building on important values.”
