Nancy Doyle MSc. C.PSychol.
Nancy specialises in creating learning systems that can operate independently of outside support. She co-designed the Skills4Success programme for unemployed adults and the Transition programme for teenagers, putting into practice years of research evaluating Clean Language by devising a facilitation technique which is also ‘Clean’ and allows participants to develop their own solutions, with each other’s support. More can be found on the specific approach on the systemic modelling page. Nancy believes that peer coaching is the most effective intervention in communities and schools where resources are tight and external consultants/therapists are in short supply. Self generated solutions are more likely to fit the problem and be sustainable for the people they are intended to help.
Nancy has applied the modelling approach to working with adults who are dyslexic and has developed a unique programme for people who want to improve symptoms such as poor short term memory, difficulties in prioritising and organising and processing information. Read the case study for more information.
Nancy has worked with Caitlin since coming across Caitlin’s ground-breaking ‘Metaphors@Work’ programme and together they have developed more and more inventive ways of bringing these advanced coaching, communication and team work skills into areas of social exclusion. Previous to becoming a partner in Training Attention Ltd, Nancy was Head of Learning and Development for several organisations, an Operations Manager for a social care recruitment company and a mental health support worker. This varied background creates a broad base of understanding the public and private sector as well as senior management experience.
Nancy strives to bring this exciting work into a more academic framework and to this aim, ensures that Training Attention consistently evaluates projects over time. Nancy passionately believes that as a matter of integrity we should consider the long term outcomes of our work, ensuring that people are indeed benefiting as we would hope and making sure that we are not wasting time and money. Long term evaluations of our larger projects are available by contacting Nancy.
