We all remember our childhoods outdoors; exploring in nature, hitting things with sticks, making dens, seemingly endless days outside with no screens to interfere with our imaginations.
Nowadays, competition for our attention is fierce and we have less time to decelerate, reflect, imagine our futures. We’re driven by our to-do lists, rushing to pursue goals without questioning their value. We spend far too much time inside staring at a screen rather than outside in nature; the space in which we were in fact designed to think best.
Outside, our attention is restored. We have different conversations, create new connections, form new ideas. We sort out our thoughts and we begin to build our own, powerful, imagined futures.

From accidental manager to confident leader: a workshop with Fi Craig
9.30am
-1pm
adm-Indicia, 40 Queen Square, Bristol, BS1 4QP
BCI Workshop
Accidental managers are usually first-time people managers who’ve been thrown in at the deep end – still doing their old job while figuring out how to manage people through trial and error.
If someone on your team has just stepped into management, they’re probably juggling people and projects, wearing two hats, and figuring it out as they go. That’s exactly why this Accidental Managers half-day workshop exists.
Join Fi Craig to feel confident leading people, define your own version of good management, and gain practical frameworks to guide you as you figure the rest out. Gain confidence and simple tools to start leading a team effectively straight away.
