Increasingly Judith uses solution focused approaches, offering rapid, participative, empowering ways forward; this can be called Appreciative Inquiry.

Examples include:

An awayday for senior staff and managers at the Greater Manchester Immigration Unit to consider changes necessary to adapt to new funding requirements.

  The way Judith structured the day led us through reflection on what we do now through to prioritiizing what we need to do next in order to address the challenges that presently face organisations like our own. Judith clearly understood the aims and ethos of our organisation and provided exactly the right amount of direction. We came out in a very positive mood, feeling that the time 'away' from service delivery had been used most constructively. The report from the away day is a document we have referred to often and the priorities we identified that day have informed much of our activity since.
