Harlene Anderson did several workshop presentations during May in England. Among these was a one day workshop in London on Collaborative Mentoring and Coaching. Sponsored by the Appreciative Dialogues series and hosted by BP at Brittanic House, the day with Harlene provided a theoretical framework for the value of collaboration and dialogical processes and their relationship to Appreciative Inquiry; and in turn, the value for coaching and mentoring. In sharing her work with the group of organizational consultants and business mentors and coaches, and the way in which she did it, Harlene also highlighted some the often taken-for-granted premises of AI and demonstrated, along with the participants, the creative potential of collaboration.

Harlene is available to do individually tailored workshops for organizations, businesses and professional groups on a variety of topics including effective leadership, team building, creating coaching and mentoring programs, and relationship skills.
