“I have been fortunate enough both to be trained by Jamie as a facilitator and also to work with him on a project that has required a great deal of creativity, lateral thinking, empathy and sensitivity. Jamie has been a fantastic partner in this, bringing a holistic viewpoint to all questions and decisions, interacting with project participants with great care, attention, generosity and vulnerability, and being eager to pilot and adopt creative and innovative tech-based facilitation techniques that have expanded our palette of experience at New Citizenship Project. It has been a pleasure to work with him and I highly recommend him as a partner.”

“I asked Jamie to co-design a pan-European bi-lingual event on Zoom for 70 to 150 participants and I am really greatful he accepted. We were well aligned on the key principles - to make it easy for participants to access, engage in and co-design the event. Jamie and his colleague have trained our hosts, interpreters and participants in QiQoChat and Zoom and provided instructions also in an on-line document and a video. They were both very flexible and responsive to any needs we had. The event was well received and helped participants and hosts show that meaningful conversations can happen even on-line. I am sure this is just a beginning! Thank you for this experience!”

“In support of a gathering of experts, Jamie and I co-facilitated a hybrid session. In addition to his deep understanding of embodied practices, Jamie brought creative questions and embodied exercises to the experts in order to help them move from thinking to listening. It was Jamie's presence, patience, and improvisational thinking that made the gathering productive. It was his calm energy that infused life into the design. Jamie makes collaborating easy and enjoyable!”

“Jamie Colston has worked with me and for my org Community CoLab many times as a host and tech host. He has led and supported projects and he is always a pleasure to work with. Jamie is very committed, responsive, with attention to detail and solution focused. Jamie is great at thinking and planning ahead for different scenarios and able to remain calm and bring his zen spirit into the team when things fall into caos with the unexpected happening. He is very organised and also a great communicator. Jamie can handle big and complex events, he has most recently supported us at www.CoLabinternational.co.uk to deliver a series of online global conversation on a very challenging and complex topic and with simultaneous interpretation into various lenguajes and he was not just a joy to work with, he also brought in his brilliant and reassuring energy to help the team remain calm and make it look like ever was under control event when things were though. Highly recommended!

“Jamie supported over 75 of the Shambala festival team with or first online team event. He advised on event design and content, trained team members to co-host the event, and he and his team facilitated the meeting on the day. His ideas and technical know-how made the event exceed our expectations, with everyone actively involved during the day and feeling engaged and connected. We had overwhelmingly positive feedback. It was a great experience for us stat to finish.”

“I've worked with Jamie several times now where he has facilitated team development days. Going into the day, I was confident that it would be a success because he spent the time working out the unique goals and challenges our businesses face. During the session, he brought a sense of calm confidence that allowed us to focus on the task at hand. We had a really great day with Jamie and all of the attendees came away feeling empowered - having not realised how much of a positive influence he would bring! Would definitely recommend Jamie.”

“I just want to say a HUGE thank you to you for organising such a spectacular event. That was simply the best conference/summit/event I have ever had the honour of speaking at. You made something remarkable happen; your team were great facilitators, your choice of speakers brought fantastic energy to the day and the children seemed to be completely galvanised by the chance to become empowered to find their own voices. I salute you and you team for a truly great job done!”

“I had a fantastic one to one coaching/facilitation session with Jamie. He really took the time to understand my training needs and some of the internal challenges I face working day to day in my role. Jamie was easy to get along with and we quickly formed a connection allowing me to feel comfortable to share my experiences and challenges. My session combined some bespoke recommendations and solutions for meetings I want to hold at work along with practical tips and examples of great facilitation in general. It was really valuable session and I’ve come away with knowledge I know I’ll use throughout the rest of my career.”
