I recently had the pleasure of working with Steve Allman for our charity team’s away day, and the experience was truly exceptional. Steve’s refreshingly ‘analog’ approach—avoiding PowerPoint in favour of flip-charts, the universally loved post-it notes, and meaningful face-to-face interaction—created an environment where genuine collaboration flourished.
What impressed me most was Steve’s ability to maintain high energy throughout the session with his adaptable facilitation style and dynamic pacing. His extensive knowledge of NHS charities and their unique challenges was evident throughout the day, allowing him to tailor activities specifically to our context and needs.
Every team member remained fully engaged as we tackled problem-solving exercises, mapped out our vision, and developed greater self-awareness. Steve’s understanding of the healthcare charity sector helped us address our specific challenges with relevant, practical solutions.
The impact of Steve’s work extended well beyond the day itself. Our team left with valuable insights to reflect upon and, more importantly, actionable steps to implement. I highly recommend Steve to any organization, particularly those in the NHS charity sector, looking for a facilitator who can deliver meaningful results through authentic engagement.
