In FLOW

We’ve decided to flow together as a team, a team who have loved working together for years.

Our discussions began to turn to something we truly valued and nurtured in our lives.  Tony had been musing on the idea of flow– I am sure you have heard of it.. if not, I am sure you recognise it..  It is a state of timelessness, a balance of potential and challenge, fluidity of action and thought.  It is when we are highly productive and in the moment.

When this concept first came to be it was through the research of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.  Mihaly is  a Hungarian psychologist who noticed people used the metaphor of fluidity (‘like a flowing river’) when they described a unique state of concentration or complete absorption in an activity and its situation.  Most importantly they described a state of Happiness.

Okay – so back to our team.  Performing teams have incredible synergy and flow. We are Facilitators of Online Learning (FLOw) – a diverse and highly skilled team who share a love of learning, design and change.   Our other shared passion is Leadership – developing great leaders at every level.  Leadership in its most inclusive and future facing form.  Leaders who can FLOW.

Nature’s Whirlygig

I often stroll through the local park. In summer the Sycamore Trees offer their perfectly, wonderfully designed whirlygig fruits..

Every now and again I’ll pick up a seed on a wing, and toss it high into the air.  I love watching the perfect spin of the flight downwards – slightly pushed by the gentle breath of the wind.

The whirling flight of the Sycamore seed inspired me to lend its name to this new company. It encapsulates what I love about our environment, our natural curiosity and how nature has slowly and carefully created a wing of opportunity that seeks new growth.

Sycamore Learning is committed to making the most of opportunities for you: its about generating change consciously and positively.  Sometimes we need a time and place to think, a professional friend to listen, and a meeting of minds that leaves you excited and ready for creating something new.  This is what we love and do.

If your love is learning, leadership and creating a positive future keep in touch – and watch this space as the wing of opportunity spins your way.
