Welcome to Presence In Action Collective

We are a social enterprise offering unique learning and development opportunities to fee-paying clients, enabling us to work with charities, groups and communities, and individuals who do not ordinarily have the same access to such opportunities.

Our offer includes Presence in Action (PIA) coaching, leadership development, reflective learning groups, experiential workshops, PIA supervision and more.

We work with adults, children, 1:1 and groups across ages, disciplines, roles, neurodiversity and contexts.

Our Collective commitments are to:

Nurture each person’s capacity to advocate clearly for themselves and to become ever more resourceful and adaptable, whatever they do, wherever they are.
Seed conditions for generative relationships amongst people in all aspects of their lives.
Meet ever-changing, unpredictable situations with integrity, dignity and humility.

Whether you are interested in large scale cultural change, team development or nurturing individual capacities to thrive in a volatile world, we would love to explore if we can be of service. Reach out to hello@piacollective.org and we will follow up with a time to chat.

Organisations we work with

“I found myself reflecting on how deeply Presence in Action has been part of my personal and professional life since 2018. I’ve also felt privileged to witness the impact this framework has had within the ESMS community, through training, supervision and peer learning, supporting colleagues to pause, reflect and engage more consciously with themselves and with one another. Presence in Action has touched many lives across our organisation, helping to shape more thoughtful participation, collaboration and connection.”
