I’m Johnnie Moore, and I help people work better together

NIWthumbViv and I have now published the pdf copy of our new short book, Nothing is Written.

It’s based on our experiences facilitating and training groups from San Francisco to the Solomon Islands working with corporations charities, government bodies and colleges.

We share eight simple ideas that guide how we work:

Nothing is Written
Emotional Connectedness
Experiences over Explanation
Shared peril
Avoiding the teacher trance
The value of loose ends
Getting out of our heads
Getting over ourselves

We think it’s possible to create more engaging training that plays to human strengths and avoids many of the cliches found in training rooms worldwide.

You can download it here (pdf) and we hope you enjoy it!
