Special Event: Asset-Based Thinking with Colin Falconer

SAL Consulting, Learning Infusion Suite 1.05, 22-36 Mountain Street, Ultimo
Tickets $125+GST (light refreshments included)
Imagine a world where we all are valued and defined by our individual talents, strengths and passions, not by our shortcomings or lack of achievements. How much closer would we be to achieving our goals if we changed our thinking to mobilise supportive vision, relationships and communities?
Asset Based Thinking offers a fresh vision for our work with clients. Rather than focusing just on specific issues such as homelessness, which society labels as problems through a deficit based lens, Asset Based Thinking is aspirational – it explores the possibilities in each individual to guide and inspire them to create opportunities and achieve their goals.
Join our special guest speaker Colin Falconer, who was Director of Innovation for 15 years at The Foyer Federation, a successful multiservice program for youth operating in Great Britain, USA and Australia. Colin will share his experiences in the sector and the key factors for successful client outcomes.
The session will cover the following:
- a background to different asset-based approaches;
- introduce a new framework to help reflect on asset-based practice and influence work in different contexts;
- allow participants to explore strengths;
- challenges and opportunities using the framework;
- and encourage further conversation and development.
