What I do
I help people find clarity in complexity and have more impact with less effort
Diagnostics that give a read of the system
Diagnostics give clarity. They often bring a sense of validation and relief because people have a picture that includes all they are experiencing, and explanations for confusing or contradictory data.
- The power and strengths of the system in its context: what’s been created, what’s working well
- Interference: what’s difficult; unused potential; recognisable systemic patterns
- Strategic intervention: concrete next steps
Facilitation that liberates the magic of groups
I provide a bubble for groups to be with each other in a different way and hold the process for leaders so they can focus on the conversation.
We release limiting patterns and emerge insight and energy that changes the field of what’s possible.
- Generative space: pause, regroup, connect, laugh, resource, inspire
- Expand perception and choice: play and build new muscle for resilience, agility and adaptability
- Collective action: more alignment, clarity and confidence, making the most of people’s capabilities and contributions
Systemic mapping to see the whole picture and act decisively
Map all the data you have about a situation including what’s held intuitively or unconsciously.
Connect the dots, uncover hidden connections and find coherence and clarity so you can act with greater confidence and impact.
- Test before you commit: know more about how your plans will land in a low-risk, high-insight way
- Navigate the sensitive: gain clarity on situations that are complex, stuck or sensitive
- Release interference: understand what’s needed for ease and flow
Build internal capacity in working at a system level
Cultivating systemic sense helps people ‘see’ systems more clearly – and spot the high-impact 2% shifts that make all the difference.
This is especially important when the stakes are high - with a new leader or direction, culture change or smoothing the path of a merger.
- Top team retreats and coaching: resource and ‘sharpen the eyes’ of those who shape the organisation
- Support for internal consultants and facilitators: practical approaches and techniques
- Peer-to-peer learning: support people and harness their ingenuity
Our conversations have helped me slow down, reframe how I show up, and be more intentional about the role I want to play, not just in this organisation, but in my broader journey as a leader. Thank you again for your generosity, insight, and warmth. I will carry a great deal of what we explored going forward, and I very much hope our paths cross again.”
Lycia Harper is the best virtual facilitator I’ve experienced: engaging, knowledgeable and exceptional at turning theory into practical insight. Professional, personable and genuinely invested in creating a great learning experience.
I can't recommend working with Lycia enough. Her guidance has helped me focus my professional career and trust my own path in life. I've been able to reconnect with the bigger vision about my business and find answers to the issues that were preventing me reaching the level I know is possible. She has gently supported me with precision and insight to discover new perspectives about my purpose and place in this world. Her sessions have been life-changing.
It felt like we were going on a voyage of discovery rather than merely stepping through a programme and as a result the outcomes were more substantial and went deeper.
