SUMMARY:Workshop: Exploring Decision Making through Painting
DESCRIPTION:This one-day workshop uses painting as a hands-on way to explore decision-making. The day begins in the Old Palace before moving to the West Garden\, with time to network over lunch at the Coach House Kitchen\, followed by further time to paint. \nParticipants will explore how they make decisions under pressure through painting\, working with limited time\, uncertainty\, and evolving possibilities on a blank canvas. This process reveals individual decision-making patterns\, from instinctive responses to more considered\, delayed choices. The workshop focuses on self-awareness rather than artistic ability\, requiring no prior experience\, and examines how these approaches translate into everyday decision-making\, including the roles of assumptions\, risk appetite\, emotion\, and self-judgement. \n  \nWhy Attend?\n\nCreate two paintings across a full day of painting and networking\, exploring different techniques.\nLearn practical decision-making approaches and how they translate into your painting.\nGain insight during a dedicated session with a guest leadership coach.\nEnjoy a small group setting (maximum of 12) designed for discussion and idea-sharing.\nPaint in the West Garden at Hatfield House\, with all oil painting materials provided.\nBuffet lunch at the Coach House Kitchen\, with refreshments available throughout the day.\n\n  \nDate\nThursday 6th August \n  \nTime\n9:30am to 6:30pm \n  \nLocation\nUpper Solar\, Old Palace and West Garden\, Hatfield House \n  \nTicket Prices\n£180 per person \nLimited spaces are available\, so please register in advance to secure your place and avoid missing out. \nTo register for the workshop\, please click here and complete the details requested in the email.
