Elspeth McAdam is an experienced trainer, therapist and consultant. She has developed extensive use of methods of systemic therapy blended with appreciative inquiry. She uses these to work with innovative and novel approaches to transforming of sexual abuse and violence. She works with organisations, commercial enterprises, communities and schools and is much sought after as a therapist.

Vernon Cronen is an expert in the practical theory of understanding and making sense of stories in the organisation and in using that understanding to transform organisational life. Inspired by the philosophy of John Dewey he has developed ways of creating a fascination for "moments of consummation" in organisational life. Vernon is Professor of Communication University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Peter Lang finds it fascinating to explore with families, couples and individuals, through the stories they live and tell what their own resources are and how they create connections and understandings to live full lives emotionally and physically. Be it a severe or life threatening illness, a death or traumatic experience a challenging situation, he will share how he has joined peoples worlds and from within them worked with people to create and live full lives. He will work with people in the Summer School developing skills and abilities that he has found helpful to others.

Martin Little works with networks of people in organisations enabling people to develop collaboration and team work through the shared storying process. He has been working with a whole community in the middle of Sweden developing transformative practices involving the life-giving power of community. He consults to organisations in Scandinavia and England. Martin is a Co- Director of the KCC Foundation and Organisational Consultant.

John Shotter is professor emeritus of interpersonal relations in the Department of Communication, University of New Hampshire. His long-term interest is in the social conditions conducive to people having a voice in the development of participatory democracies and civil societies. He brings valuable insights to the social constructionist ways of working and suggest change can take place through attention to details in organisations especially when leaders are sensitive to unique moments that open up possibilities.
