Tim Foote

My work and vocation is in working with the stuff between us – how we are with each other, and how we can learn, shift and change. I specialize in working with complexity authentically and collaboratively. This means helping people (and organisations) to grow their own capacity to shift relationships into new patterns, communication practices and ways of being.

My professional training is in conflict and peace work, but I’ve worked across lots of areas in my career, both internally and as a consultant. This includes impact-focused consulting and major social change projects, including working with volunteers; mediation, conciliation and facilitation (in community, family, corporate, partnerships, and regulatory contexts); and developing and running training and workshops; and, of course, providing professional supervision. For the past few years, I've been working as a public servant in a central government agency.

Outside of work, I’m a father, gardener, musician, and a volunteer in the arts and community sectors. I use he/him pronouns, I’m queer / part of the rainbow communities, and I’m a proud Wellingtonian.
