Day three's sessions were run predominantly by David Megginson, founder of the European Coaching and Mentoring Council and Professor of Human Resource Development and Sheffield Hallam University, whose antics during yesterday’s games had already rather endeared him to the participants. The most insightful part of the day, I thought, was to watch him conduct a live and unrehearsed coaching session with a fellow participant.

The program finished at 5pm after a long thank you and goodbye. But this was not unwarranted as I think all participants must have come away from the course having made some sincere new connections and perhaps even having undergone a personal development experience themselves.

I also found it very positive that the largest faith representation of participants was from my own tradition. This is not something that would be expected in my experience from a multi faith based event. So it is particularly pleasing to deduce that there must be an extraordinarily talented and rather flourishing generation of leaders emerging from my community.

It was a thoroughly engaging three days and FiL is a programme I would not hesitate recommend to any emerging faith community leader.
