Speaker Biographies  

Nancy Kline

7143_nancy kline photo.jpg

Nancy Kline is President of Time To Think, an international coaching and leadership development Company. Time To Think has offices in the UK, South Africa, the USA and Australia. Nancy teaches coaches and leaders to become experts in creating Thinking Environments with their clients and their teams.

Nancy began piecing together the Thinking Environment in 1973 when she co-founded Thornton Friends School near Washington DC. She and her colleagues set out to answer the question: What does it take for people to think for themselves - with rigour, imagination, courage and grace?

The answers, pointing ultimately to the behaviours known now as the Ten Components of a Thinking Environment, eventually led to an understanding of the sequence of questions the human mind seems naturally to ask itself when it is breaking through. This process is now called The Thinking Partnership Session and is regarded by many as essential Coaching expertise.

Nancy continues, in collaboration with the 50 Time To Think Coaches globally, to discover and refine this breakthrough process, and to work with coaches to refine its use in executive coaching and team coaching.

As a coach herself, Nancy values most the journey the client takes to their own, independent thinking. As a teacher of coaches she finds that creating these conditions for thinking are among the most challenging aspects of professional coaching and the most rewarding.

Nancy is author of several books including the best-seller Time To Think: Listening To Ignite The Human Mind, and the newly launched More Time To Think: A Way Of Being In The World.

Nancy was born and raised in New Mexico and spent the first part of her adult life in Washington DC. In 1990 she married Christopher Spence and moved to England. They live in Oxfordshire.
