Dialogue Associates

Our Directors

Peter Garrett

Career – “Having studied architecture, run businesses in the hotel, construction and property development industries, and owned businesses in fashion clothing and motor industries, I became consumed by the potential of Dialogue in the 1980s, worked to develop the field of Dialogue and eventually became a full-time Dialogue consultant in the 1990s.“

Interests – “My childhood experiences in the Rhodesian bush left a lasting imprint in my soul of the seamless inter-relationships in nature. Now, whether working with clients, holidaying on beaches in Brazil or South Africa, or skiing in France or New Zealand, I am often reminded of that.”

Jane Ball

Career – “After studying Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at Oxford, and Criminology at Edinburgh, I took a less conventional route of diving into hands-on social and organisational intervention at a local level where success and failure stare you in the face. From 2002, Dialogue work transported this into consulting in commercial and government organisations.”

Interests – “I have the privilege of being Chair of Governors at Stratford-upon-Avon School. Along with hanging out with my family, I love to walk my dogs, watch football, run, and do anything practical - especially gardening and upcycling wooden pallets!”

Our Passion
