I run workshops and talks that are designed to get managers and their teams thinking and behaving differently - with fewer buzzwords and more results.
Committed to delivering training that people will actually enjoy, these sessions focus on what truly helps people in the middle of organisations - not just tasks, timelines, and targets.
Talks last for 60 minutes followed by 15-30 minutes Q&A, and can be conducted virtually or in-person.
For a deeper dive into any of the topics, I offer half-day workshops for a more practical and interactive format.
"No one likes change". That's because change is complicated. But what takes change initiatives from being complicated to truly complex isn't how long, expensive or intrictate the project is... it's the people involved. Whether dealing with teams or leaders who are tired, uncertain or quietly resistant, I'll share techniques for keeping change moving - and for bringing your people along with you.
We'll cover how to:
-
Lead change conversations without over-explaining or sugar-coating
-
Spot early signs of disengagement before performance drops
-
Balance empathy with accountability when pressure is high
-
Keep teams focused when priorities and structures are shifting

To reteam or not to reteam... If your team is constantly busy but rarely feels in control, the issue isn’t effort - it’s flow. This session looks at how work moves (or doesn’t) through teams, and how to find the sweet spot between collaboration and output as organisations scale.

Identify where work gets stuck, diluted, or deprioritised
-
Create clearer rhythms, boundaries, and decision points
-
Reduce unnecessary meetings and context switching

-
What actually drains resilience in teams (often unintentionally)
-
How leaders can build psychological safety under pressure

Supporting wellbeing without lowering performance standards

The world of work has changed but, for many, management styles have not. The question of how teams work together best no longer has a straightforward answer, and many lack the tools to uncover what 'good' looks like in a virtual or hybrid workplace. This session focuses on leading effectively when visibility, connection, and clarity are harder to maintain.
Areas we’ll cover:
-
Building trust and accountability without constant monitoring
-
Spotting disengagement when you’re not in the same room
-
Creating clarity when informal communication disappears
-
Leading presence and performance across distributed teams
