FAQ’s

  • I use a variety of strategies and exercises to tackle a wide range of challenges. Typical examples include:

    • Helping a creative team collaborate and decide on the best strategy to move forward.

    • Supporting a group (possibly after a restructure) in developing new, effective processes.

    • Assisting cross-functional teams in understanding each other better and creating harmonious workflows and communication.

    • Facilitating leadership strategy retreats.

  • I provide a series of structured exercises designed to help the group contribute constructively and democratically. You may recognise some tools and tactics from training sessions you've experienced in the past. I guide the team through these exercises, sequencing discussions, visualising challenges and ideas, and steering the group toward the desired outcomes.

  • It depends:

    • A quick taster session can last as little as 1.5 hours.

    • For more substantial outcomes, a full day is usually required.

    • Two-day sessions work well for deeper exploration of issues or when the team needs time to bond and improve collaboration skills.

    • Leadership retreats or full design sprints typically take 4–5 days.

  • Absolutely! It’s crucial to understand your unique requirements: the specific challenges, desired outcomes, potential hidden agendas, personalities, and team dynamics. I aim to ensure every participant feels the workshop was 100% worthwhile and doesn’t regret stepping away from their day-to-day work. A tailored approach is essential to achieve this.

  • Costs depend on your goals, the time required, and whether follow-up materials or sessions are needed. After an initial conversation, I can provide a quick ballpark figure. Book a call here—it can take as little as 20 minutes, and I’m happy to schedule follow-ups to explore whether this is the right solution for you.

  • The ideal group size is 4–7 people, but I can work with as few as 3. I’ve also facilitated larger events where an entire company was split into breakout groups to complete the exercises.

  • Of course! I’m happy to have a scoping call to discuss your goals and explore whether a workshop can deliver the outcomes you need.

  • The major result will be more collaborative and productive teams, with greater clarity on their roadmap.

    In terms of specific results or documentation - your team are the experts in your company, product, and processes, so they are best placed to create their own results. But if additional documentation or evidence is required, I am always open to suggestions.

    Outcomes typically include:

    • A clear list of action points and responsibilities, such as a bulleted list or topline RACI chart, or a statement of intent jointly signed by the team.

    • A summary of the workshop in a deck or short video.

  • Yes! As long as there’s enough space for the group to participate without interrupting others, workshops can be held at your office. You don’t need beanbags or vast whiteboards—just enough room for everyone to sit, move around, and collaborate. Wall space is helpful (windows work well too), but I can use alternative ways to capture ideas if needed.

  • Yes, they can! While it’s generally easier if everyone is either remote or in person, remote workshops can be run using tools like Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet. I use online tools for note-taking and collaboration and have a few tricks to maintain energy levels and engagement.
