Talks & Workshops
Is this you?
You’re planning an offsite, strategy session, or leadership gathering and want something that does more than energise the room. You’re looking for work that gives people clearer language, sharper perspective, and a way to think differently about leadership, culture, and responsibility.
You may be working through change, transition, or re-orientation — or simply sensing that familiar leadership narratives no longer quite fit the reality you’re facing.
What this work involves
These talks and facilitated sessions are designed to open leadership conversations rather than close them down. They are often used to frame offsites or strategy discussions, support moments of transition, and introduce shared language for leadership, culture, and responsibility.
Formats range from keynote talks to smaller, facilitated sessions, shaped to the context, audience, and moment. The emphasis stays on clarity rather than performance, and on offering language and perspective that people can continue to work with once the session ends.
The work creates space to think together in environments where action usually outpaces reflection.
The impact
People leave with a sharper lens and more precise language for what they are experiencing. Conversations tend to continue beyond the session, often with greater honesty and less defensiveness.
In organisational settings, this shows up as higher-quality dialogue, more thoughtful decision-making, and a greater willingness to stay with complexity rather than defaulting to familiar scripts or surface agreement.

"A massive thank you for your keynote session this morning. I got so much out of it, and it was so nice to see the group really engaging and commenting all throughout your session. They clearly loved it too and gave them a lot of food for thought. Our exec doesn’t normally stay for the whole event, but she said as soon as you started talking, she stopped doing emails as was so engaged by you.”
