How are things going in your team?
Team dynamics are rarely static, and there's always something going on that distracts from what really matters. Rather than asking everyone to work harder, the key is to discover how to work smarter - together.
Maybe things feel a bit… off. People are polite, but not honest. Meetings are flat. Energy’s low.
Or maybe the team’s just changed - new faces, new leader, new goals - and you need to get everyone on the same page.
Or maybe you’re doing fine. But deep down, you know the team could be doing better.
Either way, you need a Team Tune Up: a one-day, fully facilitated workshop that helps teams:
Every session has a purpose. No filler. No trust falls. Just a practical, well-paced day that gets teams talking, thinking, and moving forward.
Run it once a year, or whenever the team needs a reset. It’s the single most useful thing I’ve done with over 100 teams.

The informality of our workshops enables participants to relax, express themselves freely and find common ground with others. This lends itself perfectly to ideation and team-building by encouraging positive interactions and idea sharing.
We're glad you asked! Simply put, a Talkshop is a cross between a talk and a workshop. They're short, punchy, thought-provoking sessions. We take a key concept and explain it clearly, then help your team explore it together to understand how it can help them in their work.
I’ve run this workshop for over 100 teams. I know what gets people opening up, how to surface the elephants in the room without things getting personal or messy. And I know how to keep things grounded and practical so you don’t just talk, you act.
This isn’t off-the-shelf team bonding. It’s a sharp, structured reset that gets to the heart of how the team is functioning and what needs to shift.
I’ve run the Team Tune Up for finance firms, creative agencies, civil servants, manufacturers, charities, engineers, marketers, and more.
If it’s a team of humans trying to work together, this works.
It’s not a jolly. It’s work. Focused, structured and productive. You’ll leave with more clarity, stronger relationships, and practical actions the team owns.
Yes, people usually enjoy it, but that’s not the goal. The goal is better performance.
You could. But it’s hard to have open, honest conversations when someone in the team is also trying to facilitate.
People hold back. Issues stay hidden. Having me in the room means everyone can fully participate, and I’ll make sure the tricky stuff gets talked about constructively.
Even high-performing teams benefit from pausing to reflect and reset. If things are going well, this workshop helps you protect and build on that. If there are blind spots, we’ll uncover them before they cause problems.
It is work. But that doesn’t mean it’s dry or heavy. There’s usually loads of laughter, light moments, and genuine connection. Fun that comes from real conversation, not games or gimmicks. People leave feeling energised, not just entertained.
If the team’s under pressure, that’s exactly when you need this. A day to reset and refocus saves weeks of wasted effort, misunderstandings, and avoidable tension. You’ll come back sharper, clearer, and more aligned.
No, it works for any team that’s trying to collaborate, deliver, and improve. I’ve run it for exec teams, project teams, departments, and new teams just starting out. If the team works together regularly, it’s a good fit.
Strategy sets direction. Team dynamics determine whether you actually get there. This workshop is about how you work together: trust, communication, accountability, energy. It complements strategy, it doesn’t repeat it.
Not if you want it to work properly. Cutting it short means cutting out what makes it effective. If you’re serious about the team, give it the time.
The short answer: no. The workshop’s been refined over dozens of sessions to create flow, build trust and deliver outcomes. If there’s something specific going on with your team, I’ll adapt what we discuss, but not the structure.
No. You book the venue, I bring the workshop. I can give you pointers if you need help finding a good spot. Just make sure it’s a space where people can think clearly, talk openly and move around a bit.
No, but it will surface (most of) them, name them, and help you start dealing with them. Think of it as a reset button: it gives you fresh momentum, stronger relationships, and a clear path forward. Ongoing work might be needed, but this gets the ball rolling.
