Exercise

In the SESSION

Time well spent, from start to finish.

I've been delivering open workshops for years. They're different beasts to in-person sessions, and I use a considered mix of technology and facilitation techniques to make them effective and engaging experiences. Here's what you can expect when you attend this one.

Is it right for you?

An honest read on fit.

A good fit if
  • You want a practical, working session rather than a lecture
  • You are happy to take part in discussion and activities
  • You can join as an individual or send two or three people
  • You want ideas and tools you can take back to your team
Probably not for you if
  • You are looking for a lecture rather than a working session
  • You want a fully bespoke programme for an intact team, where the team workshop is the better fit
  • You are not ready to act on what you take away
James understood the needs of our teams and used his toolkit to deliver a short workshop on how to unite under a common purpose, share best practice and ideas, and support each other's strengths and weaknesses. The session delivered the outputs we required and more. I would recommend his services to others.

Common questions.

How do I book a place?

Choose a date on this page, set the number of seats you need, and check out. You will get instant confirmation by email.

Is it online or in person?

Both. Each date runs either in central London or online over Zoom. The format is shown next to each date.

Can I book for more than one person?

Yes. Set the quantity at checkout for the seats you need. Team rates apply for three or more.

What will I walk away with?

A clear, practical grasp of the topic, a few tools you can use straight away, and a digital toolkit to take back to your team.

What if I cannot make the date?

Get in touch and we will move you to another date where we can. If you need a session for your own team, we also run these privately.

Need a hand?

Talk to James first.

If you are not sure whether this is right for your team, a short call is the fastest way to find out. No pressure, no pitch.
