The workshop creates the momentum. This keeps it going.
Regular check-ins, facilitated by me, that keep your leadership team close to the commitments you made in the room. Built for the months after the workshop, when any team, however good the day, feels the pull of everyday demands. I stay involved because I care how the work lands, and because a facilitator’s value carries well beyond the day itself.
A leadership team leaves a strategy day energised. The commitments are named, the owners agreed, the deadlines set. Weeks later, the calendars have filled with the usual urgencies and the commitments have slid down the list.
The cause is structural, and willpower has little to do with it. The clarity the day created is real. Holding onto it over the months ahead takes a rhythm that no single day can build.
Stay Accountable is how I help you keep it. A regular rhythm of sessions with the same facilitator who ran your workshop, holding the team to the work it set, and surfacing obstacles early enough to solve them.
Every Stay Accountable session is built around three ingredients that turn intention into results.
The shift from vague intentions to specific, time-bound agreements. The difference between "I'll try to get to it" and "I'll have it to you by Thursday at five." Most accountability failures start here, in the gap between what was meant and what was said.
Brief, regular, forward-looking conversations that surface problems while there is still time to solve them. The question shifts from "did you do it?" to "are you on track, and what do you need?" The rhythm moves conversations earlier, so you are ahead of issues.
The team-level agreement that raising a problem early is valued and protected. Most people delay flagging an issue because they fear judgement or think they should fix it themselves. This removes both reasons, so problems surface while they are still small.
A structured review of where each commitment stands. Honest, no performance. The first signal of whether the work is holding.
The team works on whichever commitments are at risk. Not status reports. Real problem-solving, with a facilitator to keep it productive.
The strategic question, leadership tension, or cultural pattern that has surfaced since the last check-in.
Named owners, real deadlines, and a clear note of what will be reviewed when we meet next.
The person who ran your workshop runs your sessions. No handoff, no rebuild of context. I know the commitments because I was there when you made them.
What is said in the room stays in the room. No reports to senior leadership, no external write-ups, unless the team explicitly asks for one.
Annual contracts renew on a 60-day notice. If the engagement stops being useful, you have a clean way out. Most teams renew.
Yes. Stay Accountable is built on the commitments and shared language that come out of an initial workshop or offsite. Without that grounding, the sessions don't have the raw material to work with.
Stay Accountable keeps the commitments from one workshop alive, in short 90-minute check-ins. Quarterly Cadence is the full rhythm of strategy and team offsites across the year. Many teams start here and grow into that. See Quarterly Cadence →
That's usually a sign it's time for a refresh rather than a check-in programme. We can scope a half-day reset workshop first, then move into a Stay Accountable cadence from there. Get in touch and we'll work out the right approach for you.
The format works best for a stable group of six to twelve people, usually the same leadership team that did the original workshop. Smaller groups work, but you lose some of the peer-accountability dynamic that makes the format effective.
Coaching is one-to-one and focused on individual development. Stay Accountable is team-level and focused on the commitments the team made together. The two work well alongside each other.
Yes. The team rhythm flexes one step either way: monthly by default, quarterly once things are stable, fortnightly if you hit a stretch of real pressure. We have a regular review point where we look at whether it still fits.
Default is confidential. If a senior stakeholder commissioned the sessions, we agree the reporting expectations upfront, usually a short note covering themes rather than specifics.
We will look at where your team is now, what was committed to in the original workshop, and the right rhythm to keep it alive.
