I suspect the answer is YES PLEASE to at least one of those!
Then check out the services we offer to you and your organisation.
By Releasing Agility and improving your management approach you’ll get employee engagement for free.
When I personally started improving my management abilities and releasing agility in an organisation I saw:
People didn’t leave very often – when they did – they often came back!
As a blended rate of recruiters, self sourced and referrals.
Measured via a Pulse engagement survey.
The elapsed time from first application to a decision (post interview) for candidates.
Every week, every year – economies of flow – not highs and then lows.
People who didn’t get hired would go and tell others how great the company was.
We can help you and your organisation achieve this – and all without a single Agile Framework or Engagement “Initiative” – just amazing communication and superb management.
Below are the many services we offer clients.

The job of a manager, leader or employee is to achieve business results.
This is done by being Effective. Yet we’ve all met those people who are effective, but people dislike them. They leave a wake of human disaster behind them. People don’t want to work with them.
Equally, there are plenty of people in our organisations who are super nice. So nice. Like Teddy Bears. But people wonder what they actually do – and why they still have a job.
As a manager your job is to tread the fine line between being Effective AND Liked. Sometimes you have to be liked but less effective. Other times you must be effective at the risk of being disliked.
This is done through effective communication skills.
Yet many of us are never taught the basics of communication, nor do we often have much awareness of our communication behaviours and style. We are all different, but we can all be better.
In this workshop we start by introducing some science of communication, we move on to understanding our DISC profiles and then we cover the essential non-verbal superpowers.
After learning through interaction we then pull it all together in scenario based situations such as meetings, presentations, networking, one to ones, feedback sessions and more.
I’ll give you tools, techniques and home work to do. You’ll then need to go forth and practice it.
You’ll learn how to understand other people, control your own communication and then alter your behaviour when needed.
The communication workshop is a half or full day workshop. It is based around several modules that can be “plugged” in depending on the problems the workshop is solving.
The sessions include:
– The basics of communication
– The DISC profile and uncovering our own preferences
– Why communication is important
– Effective non-verbal communication
– How to write like a pro
– Effective presenting
– Networking, coaching, feedback
– And more

Becoming an effective manager is not easy. It’s rare to ever get training or a decent explanation of what it takes to become a manager.
This workshop is designed for new managers, or those who feel their managerial performance could do with some improvement.
There are many lessons spread across the full day workshop. Each lesson is presented in a seminar style by myself, before delegates go through a series of short activities to complete the associated activity booklet. Once complete each person has a personal guidebook to use over the coming months to develop their abilities as a manager.
It’s impossible to teach good management in a month, let alone a day, but the inspiration and clarity that your managers and leaders will have from this workshop alone, will be enough to see them engaged in cultivating their careers.
Price : £3000 for the day (includes return visit) – travel expenses on top.
Limit : 30 People
Zero to Keynote is all about developing your ability to present, whether this is to a room of people at work, or hundreds of people in an auditorium.
The science is the same.
This presentation training is not about “going big and going home”, “walk here – walk there – open arms”, yada yada yada.
This workshop is about getting results that are relevant to you and your communication style. It’s why we start with your DISC profile – so you know how you naturally communicate.
We then build on what you need.
Everyone has the ability to deliver a presentation that knocks people’s socks off. Everyone.
There are 12 deliciously simple principles – and we’ll work through them all – with plenty of opportunity for people to fine tune their presenting style.
Strictly limited to 10 people as this workshop is intensive. But the results are staggering.
Price : £4000
Limit : 10 People
To be successful you need the right people in the right place, at the right time.
We all get to decide what our hiring and on-boarding experience should be from the candidate or new starters perspective.
Do we want it to be WTF, MEH or WOW?
Sadly, most companies leave hiring and recruiting to HR when it should belong with the manager needing the new hire.
And many companies leave it to chance and put little effort in to making it WOW.
The reality is, a well designed and effective hiring and on-boarding process helps make the candidate experience a WOW experience, builds trust, drives high levels of engagement and makes people productive and effective quickly.
Based around my book “Join Our Company” this is available as a Consultancy service.
I don’t talk very often about “Agile” or “agile” – I prefer to talk about “Releasing Agility”.
Releasing Agility can happen in any team and in any industry.
Agility – “the power of moving quickly and easily towards your goal or purpose”
Release – “to free from confinement”
In other words – I help you move more quickly and easily towards your business goals, by removing the friction that stands between where you are NOW and where you WANT TO BE.
Of course, this means you need to know where you’re going – if you don’t – I can help you with that too.
Releasing Agility follows a simple process of identifying your True North, removing blockers on the way to it, surrounding yourself with talented people, putting in place solid management and learning how to get better. Easy then? 🙂

The culture of your organisation is nothing more than group habit.
It’s the sum of the behaviours of every person in your organisation or team. These can accumulate to be a winning culture of productivity, respect and team spirit. They can also be spiralling your culture in the wrong direction.
If you want to change the culture of your organisation you change the behaviours.
This must start with knowledge of the behaviours you need to achieve business success and the company goals. This is hard, but behaviours, thankfully, can be written down, communicated, explained and observed.
Once you’ve identified the behaviours you need study your people to see whether or not they exhibit these behaviours. Adapt the matrix as you go where needed.
You can reverse engineer by studying behaviours and understanding your culture, or you can outline the culture and behaviours and see who is exhibiting them. We’ll work with you to propose the appropriate way to do this.
We have preprepared behaviours for agility and high performing teams – or we’ll work with you define your own.
