Have conversations that create movement
Helping managers, leaders and organisations have better conversations when performance slips, change is difficult or people get stuck.
That means addressing what needs to change without allowing the problem to become everything we see about the person, and recognising more of the capability, motivation, effort and experience we can build on to help them move forward.
Because the more we can see, the more we have to work with.
UPCOMING OPEN WORKSHOP
SEE MORE IN YOUR PEOPLE - Create the conditions for people to be at their best!
A practical workshop for people who manage, lead or develop others, helping you have better conversations when performance slips, change is difficult or someone becomes hard to manage.
WHAT WILL YOU LEAVE WITH?
During the morning, you'll explore practical ways to:
See beyond the immediate problem: notice when a performance issue, behaviour or difficult situation is starting to shape everything you see about someone.
Find more to work with: recognise strengths, motivation, effort, experience and existing capability that could help someone move forward.
Have a better conversation about what needs to change: use practical questions and approaches that create greater involvement and ownership rather than leaving the manager to provide all the answers.
You'll leave with practical tools and questions you can use in one-to-ones, performance conversations, change and everyday management situations.
And it doesn't start and end in the room.
Before the workshop, we'll have a short 15-minute conversation about the situations you're encountering and what you'd most like help with. I'll use these conversations to shape the activities and examples around the people taking part.
You'll also have a 30-minute follow-up with me 2–4 weeks afterwards to explore what you've tried, what's been useful and anything you'd like help working through.
Both are included in your ticket price.
Date: 23rd October 2026 I Cost: £50 I Venue: Cobalt Business Park, North Tyneside.
WORKING WITH YOU AND YOUR ORGANISATION
Help your managers have better conversations when something needs to change.
Managers are expected to handle an enormous range of people situations: performance that has slipped, resistance to change, difficult relationships, lack of ownership, uncertainty, development and conversations they'd sometimes rather not have.
Often, knowing what needs to change isn't the hardest part.
The harder part is the conversation that helps someone move forward.
I design practical workshops, training and coaching that help managers look beyond the immediate problem, understand more of what's happening and have conversations that draw on more of the capability, motivation and ideas of the person in front of them.
THE MINISTRY OF NOT YET
One of the distinctive tools I use in my work is The Ministry of Not Yet, a practical and memorable way to explore some of the protective responses that can show up when people feel uncertain, stuck or resistant to change.
It helps managers notice more, assume less and get curious about what's happening before deciding how to respond.
BESPOKE WORK
Sometimes you don't need an off-the-shelf workshop. You need support built around what's actually happening.
Whether a change is stalling, managers are struggling to create ownership, a new way of working isn't landing or conversations are being avoided, that's where we start.
I'll work with you to understand what's happening and design something practical around what your people actually need, whether that's a focused workshop, a facilitated session or a short development programme.
We start with a 30-minute conversation about what's happening and what you'd like to be different. If I think I can help, I'll explain what that could look like. If I don't think I'm the right fit, I'll tell you.
Poppy attended a two day Solution-Focused coaching training program and reflected on how practical the skills were for the conversations she was having.
"I put this approach into practice right away... [conversations] feel lighter, more focused, and more importantly they feel genuine, fluent and really powerful.'"
— Poppy, PCN Support
WORKING WITH YOU
Coaching gives you space to slow the situation down, understand what's keeping you stuck and work out what moving forward looks like for you.
You might be:
- avoiding a conversation you know you need to have;
- struggling with a decision;
- feeling stuck in preparation rather than action;
- second-guessing yourself;
- finding it difficult to let go or delegate;
- dealing with a relationship or situation you can't quite find a way through.
I'll listen, ask questions, challenge when it's useful and help you see things you may be too close to see yourself.
YOU'RE LIKELY TO LEAVE WITH:
Greater clarity about what's actually going on.
More confidence in the conversation, decision or action ahead.
A practical next step that feels manageable and genuinely yours.
COACHING OPTIONS
One-off session — £95
Useful when there's a particular situation, conversation or decision you want to work through.
Three-session block — £260
For something you'd like more space to explore, act on and revisit.

Neville had known for years that he wanted to move his business abroad, but one decision kept sitting there unresolved. Every time he got close to moving it forward, something pulled him back. He knew what information he needed but felt like he'd be asking too much, like he was being pushy. In one session we slowed down enough to see what was actually happening underneath. He left having drafted the message he needed to send, the one that would help him finally decide whether this was the right move. The next day he sent it.
"You helped me choose just one thing without feeling like I'm disappearing or I don't matter. I feel a lot less heavy. A lot more focused"
Neville, Founder
Sadiah came to me mid-rebrand with a team pulling in different directions. Everyone had ideas, some wanted to keep things as they were, and opening the floor to the group wasn't getting anyone anywhere. What felt difficult was being directive, taking the lead rather than asking the team to generate ideas first. In the session she realised that presenting her own clear ideas to the team for their input, rather than starting with a blank page brainstorm, was both the more effective approach and the one she actually had the confidence to lead.
"I have actionable steps. You encouraged me to narrow it down to just one thing, and that one thing feels pivotal for everything else."
Sadiah, Founder
