Doing difficult things together
I like working with people on their difficult challenges: where we need to take new risks to make breakthroughs.
I believe we all have it in us.

Sharing Vulnerability
Helping teams succeed is not about playing the role of expert explaining everything. Instead, it’s important to join people in taking the little risks that make real teamwork possible. Figuring things out together is a more powerful way of teambuilding than fighting each other for attention.
Not Playing Too Safe
It’s easy to play safe in working relationships, rather than take the risk of creative friction. We need curiosity and some kindly mischief to make new things happen.
Doing difficult things
To avoid going round in circles, we need to work hard at having the conversations we’re tempted to avoid. And to find ways of having them that are more satisfying and creative.
I’ve been doing this for quite a long time with all sorts of people.
I’ve worked across UK. Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia and North America
About me….
My first job was as a speechwriter to Lord Sainsbury, after which I worked in advertising for 15 years. Since then, I’ve worked as a facilitator, based in the UK but often working internationally.
I’m a co-founder of Creative Facilitation. I’m a visiting tutor on the Oxford Strategic Leadership Programme at the Saïd Business School. I’m an occasional contributor to Fast Company magazine.
