Score 1 to 5
Decisive prioritisation
- 1
- Everything is a priority. We’d each name a different top three.
- 3
- We mostly agree, but new requests still knock us off course.
- 5
- We know our top three, and we’ve agreed what stops to make room.
Workshops
Workshops that get work moving.
Start with a 90-minute session on one piece of stalled work, or hire me to design and run something bigger.
The unjam workshop
One stalled piece of work. Ninety minutes. One change already under way.
Bring a real piece of work that’s important and stuck. We’ll see together why it’s stuck, make the trade-off you’ve been putting off, and leave with a plan that fits the time your people actually have.

The three pillars
The scorecards we use in the room
Everyone scores the same piece of work, privately, on three things. The gaps between people’s scores are often the most useful part of the session.
Score 1 to 5
Realistic planning
- 1
- Dates are set by hope or pressure. We find out late.
- 3
- Plans are sensible, but they assume time people don’t have.
- 5
- Plans fit our real capacity, and we see slippage early.
Score 1 to 5
Absolute ownership
- 1
- It’s not clear who decides. The same few people rescue things.
- 3
- Owners are named, but decisions still drift upwards.
- 5
- Every piece of work has one clear owner who can decide.

Bespoke sessions
Something bigger in mind?
I’ll be honest, I hate boring meetings. The ones where everyone nods, nothing gets decided, and the actions disappear by Thursday. So I design sessions that are the opposite: planning days, away days and big group games where people actually talk, decide things and leave with a plan they still remember the following Monday.
Recent sessions for technology scale-ups, national charities, housing associations and service brands.
Leadership teams
All the good bits of an away day (the honest conversations, the big decisions) without the trust falls. The kind people actually look forward to, and that’s still paying off three months later.
Strategy and planning days
Big thinking, followed by actual decisions. Over one day or several, I help your exec team turn the vision into a short list of priorities and a plan people can start on Monday.
Ways of working launches
Launching new ways of working with the people who’ll use them, so the change lands in the day job, not just on a slide.
Big group games
Forget the awkward icebreaker. I run big, properly fun games, like Traitors-style mysteries and squad challenges, that get people who never usually talk working together, fast.

Inside the room
Jen has a rare ability to completely transform the energy in a room. I watched her take a reserved, sceptical audience and have them fully engaged and collaborating within two minutes.
