How we work

First, we listen to you. In our initial conversations with clients we encourage them to tell us about the goals of their organisation, the obstacles to achieving them, and about the culture: what’s strong, what needs work, and especially what challenges it faces.

With you, we then distil an objective for our work, which might be to improve how leaders communicate convincingly, to build trust within a team, to explore an urgent challenge or examine the purpose at the heart of the organisation. Sometimes the need is simply to make people more confident writers and thinkers.

We then design a workshop or series of workshops to address the need. The writing workshop does much more than teach people how to write. It creates the space and time for teams to focus on whatever merits close attention, and for each participant to contribute something particular to the shared process and the outcome. Above all, it allows the group to activate the imagination - to engage the deep stores of creativity and mutual endeavour that lie at the heart of why we work.

We don’t come with answers; the answers are in you and your colleagues, and the workshop is a powerful technique for bringing them out.
