My Services: Strategy
Where will you take your business, and is your strategy clear, compelling and convincing?
Strategy
tailored training programmeS
These programmes will help participants to look beyond the day-to-day demands of their roles, to think about the wider success of the organisation, and add real value to strategic discussions. We'll also move beyond traditional financial measures, and look at a dashboard of measures to help drive strategy across the organisation.

If you want to use the opportunity to create a strategy for your own organisation, then it's worth bringing together people from various functions. The team could then work together to:

You might alternatively consider a war-game. The purpose is to study and outsmart a dangerous competitor.
By the end of the war-game, the participants will be able to:
Organisational Purpose
workshops
The aim of this programme is to renew or relaunch an organisation's culture by getting behind a new sense of purpose. Organisations often seek a new vision and values. But typically a well-meaning list of nouns or adjectives ('authenticity', 'quality') doesn't excite the wider audience. Nor does it lead to value creation. Instead, I work with my clients to make real impact with a unifying purpose.
By the end of the first stage, participants will have:
My Services: Finance
Are you creating value for the long-term at the same time as pursuing your strategy?

training programmes
These programmes help non-finance managers to read financial statements, understand the story that they tell, and use them to steer the business.
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
Transforming Management Reporting
TAILORED workshopS
Bad management reports leave their audiences baffled. A good management report can help them to make much better decisions. In these workshops, I'll help your accounts team to transform their existing routine reports and make them actionable.

Are your people inspired by a shared sense of purpose?
Accelerated Leadership
tailored training programmeS with optional coaching

Services for Professional Services Firms
Attract the best work
The Professional Advisor
tailored workshops and coaching
(Especially for new partners and senior professionals)
Many professionals resent having to sell themselves. They would prefer that clients came knocking, rather than having to chase prospects for work. The purpose of this service is to help professionals attract more of the work they enjoy, from clients they like, by becoming fully-trusted advisors in the eyes of clients.
By the end of the workshop and/or coaching, the participants will be able to:
• Enhance their reputation and their personal brand
• Build their network
• Speak confidently to prospects
• Articulate their value proposition
• Pitch for new business
• Lead and train their team
The Confident Professional
tailored workshop
(Especially for mid-level professionals)
This workshop helps professionals to handle challenging inter-personal situations - which become more common as they become more senior.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
• Take control of challenging conversations and meetings
• Be aware of how they come across to others, and flex their style according to circumstances
• Build their network inside and outside the firm
• Build their reputation by considering their personal brand
The New Professional
tailored workshop
(Especially for junior professionals)
This workshop helps young professionals to make the transition from school and university to life in a professional firm. Often they miss the structure and guidance which was inherent in their educational life. They tend to cope by diving into tasks rather than stepping back and learning to manage their new reality. I train junior associates to move beyond just ‘fitting in’ and explore how they can stand out.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
• Prioritise their workload
• Find a productive way to work with their internal clients
• Distinguish between working hard and delivering good outcomes
• Work as part of a team
• And, if they are managing others, delegate and give feedback
