Case Studies

I worked closely with Checkatrade's Head of Product and Head of Content to design a tailored one-day Workshop Wizardry session, which included specific design thinking activities that could be integrated into their own workshops.

The session received glowing feedback, the team went away with loads of ideas, and have since been working on their own Checkatrade workshop guide.

I worked closely with the team at Lionweld Kennedy, the UK’s leading supplier of Steel and GRP, to develop their company values. I did this through the design and delivery of a one-day co-creation workshop with team members representing different parts of the business. We worked together to understand what was unique, what made people proud, and what inspired the team, before drafting the values together, then seeing how they might put them into practice to achieve their vision, mission and strategy.

I worked closely with the CEO to design the strategic away day for the Trustees and Team, many of whom had never met in person. We created a full day’s worth of workshop activities, all with the goal of enabling the team to put the strategy into action and focus on the areas that would really make a difference. The day culminated in an exciting creative session on fundraising that generated some brilliant ideas to take forward. The Chair of Trustees said that as well as the day being fun and productive, my facilitation skills were the best they’d seen in 7 years.

I’ve been working with BCI for a few years, regularly delivering tailored training workshops for members, designing Board away days and facilitating round tables for their internship programme that supports young people from under-represented backgrounds to find a career in the creative industries.

I’ve been working with the fabulous team at If Not Now for a few years, providing business mentoring support across different areas of their business. It’s good for them to have someone external they can talk to, get perspective, and champion their brilliant business and the causes they support.

I worked closely with William George to understand the current state of their business and future aspirations, before co-creating their vision, mission and values, then defining a programme of activity with the team, which included business development, personal development and training, a brand evolution and regular check-ins.

I worked with Wonderland Comms for a few years, starting off with the design and facilitation of their annual strategy planning workshop, then evolving into ongoing mentoring which included supporting them in their people development strategy, team training and individual team coaching. A phenomenal business with huge energy and creative talent.

Another brilliant creative business, I’ve worked with Taxi on a few engagements including designing a tailored DE&I programme for them, and a series of workshops to help them explore how to push creative boundaries remotely during COVID. As a business they are always looking for new ways to create and innovate, and invest in their people.

I’ve worked with the SMT at Spike Island, an international art centre, firstly doing C-me profiling, before running a workshop to explore their styles, behaviours and communication preferences. I then worked with individuals on career plans and provided ongoing coaching support. I’ve also run a creative problem-solving workshop with them to identify opportunities for their business.

I worked closely with Bristol Hospitality Network, a charity that supports destitute asylum seekers and refugees, to design and facilitate a team strategy away day and develop a Theory of Change paper. As part of the scope, I also facilitated a team workshop and designed a survey to get feedback from different groups, all of which fed into the day.

During the day, we agreed the future direction for the charity, key focus areas, activities and actions, which have evolved into a plan.

I worked closely with the Head of People to design and facilitate a Presentation Skills workshop that was tailored to their business and team.

The team was highly engaged throughout the day, and as well as taking away many learnings as individually, they went away with loads of ideas to improve the quality of their presentations across the business.
