Experiential Learning

Every day we deal with the unexpected and uncertain – and we have to listen, adapt and respond.

These skills sit at the heart of leadership, communication and teamwork, yet we rarely take the time to develop them.

Drawing on my background in facilitation and stage improvisation, I run experiential workshops and programmes that bring these skills to life.

I’ve brought this approach to clients like AstraZeneca, Shell, Barclays, and the NHS. If you’d like to chat about doing something together  just get in touch.

"The team couldn't speak highly enough of the time they spent with you."

“A big thank you for the training yesterday – the team returned here energised, enthused, and couldn’t speak highly enough of the time they spent with you.”

Building stronger relationships

I run experiential learning for leadership, creativity, communication and teamwork.

Explore some of my popular programmes below, or download the full guide.

Personal Impact

Leadership requires grounded presence and the ability to respond flexibly in moments of uncertainty.

This workshop uses embodied exercises to help you maintain presence, flexibility, and focus so your influence feels natural and intentional – rather than forced.

  • Recognise behaviours that strengthen connection

  • Use embodied presence to stay grounded under pressure

  • Develop flexibility for greater influence & impact

Teamwork & Collaboration

Collaboration breaks down in small moments – listening drops, ideas get blocked and people don’t feel seen.

This workshop or programme gives your team an experience of collaboration at its best – building on your strengths to develop a culture of trust, accountability, and sustained performance.

  • Develop a shared language for effective collaboration

  • Build psychological safety with everyday behaviours

  • Improve adaptability and decision-making

Story for leaders

Sometimes a good idea fails to land because it’s presented as data – rather than a story.

Stories are the conduit of human connection, and this workshop shares simple tools for turning ideas and facts into stories people care about.

  • Use personal experience for stories that connect

  • Craft stories that are memorable and relatable

  • Deliver stories in a natural, authentic way

Some clients I have worked with...

Over the years I’ve got around. Here are some clients I have worked with.

Creativity & Innovation

You can’t look backwards to solve a problem you’ve never faced before – you need fresh thinking.

Using workplace situations, participants learn the common blocks to creativity, and apply breakthrough thinking to spark insights and generate new solutions.

  • Build motivating environments that support creativity

  • Generate new solutions using effective techniques

  • Counter inertia by taking risks that drive progress

Performing with Presence

When presenting it’s tempting to over-perform or retreat into slides – only to find that your message isn’t landing.

Working with body, breath, voice and simple story structures, you’ll learn to connect with audiences in a way that feels natural and engaging.

  • Use grounded energy in real speaking situations

  • Present with clarity without over or under-performing

  • Adapt under pressure – staying connected to others

Explore what makes your team click and build on your strengths – with plenty of laughter, play and discovery along the way. 

  • Build a healthy culture rooted in collaboration 

  • Work together better stress less and smile more 🙂

  • Learn improv techniques used globally with top teams

Leading with Facilitation

Many leaders can facilitate a process, but few know how to harness collective intelligence.

This two-day programme supports leaders who want to facilitate meetings as intelligent networks – to unlock greater agency, adaptability, accountability and alignment.

  • Shift from centralised control to relational networks

  • Learn processes that work at speed and scale

  • Guide groups towards clarity and action

I co-authored a paper on facilitation. Read it here.

Learning by doing. No boring waffle or slides.

Discover the potential in yourself and others.

Experiential learning

Relational skills & behaviours can only be learned through direct personal experience –  so that’s what we’ll do.

We’ll push back the tables to connect, play, experiment, share, laugh and learn.
