Facilitation
We move in the direction of our conversations. Let’s make them count.
Some conversations help us to learn, grow, connect and navigate change – while others feel like a slog and nothing really changes.
It doesn’t have to be that way. I’ve hosted hundreds of conversations for clients like Adnams, AstraZeneca, NHS, Imperial College and Mind where people think differently and work better together.
If you’d like to talk about an event or workshop, get in touch.

Creative intelligence
"The best facilitator I have ever worked with."
“Alex is stand out, the best facilitator I have ever worked with and this is the whole reason that I bring him to every organisation I work in. I thoroughly recommend his services”
Ginny Idehen
CEO, Mind (Mid and North East Essex)
Making spaces for collective intelligence
I find that when you make space for people to show up as humans — messy, outspoken, kind, silly, creative, resilient — they do. And with that comes huge potential for meaning and change.
I like processes and activities that encourage connection and a deeper level of involvement – because they let the collective intelligence of the group emerge. It’s a kind of trust that people just need the right conditions to thrive.
I find that awakening our playful spirit is vital in creative group work.
When we’re committed to being right and defend our positions, nothing much changes. But when we are open to curiosity and play – we can experiment, learn, create, adapt and move in the direction that we want.
