SERVICES / TRAINING
Not another training course.
A working session that challenges your thinking, builds your skills and ends with a plan.
Then a follow-up to make sure you actually use it.
RESULT DRIVEN TRAINING
Practical learning.
Real results.
Most training gets forgotten by Friday. A slide deck, a few notes, good intentions. Then back to doing things the same way.
These workshops are different. Every session is practical, hands-on and built around your business specifically. You will be challenged, you will produce real work during the session and you will leave knowing exactly what to do next.
The follow-up Zoom a fortnight later is not an add-on. It is where the accountability happens.
HOW IT WORKS
Properly prepared.
Properly practical.
Every workshop starts with a discovery conversation.
Before anything is planned or prepared, I need to understand your business, your team and what you actually need to get out of the session. From there I research your business, prepare the materials and build the session around you. When we sit down together, we get straight into the work that matters.
The session is two hours of focused, practical thinking on your business specifically. Not theory for its own sake. Not a room full of slides. You and your team leave having done real work, with a clear plan and the skills to carry it through.
Two weeks later we have a one-hour Zoom follow-up. We review what you have done with what you learned, answer questions and make sure things are actually moving.
Twenty years of teaching designers and business owners has shown me that the more practical and specific the session, the more it sticks. Everything here is built around that.
- 2-hour in-person workshop plus 1-hour follow-up Zoom included.
- Delivered at a venue of your choosing.
- 1:1 or teams of up to five.
- Travel costs may apply depending on location.
Working remotely or struggling to get the team together? These sessions can be delivered online but it works best when we have had a conversation first to make sure it is the right fit. Get in touch and we can work out what makes sense.
WORKSHOP ONE
£550
LinkedIn for Business
Show up properly. Build the right connections. Say something worth reading.
Who it's for
You and your team know LinkedIn matters. Profiles are out of date, posts go out occasionally and nobody is quite sure what to say or why. You want a clear picture of what good looks like and the confidence to get there.
Before the session
I audit your existing LinkedIn presence, review your profiles and research your market and competitors. So when we sit down together, the session is built around what you specifically need to change.
In the session we will cover
- How to optimise your profile so the right people find you and take you seriously.
- What to post, how often and why, based on your audience and your goals.
- How to build your network with purpose rather than just connecting with anyone.
- Content ideas specific to your business and your expertise.
- How to engage in a way that builds credibility without taking all day.
Practical element
Everyone leaves with their profile improved, at least one post drafted and a personal action plan written during the session.
Follow Up
One-hour Zoom within two weeks to review progress, answer questions and keep things moving.

WORKSHOP two
£550
Content Strategy and Planning
Know what to say, where to say it and how to make it work properly.
Who it's for
You are producing content, or you know you should be, but there is no real plan behind it. It feels random and harder than it should. You want a proper strategy that makes sense for your business, your audience and the time you actually have.
Before the session
I ask you to share your existing positioning, brand documents, website and a brief on your ideal clients and competitors. I review everything before we meet so the session goes straight to what matters for you.
In the session we will cover
- Who your audience actually is and what they need to hear from you.
- What your content pillars are and how to build everything around them.
- Which channels make sense for your business and which to stop spending time on.
- How to plan content in a way that is realistic and sustainable.
- How to repurpose what you already have so nothing goes to waste.
Practical element
By the end of the session you will have a working content plan mapped out and a clear picture of what to create first.
Follow Up
A written content strategy document delivered within five working days. Then a one-hour Zoom within two weeks to review progress and answer questions.

WORKSHOP THREE
£550
Design and Visual Marketing
Understand the design and marketing fundamentals. Apply them confidently. Make everything you produce look right.
Who it's for
You or your team are creating marketing materials and something is not quite landing. Things look inconsistent. The brand is not coming through. You want to understand why and learn how to fix it, properly.
Before the session
I review your existing brand materials, guidelines if you have them and examples of what you are currently producing. The session is built around what will make the biggest practical difference for your team.
In the session we will cover
- The fundamental principles of good design and why they matter.
- How to apply your brand consistently across everything you produce.
- Colour, typography and layout — the rules that make things look professional.
- How design and words work together to communicate the right thing.
- How to use brand guidelines properly so every output feels joined up.
Practical element
Everyone brings their laptop. In the second half of the session we focus on one specific output together, agreed in advance. That might be social media templates, a postcard or leaflet, or business cards. You leave with something finished and the skills to produce more.
Follow Up
One-hour Zoom within two weeks to review what you have produced and answer questions.

Straight answers
No small print.
Can I book more than one workshop?
Yes. Some businesses work through all three over a few months. Others start with one and see how it goes. We can talk through what makes sense for your team on the call.
What if I want some different training?
Then let’s have a chat about what you need and then we can work out what the session will cover and go from there – book in a call with me and we can got form there.
How many people can attend?
Each workshop works for 1:1 or a team of up to five. Beyond that the practical element loses its impact, so that is where I draw the line.
Do we need to provide a venue?
The session is delivered at a venue of your choosing. Your office, a hired meeting room or somewhere else that works. Travel costs may apply depending on your location.
Can the workshops be delivered online?
They can, but it works best when we have had a conversation first to make sure it is a good fit for your team and the content. Get in touch and we will work it out together.
Is the follow-up Zoom included in the price?
Yes. The one-hour follow-up Zoom is included in the £550. It is part of the session, not an extra. It’s important for me for you and your team to have some accountability, it makes it more effective.
What if we are not sure which workshop we need?
Book a free call. We will talk through where your team is right now and which session will make the most difference. No pressure, no obligation.
Let's have a proper chat
Not sure which workshop fits or want some other training? That is what the call is for.
Free. 30 minutes. No pitch. We work out what your team actually needs and whether one of these sessions is the right starting point, or you need something else for you or your team to work on.
