A 50-minute working session, just you and me.
Mentor, coach and advisor rolled into one. Bring the goal, the plan, the problem or the decision you are stuck on. I help you think it through, offer a fresh perspective, and act as a sounding board on the next steps. No slides, no pitch, no follow-up unless you want one.
Leaders with a real question, not a fixed brief.
Most people who book this are somewhere in the middle of a decision. A CEO shaping the AI narrative for the board. A CHRO figuring out the workforce plan. A COO working out where to invest. A founder wondering if their strategy actually holds up. If you want a knowledgeable, low-ego thinking partner for an hour, this is that.
- 50 minutes, video call, or in person if you are London-based.
- A short brief from you beforehand so we skip the throat-clearing.
- Written follow-up notes if you want them: the decisions, the next steps, the questions still open.
- No obligation. If it turns out I am not the right person, I will tell you and point you at who is.
Four questions I get asked most.
If your question does not fit neatly into one, book anyway. Most sessions cross two.
AI strategy & prioritisation
"Where should I invest next, and how do I move my team from experimenting with AI to actually changing how we do business?"
- Pressure-test a shortlist of AI use cases
- Design the sequencing so early wins fund the rest
- Get past isolated pilots and embed AI in how the team actually works
Board & exec prep
"How do I frame this for the board, and how do I answer the questions I know are coming?"
- Sharpen the narrative and anticipate the hard questions
- Get a second read on the risk framing
- Rehearse the objection-handling out loud
Governance & risk
"How do I let people use AI without creating risks I can't defend if something goes wrong?"
- Article 4 in plain English and what to do about it
- The three or four policies that actually change behaviour
- Shadow AI: how to surface it without turning your best people into adversaries
Personal AI fluency
"How do I become genuinely fluent with AI myself, so I'm able to ask my teams the right questions and identify opportunities for us to explore?"
- The two or three habits that separate confident users from dabblers
- Where AI genuinely earns its keep in an exec's own week
- What to try, what to trust, and what to leave alone
Book, brief, meet, act.
- Book. Pick a 50-minute slot in my calendar. No sales call first.
- Brief. A short note from you: the question you want to talk through, the constraints, the audience for whatever comes out of it.
- Meet. We use the time. I bring the questions and the pattern-matching from twenty years of doing this in enterprises where the stakes are high.
- Act. You leave with clarity you can act on. If you want written notes, I will send them. If you want a follow-up, we book one. If not, we do not.
Recurring, retainer, or a workshop for the team.
If a single session unlocks something and you want a regular sounding board, I take a small number of monthly retainer clients. If the answer turns out to be team-shaped, the workshops page is where that lives.
