Workshops and Leadership Advisory

The organisations that get communications right are the ones where leadership understands it as a strategic function rather than a support service. That understanding does not come from a single session or an off-the-shelf training programme. It develops through sustained engagement, honest challenge and a clear connection between communications thinking and the decisions that actually drive outcomes.

We work with leadership teams and communications directors to build that capability in a practical and lasting way. That means helping organisations ask the right questions before decisions are made, not just explaining them better afterwards. It means ensuring that stakeholder thinking is embedded in how leadership operates, not brought in when things have already gone wrong.

Our workshops are built around the specific challenges each organisation is facing. They are not generic and they are not theoretical. They draw on more than 20 years of experience advising boards and senior leadership teams across UEFA, ECB, Birmingham 2022, Tottenham Hotspur and major international sport, and they are designed to change how leadership thinks about communications, not just how the communications team operates.

Areas we cover include strategic communications planning, stakeholder mapping and engagement, crisis preparedness and issues management, narrative development and leadership communications, and the integration of communications into governance and decision-making structures.

Ongoing mentoring is available for communications directors and senior leaders who want sustained external challenge and support alongside their day-to-day work.

Who this is for

Leadership teams that want to raise their communications ambition. Communications directors who want senior external challenge and perspective. Organisations building communications capability at a time of growth, change or increased scrutiny.
