The method
Find it.
Say it.
Move it.
Four steps, one order, and something real inside.

We talk
Twenty minutes. Video, phone, a walk, a coffee shop. No fee, no deck, nothing to prepare.
I’ll go first. I’ll tell you where I’ve been stuck, and most people’s guard comes down somewhere in there.
We find what it actually is
Is it you, the team, the process, or a combination nobody has separated out yet.
Impartial, and from the outside, which is the only way anyone sees it clearly.
A plan, agreed first
A plan built round what we discussed. Steps, outcome, duration, cost. Sent over, tweaked, signed off.
I don’t spring proposals on people.
Then we move
Logged, tracked, shared. No secrets. No surprises. Real movement.
The work ends on a difference, not on a document.
The one thing I keep from you
You get what I’m finding.
Not who said it.
If I work with your team, everything I find is shared with you. Who said it stays entirely anonymous. They need the same safety you do, and if they don’t have it none of this works.

The awkward bits
Money, and the questions people feel rude asking.
Ask them anyway. I’d rather you knew now than wondered for a fortnight.
What does it cost?
How many options do I get?
How involved are you?
What if the project needs to change?
How long does it take?
Do you work with my team?
And if I’m not the right person, I’ll tell you on the first call.
Still weighing up who to hire?
Be honest with yourself
This is not for everyone.
Business or team · pre-start-up to £100m · any industry. Other than that, it’s about how you want to work.
- If you want a document to put in a drawer, we will both be disappointed.
- If you want someone to blame for a decision you have already made, I am the wrong hire.
- If you want to be agreed with, I will be annoying within a fortnight.
- If nobody in the business is allowed to say “this isn’t working”, start there first.
