A one-day intensive, built around your real material
Who it's for?
Senior leadership teams of 6–12 people at organisations where how leaders communicate, internally and externally, genuinely matters to the outcome.
What happens?
Diagnosis of the team’s current communication, live workshopping of a real upcoming town hall, announcement, or strategy pitch, and on-the-spot delivery practice. Leaders leave with a communication they’ve rebuilt, not a set of principles.
Helping senior leadership teams cut through corporate speak and communicate what they really mean. Shaped by 20 years of professional experience in diagnosing, editing, writing and delivering communication.

Writers' retreats
Immersive writing retreats in stunning locations, combining creative experiences and expert mentorship from an Olivier Award-winning playwright, with every detail taken care of.
Umbria, Italy
Villa Mura Writers' Retreat
A week at a private hillside villa. Mornings of craft-focused workshops, afternoons free to write, evenings around one long table. Ten guests, one house.
Goa, India
Goa Writers' Retreat
A week on India’s west coast at the tail of the dry season — warm, quiet, and unhurried. The same craft-first structure, at the coast instead of the hillside.
