"Probably the most value I've ever got from a training course."
Your Organisation is Unique - But Your Problems Might Not Be!
-
Too many meetings, not enough progress
-
Deadlines are missed and problems discovered too late
-
Teams are working flat out but that doesn't mean they're delivering value or achieving their goals
-
Priorities change regularly so nothing gets finished
-
Leadership are supporting change but it doesn't stick
-
You've got smart people but you're not getting results
You Don't Need More Agile Theory, You Need Real-World Support
Most teams don't need more Agile theory, they need help making it work.
I've supported teams across start-ups, banks, fintech and government. Different roles, different goals - but often the same blockers.
What they need is practical support grounded in real understanding. So people, product and delivery come together in a way that works in the real world.
That's what I do. I lay the foundations with professional training, practical workshops and hands-on support when it's needed.
Because understanding Agile is just the start. Delivering value early and often is the goal.

-
What if our teams aren't "technical" teams?No problem. I’ve worked with HR, marketing, recruitment, engineering and operations teams too - Agile ways of working can benefit any teams that are trying to deliver more value, achieve goals and respond to changing requirements and uncertainty.
-
How much does it cost?It depends on the format and scope of work but maybe less than you think! And I'll always offer clear, up-front pricing and try my best to recommend what's right for your needs.
-
What if we're not sure where to start?Start with a conversation. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just clarity on whether I can help.
-
What makes your approach different?I combine technical credibility, professional certified training and practical hands-on support if and when you want it. Plus I'm still enthusiastic about helping teams understand that they can find better ways of working!
-
We're completely new to this Agile and Scrum thing. Can you still help?Absolutely! I'm more than happy to talk to organisations thinking about taking their first steps towards being more Agile. Even if our original conversation doesn't lead to anything I'm always happy to talk about Agile, Scrum and better ways of working.
-
Can you offer part-time support or deliver training remotely?I'll always say that training deliver face-to-face / in-person has more chance of changing hearts and minds because it offers the trainer more opportunities to read the room and make real connections with students. Having said that, I've had real success with "Live Virtual" training delivered via Zoom and sometimes with some distributed teams that's just the best and only option. And if you're interested in part-time support after any trainng I always try to make myself available!
-
We've already had Agile training. Do we really need more?I can't answer this question without talking to you and understanding what you're trying to achieve, your perceived problems and what training you've previously invested in. But I can state that organisations that invest in training their employees and ensuring everyone has the same understanding are much more likely to succeed changing how they work.
