How it works
A workshop built around your real needs - delivered live.
Each session is tailored to your portfolio, your materials, and your internal process—so the learning lands immediately in day-to-day approvals.
Pre-work: we tailor the session to your needs
Before the workshop, we agree your objectives and review a small set of examples (e.g., claims, slides, meeting plans, digital copy). This lets us pinpoint your recurring risk patterns and focus the workshop on what will actually matters to you. • Select 3–6 real examples (sanitised if needed) • Agree “rules of thumb” your team will use • Build a session plan around your highest-risk activities
Live workshop + practical decision toolkit
The workshop mixes teaching, live critique, and scenario drills. We pressure-test wording, substantiation, balance, and meeting governance—then convert it into a repeatable toolkit your team can use immediately.
