Do you offer ongoing coaching or longer programmes?

For teams who want more than a one-off session, options include 1:1 coaching, repeat sessions and broader programmes shaped around ongoing communication and performance goals. Best discussed on a discovery call.

How much does this cost?

Guide pricing starts from £1,800 for a half-day workshop and typically £3,500 to £3,800 for a full day. Away-day experiences in the comedy series start from £4,250. More tailored builds, travel outside London and additional coaching may affect the final fee. A discovery call is the best place to discuss what the right format would cost for your specific team.

Do you only work with agencies?

No. Agencies are a natural fit because the work often involves ideas, presentations, clients, pressure and communication that has to land well. But the workshops also work well for broader business teams, commercial teams, strategy teams, marketing teams, client-facing functions and people-focused teams. If your team needs sharper communication, stronger thinking, more confidence under pressure or better human connection, the work is likely relevant.

Can the workshops be tailored to our team?

Yes. Some teams need a strong, focused version of a workshop exactly as it stands. Others need more tailoring around their role, clients, culture or current challenges. That might mean adjusting examples, emphasis, exercises or format. It can also mean blending elements across different workshops where that makes sense. The discovery call is where we work out what level of tailoring is useful.

Do you offer half-day and full-day versions?

Yes. Most workshops are delivered as either a half-day or full-day session. Half-day sessions are focused, practical and built around one clear challenge. Full-day sessions allow more depth, more discussion, more rehearsal and more opportunity to apply the learning properly. There are also options for extended programmes, follow-ups, 1:1 coaching and more bespoke builds where useful.

Is this about turning people into comedians?

No. The work draws on stand-up, storytelling, live audience psychology, journalism and broadcasting, but the goal is not to make people perform like comedians. The goal is to help teams communicate more clearly, think more sharply, handle pressure better and connect more effectively. The lessons transfer. The job stays professional.

What kinds of teams do these workshops work best for?

They work especially well for teams where ideas, relationships or performance depend on how well people communicate. That includes client-facing teams, strategy teams, creative teams, commercial teams, leadership groups, People and L&D functions, and teams who want to strengthen culture as well as capability.

What happens after the discovery call?

You'll get a clear recommendation on the workshop, format and level of tailoring that makes the most sense for your team. Sometimes that means one focused session. Sometimes it means a deeper full-day version. Sometimes it means a broader programme or a more distinctive away-day experience. The aim is to make the next step clear, useful and proportionate.

How do booking and payment work?

Our standard terms are 50 percent on booking and the balance within 14 days of delivery. For larger organisations with established payment processes, we are happy to discuss terms that work for both sides, just raise it on the discovery call.

How far do you travel?

I can travel anywhere. For sessions outside London, travel costs, time and any required accommodation are factored into the quote and clearly outlined in advance. Everything is agreed upfront, so there are no surprises.

Which workshop is right for my team?

That depends on the challenges you wish to address. If the focus is confidence, presence and communication in the room, Confident Client Engagement is usually the best fit. If the issue starts earlier and the team needs stronger thinking and better material, Developing Stronger Ideas is more appropriate. If people are dealing with pressure, rejection or repeated difficult conversations, Bomb Proof: Sales Resilience Under Pressure is the place to start. If the goal is warmer communication, better team culture and stronger human connection, The Levity Works is likely the best match. If you are still not sure, the discovery call is exactly the right place to work it out.
