Consulting

I help draw out what people have worth saying and help them find the clearest expression of their ideas.

Drawing on my experience as a writer, interviewer, presenter and creator, I work with all kinds of people and organisations to shape their thinking and turn it into books, talks, documentaries, interviews, newsletters, podcasts and other work that genuinely connects with people.

I’ve done the job from both sides. I know what it’s like to be on stage, on camera, behind the microphone and looking at a blank page. The way I work is similar to how my newsletter The Outlier arrives each week:

I notice widely.

I connect the seemingly far away

I communicate the findings however suits

Recent work has included:

Advising a solo practitioner and creator on content strategy and how to build a more coherent public presence
Co-creating workshops for elite athletes operating in high-performance organisations
Helping a founder refine his public positioning during the sale of his business
Working with a senior sports executive on internal and external messaging
Reviewing and strengthening an author’s book proposal and pitch

The common thread is usually the same: helping someone get clearer on what they want to say, who they’re saying it to and what form it should take.

If you have something worth saying but haven’t quite found the shape for it, let’s talk.
