Frameworks for workshops, live experiences and workplace visibility
I create practical frameworks that help facilitators, leaders and experts design engaging workshops, run standout live experiences and build strong workplace visibility. These models sit at the core of my keynotes, advisory work and programs, and are used by teams across corporate, education and professional services.
My work focuses on three areas: workshops and live experiences, influence and visibility at work, and creating opportunities through reputation. This library is where I share the frameworks that turn those ideas into practical action.
New frameworks are added regularly.
