What kind of companies do you generally work with?

I work with organisations facing challenges with leading and building multidisciplinary teams. This is tough work and our work together will focus on understanding your challenges first and how we can create a plan for success.

What if I don’t have a multidisciplinary team or am just starting to think about building one?

You’re at an exciting point in your multidisciplinary journey! I can help you craft a strategic plan for your multidisciplinary approach and help you put things in place to build momentum.

What’s the lead time to work with you?

I’m generally booked a few months in advance but am always open to people getting in touch. If you don’t ask, you never know!

Can I pay you for an hour of your time?

Unfortunately, no. The work we do together is not based on time and often takes a lot longer than one hour. I prefer to focus on the challenge you’re looking to overcome as the driver for how we might work together.

What is your speaking fee? Can I get you as a guest on my podcast?

The audiences that love me the most are legal professionals, marketing executives, tech executives, innovators, and researchers. My fee varies depending on the event, audience, and commitment. Get in touch with me and we can speak further.
