Who it is for

Capable people who sense there is more.

Few people begin with a clear account of what needs to change. More often there is a sense of difficulty in particular situations: delegating, giving feedback, a difficult conversation, managing upward. Others want to find their blind spots and have no reliable way to do it.

Either is a sound starting point.

How it works

The EdgeEQ methodology, applied to your situation.

The programme begins with your context: your role, the people around you and the moments that matter. The Rider and the Elephant gives you a simple way to see what is happening. The four stages of the methodology then move you from seeing it, to understanding it, to changing it.

Everything is applied to real situations rather than theory. By the end, the methodology is yours to use without support.

What changes

In yourself, with your team, and upward.

In yourselfMore conscious choices in the moments that matter, and less energy spent on the same difficulties.

With your teamReading people more accurately, delegating with confidence, and problems raised earlier.

UpwardMore influence with the people you report to, and clearer conversations when it counts.

What is involved

Twenty hours, over six to twelve months.

All sessions are one to one with James, by video. The pace follows your work rather than a fixed calendar.

Opening sessionsA clear picture of how you respond in the situations that matter, and what it costs. Much of it will be new.

Regular sessionsSixty minutes, weekly or fortnightly, working from live material: a conversation ahead, a decision taken, a reaction that was not intended.

Between sessionsMost of the change happens here, as you notice responses in real situations and bring them back.

Ongoing reviewRegular time to check the work is relevant to your role, and to name the value it is providing.

How it begins

With a conversation about your situation.

Everything discussed is confidential, including from your organisation where it is funding the programme. Fees and terms are set out in the programme overview, available on request.

Trust developed extremely quickly. James was patient, challenging and supportive as we worked through numerous work and life scenarios. What sets James apart is his ability to ask questions that get to the heart of the situation quickly, whilst allowing you to get to a solution in your own time.
