In this episode, I sit down with Alison Coward, founder of Bracket, to talk about how to transform offsites and workshops from mere team-building events into crucial strategic tools that drive real results. Many leaders may see offsites as an expensive exercise with little return, but Alison shares how a well-structured workshop can turn that perception upside down.
We explore the common mistakes leaders make with workshops, like trying to achieve too much in too little time, and how to avoid the trap of unproductive sessions. Alison talks through her process for designing workshops that deliver – from setting the right objectives to ensuring follow-up leads to actual business change.
Curious to learn more about how you can turn your next offsite into a growth-driving, culture-shaping moment? Tune in to find out.

How do you build trust with a C-suite leader who resists change?
Here’s the truth: you can’t coach someone who doesn’t want to change.
And that’s where trust begins (or breaks).
It reminds me of a joke: How many coaches does it take to change a light bulb?
Only one.
But the light bulb has to want to change.
So, here’s the challenge: are you coaching the behavior,
or are you coaching the belief behind it?
