Workshops and Team Development

Team Workshops - Facilitated workshops to align and empower your team

Designed for teams of 6-8 members, these half-day or full-day workshops aim to foster alignment and growth.

Topics covered:

▶️ Unique value proposition development/refinement
▶️ Technology roadmap planning
▶️ Market and customer identification
▶️ Competitive analysis
▶️ Business model canvas construction
▶️ OKRs, North Stars, and goal setting
▶️ Fundraising strategies

While I prefer in-person workshops, remote options are available. I'm also happy to travel interstate for full-day workshops (international travel by negotiation).

“James facilitated a strategy workshop for our founding team, and it was a resounding success! We all left with a much better understanding of our unique value proposition and the next 12 months of our startup journey. James was extremely clear as he led us through multiple small-group exercises, and as someone who has been in the trenches, it was refreshing to hear his take on some of the standard advice founders often hear. I think any founder would be lucky to have him in their network!”
