On a mission to create better problem solvers.

I help smart, passionate people solve tricky problems, together.

 

If you're tired of consultants who charge the earth to state the obvious, you're in the right place. I help teams get unstuck. Whether you’re creating something new or improving what you’ve got, I ask the right questions, create the right conditions, and make sure all those good ideas you have actually see the light of day. 

Who I am

A connector of people and ideas. Usually found outdoors.

I’ve spent 14 years facilitating conversations with a stubborn focus on turning ideas into action. Collaboration is at the heart of everything I do - hence the the ‘Co’ with Cosh. I believe our thinking is elevated when its challenged and built upon by others. I work with a fantastic network of smart thinkers and do-ers who do that for me every day.

What I offer

I partner with you to make a tangible impact, quickly. I work flexibly - as a retained team extension or brought in for specific projects. Either way, I’m rolling up my sleeves with you from day 1.

Shaping Sensible Strategies

I work with teams to create a clear + powerful direction that can actually be delivered, and we start cracking on with it straight away.

Delivering Impactful Work

I love getting my hands on a stuttering project that’s lost its mojo. I whip teams into action, so we can start delivering results in days, not months, and have some fun along the way.

Establishing Thriving Teams

From suits to sneakers, I work with teams of all shapes and sizes to get things humming with the right priorities, ways of working, and habits.
