Do Less, Deliver More. If your inbox feels like the Central line at 8.30am, this one’s for you. Everyone we interview tells us they’re being asked to do more with less. Leading to exhaustion, burnout and frustration: and the data shows it. This talk reframes the challenge because success comes…
Do Less, Deliver More. If your inbox feels like the Central line at 8.30am, this one’s for you. Everyone we interview tells us they’re being asked to do more with less. Leading to exhaustion, burnout and frustration: and the data shows it. This talk reframes the challenge because success comes not from piling it on, but from making different choices.
Ditching the “do more with less” sermon and instead getting practical about what to stop, start and simplify.
Christine shares nine research-backed steps teams can use immediately to win back time, sharpen focus and deliver without Sunday-night dread. Expect fewer zombie meetings, clearer priorities and the joy of crossing off the right things.
Clarity. Control. Results.

The Good Job Code
Work People Love. No one sets out to create bad jobs, yet here we are staring at clunky processes, random rotas and great talent leaking out of the sides. And the bigger the organisation, the higher the risk. We look at the global evidence for what makes jobs “good” or…
Work People Love. No one sets out to create bad jobs, yet here we are staring at clunky processes, random rotas and great talent leaking out of the sides.
And the bigger the organisation, the higher the risk.
We look at the global evidence for what makes jobs “good” or even “great” and translate it into practical achievable insights for managers and leaders. Resulting in higher retention, better customer service and profitability.
Research-based. Interactive. Motivating.

Manual Override 2030
Leading Humans in an AI World. AI is reshaping work, but no one knows how or what will happen this week let alone in 2030. But leaders still need to lead and teams need clarity and confidence now. This new, deeply practical talk is rooted in everything I already focus…
Leading Humans in an AI World. AI is reshaping work, but no one knows how or what will happen this week let alone in 2030.
But leaders still need to lead and teams need clarity and confidence now.
This new, deeply practical talk is rooted in everything I already focus on: overwhelm, managing tech, connecting with people, intergenerational change and, crucially, creating the space to think deeply. If you’ve been following the vlog this summer, you’ll know we’ve been circling these themes — and this talk brings them together ensuring your people can flourish with the benefit of the technology. Not the other way around.
This session shares five models to help you scan the horizon, make human-centred calls and keep confidence high while the tech evolves. It is ‘compass, not crystal ball’: principles, analysis, experiments and skills to create a team that’s more in charge of the tech than tangled up in it.
Leadership. Human-centred. Practical.

Productivity is nose-diving while burnout is rocketing. Business leaders contend with uncertainty and overwhelm while their teams struggle with disconnect, disruption and disharmony. How do we find our way through these challenges that blind us from emerging trends, cloud our decision-making, and extinguish our inner flame? Christine carries the torch…
Productivity is nose-diving while burnout is rocketing. Business leaders contend with uncertainty and overwhelm while their teams struggle with disconnect, disruption and disharmony. How do we find our way through these challenges that blind us from emerging trends, cloud our decision-making, and extinguish our inner flame?
Christine carries the torch to help your teams find the light. In her new series of interactive, one-off talks, she explores the latest research on managing energy for ourselves and others, overcoming conflict, vanquishing micro-stressors, and how finding ‘glimmers’ – tiny reminders of joy, peace and happiness and kindling for their phoenix – can help team members restore their energy and super-charge their productivity. -
How do we increase productivity? New ways to think about productivity
“Some team members are thriving, but others aren’t delivering. Can you help?”
We focus on identifying what’s working and provide practical steps for managers to unlock greater potential at team level.
Impact: Renewed sense of purpose and direction. Leaders gain actionable insights for boosting team-wide productivity and morale. -
Why is Gen-Z so tricky to manage? Understanding and leading your youngest employees
Despite what many leaders feel (frustrated!) this isn’t about tackling laziness. It’s about understanding how this group has been raised, educated and their views on work. Once understood, motivating them becomes much easier.
Impact: New language and techniques for managing Gen Z, transforming potential friction into value.
