When it helps
Sounds familiar?
- Your workshops end with a photo of a whiteboard and no decision.
- Business, IT and leadership need to agree on priorities, and meetings keep going in circles.
- A kick-off or a retrospective needs energy, and a space where people feel safe to speak.
- You want a talk or a hands-on session for a conference, a team day or an internal event.
What I do
What I take on
Workshop design
From the goal to the agenda, the exercises and a written outcome people can act on.

Story mapping
A shared view of the user journey, cut into releases the team can deliver.
Visual thinking
Sketchnotes and visual summaries that people keep and reuse.
Code katas
Deliberate practice for developers, in pairs or in groups.
Talks
On architecture, agility, AI and learning through play, in English or French.
