Define Your Strategy

    You Know Strategy Matters.

    But do you actually know how to do it?

    If you run a business, you already have a strategy—whether you realise it or not.

    Maybe you built your company on instinct and hard work, and it’s grown because you’ve made good decisions along the way. But now, you’re at a crossroads. You need to scale, evolve, or adapt—but you’re not sure exactly how.

    • Where should you focus next?
    • How do you make the right decisions?
    • How do you get your leadership team aligned on a clear direction—without endless debates or going in circles?

    You don’t need another strategy book. You don’t need a 300-slide corporate strategy deck. You just need a clear, structured way to think about strategy—and to get your team thinking the same way.

    That’s exactly what this course is for.

    Introducing: Define Your Strategy

    A self-paced, practical course that walks you through the exact process to clarify your company’s direction and make the right strategic choices—without the fluff, jargon, or corporate nonsense.

    This isn’t a theoretical MBA course. It’s a structured, step-by-step approach that you can use to define your company’s strategy and lead your team through the process.

    • Practical, actionable, and straight to the point.
    • Designed for SME leaders—not corporate strategists.
    • Flexible—you can complete it at your own pace or run it as a team strategy process.

    By the end of this course, you’ll have:
    ✔️ A clear, structured strategy that makes sense for your business.
    ✔️ Strategic priorities that align your team and drive focus.
    ✔️ A decision-making framework so you stop relying purely on instinct.
    ✔️ A process to engage your leadership team and get buy-in.
    ✔️ A concrete action plan for executing your strategy.

    Who This Is For

    SME CEOs & Founders who want to get clear on their company’s strategy and ensure their leadership team is aligned.

    Senior Leaders & Directors who are responsible for shaping their company’s direction but need a structured way to do it.

    Internal Team Leaders & Facilitators who want to run better strategy discussions and decision-making processes.

    Consultants & Coaches who help companies with strategy and want a clear framework to guide their clients.

    How It Works

    The course follows a structured journey—not just a random collection of strategy tips. You’ll go through a step-by-step process, designed to help you think clearly, make informed decisions, and lead your team through strategic discussions.

    Each stage of the course mirrors the Hero’s Journey—because strategy isn’t just a spreadsheet. It’s a process of discovery, decision-making, and execution.

    How This Course is Different

    There are plenty of strategy books and courses out there. But most of them are:
    Too corporate – Built for massive companies, not SMEs who need a lean, practical approach.
    A rigid structure that doesn't work for your company and its unique attributes.
    Too generic – They throw a bunch of frameworks at you and leave you to figure out how to apply them.

    After years of working with leaders and teams, I understand what SMEs actually need:
    A clear, practical process - This isn't just a pile of theory, it's a hands-on approach with real outcomes.
    A guide to making real decisions - You'll be guided through steps relevant to your business.
    Include your team - learn how to lead your team through strategic discussions.

    Key Features

    A summary of what's included

    Action Plan

    It's crucial to achieve a tangible outcome from this process, and you'll work with your team to create a practical action plan to implement the end result. The plan includes tasks, timescales, roles and responsibilities - specific outcomes that will impact your business.

    PDF Guides

    A series of PDF implementation guides provide comprehensive step-by-step instructions. Everything is clearly presented and explained, so you can run the process yourself with confidence.

    Real Examples

    All my sessions and toolkits come with a variety of real-life examples from businesses of different sizes, from different industries. I analyse and explain how a selection of companies have carried out this work in the past and outline the resulting impact.

    Practical Tools

    The toolkit includes easy-to-use tools to guide you and your team. These step-by-step frameworks take participants through a range of processes to help surface ideas, identify patterns, make connections and draw conclusions. Each comes with clear, concise instructions.

    What people are saying

    As a business, we wanted to come together to define our values - not what we did, but how we wanted to do it. From the minute I spoke to James, he came across as an expert who was incredibly knowledgeable and wanted to understand our business and objectives so he could get the very best out of us. We agreed a plan, and James clearly talked through how the workshop would be delivered. The workshop was run exceptionally well and James tailored his approach to ensure everyone was heard.

    Kath Pallas

    Smartkem
    The workshop offered a chance for the team to think in different ways using different tools, some of which they have already put to use in other meetings. It freed me as manager to be more involved, and the team to be more confident about speaking up.

    Jane Stewart

    England Athletics
    James facilitated an excellent workshop for my Management Team. With three new members we wanted to make sure we were all aligned behind a clear purpose and to bring each member’s individual’s strengths to the forefront to help us perform at our best. Everyone came away feeling positive and we had a clear set of actions to take forward together.

    James delivered a great session, he was so patient with the team as they explored their challenges and what bonds them. There has been an immediate shift in team dynamic and cohesiveness as a result of the workshop. James guided us, but did so lightly and ensured we had enough time to discuss the areas that were most important to us.
