Crafted Leader is a coaching experience that blends reflective leadership coaching with hands-on woodworking. It’s designed to help experienced professionals and leaders rediscover clarity, confidence, and purpose.

No, this is a coaching experience, not a woodworking course. While you’ll work with hand tools to craft a Joiner’s Mallet or Milking Stool, the focus is on reflection, personal growth, and uncovering insights. If you’re looking for a woodworking-focused experience, there are far more capable professionals to guide you in that area.

Using hand tools slows the process and fosters mindfulness, allowing you to focus on the task at hand while exploring challenges and discovering new perspectives. It’s less about the woodworking itself and more about what the process reveals about you.

You’ll leave with:

• Fresh perspectives on your challenges.

• A crafted object symbolising your journey.

• Practical steps to realign your career and life with your values.

Crafted Leader is ideal for experienced professionals and leaders who:

• Feel stuck, disconnected, or out of alignment in their careers.

• Are looking for clarity, confidence, and direction in their next steps.

• Value a reflective and hands-on approach to personal growth.

Not at all. These sessions are designed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of your experience with woodworking. The focus is on reflection and coaching, with guidance provided for the woodworking elements.

The Lite 1-Day Workshop is a focused experience designed to provide you with headspace and deep reflection in a single day. You’ll work on a creative project, engage in coaching, and leave with fresh insights and an action plan. It’s ideal if you’re looking for a quick yet meaningful reset.

The Signature 2-Day Workshop takes the experience to the next level, offering more time and space to dive deeply into your challenges and goals. Spread across two days, this immersive journey includes reflective lunchtime walks, extended coaching sessions, and a more complex creative project. It’s perfect if you’re ready for deeper exploration and lasting transformation.

Both workshops provide hands-on woodworking, reflective coaching, and practical tools to help you move forward with clarity and purpose—the difference lies in the depth and pace of the journey.

In the Signature 2-Day Workshop, “built from scratch” means you’ll be involved in every step of the woodworking process, including:

• Preparing the Tools: Sharpening and setting up tools for precision work.

• Preparing the Materials: Measuring, cutting, jointing, and planing wood to create your chosen project.

This hands-on process allows for greater engagement, reflection, and connection to the craft, with guided coaching throughout.

What’s included in the session?

Both sessions include:

• All tools and materials.

• Complimentary refreshments (tea, coffee, water).

• A Reflection Pad, Pencil, and Workbook.

• Two 30-minute post-session coaching calls (1 week and 1 month after).

Currently, sessions are only offered in-person at my Bournemouth workshop. Remote coaching options may be available in the future—feel free to inquire.
