Work With Us

Applying ideas in practice — selectively and with care.

Cultivated exists to build a modern library for better work.

Alongside our publishing and education, we occasionally partner with organisations who want to apply these ideas in practice.

This is the Cultivated Studio — the applied arm of our work.

Our Philosophy

Most organisations do not struggle because they lack ideas.

They struggle because something is lost between idea and value:

Clarity fades.
Communication frays.
Momentum slows.
Learning stalls.

When this happens, effort turns into friction — and value never quite arrives.

Our work focuses on restoring clarity where work is stuck, so people can make better decisions, align around what matters, and move forward with confidence.

We do not offer generic consultancy.

We work selectively, in moments where clearer thinking can unlock meaningful progress.

How We Work with Organisations

Our work is designed to be practical, focused, and human — grounded in real work, not abstract theory.

We partner through three core forms of engagement.

Leadership Advisory

For senior leaders carrying real responsibility who need clarity, not theory.

This is a thinking-focused advisory partnership grounded in live work: the decisions you are wrestling with, the conversations you are avoiding, and the priorities that feel overloaded.

The outcome is not “better leadership behaviours.”

It is clearer thinking, calmer decisions, and less friction.

Leaders typically gain:

• clarity in complex situations
• stronger decision-making
• communication that creates alignment
• reduced firefighting and noise
• smoother movement from idea to value

Formats include focused clarity resets and ongoing advisory partnerships.

Best fit when leaders need perspective, confidence, and momentum.

Team Workshops, Talks & Learning Sessions

For teams who need shared clarity and renewed momentum — quickly.

These sessions create common language, shared understanding, and practical next steps. They are designed to be used immediately, not filed away.

Typical outcomes include:

• clearer priorities
• stronger communication
• better problem-solving
• renewed momentum

Popular sessions explore themes such as:

• Idea to Value Workshop
  (Seeing where work really gets stuck)
• Communication Superpower Workshop
  (Develop better communication skills and shared understanding)
• Creativity of Constraints
  (Join Sunday Times Best Selling Author, Helen Callaghan, to learn how constraints and limits aid creativity and problem solving)
• Storytelling Masterclass
  (Join Sunday Times Best Selling Author, Helen Callaghan, to learn how to craft stories that move people)
• Culture Change Through Behaviours
  (Design and embed cultures and behaviours to help you go from idea to value and enrich the workplace)
• The Vending Machine Workshop
  (A practical hand-on problem-solving workshop for teams)
• Releasing Business Agility
  (A hands-on seminar for learning how to see your system of work, and release business agility)
• Zero to Keynote Workshop
  (Train your team how to demonstrate thought leadership from the stage)
• Inspiring Keynotes and Talks
  (Talks on leadership, idea to value and developing positive work cultures)

Delivered as half-day, full-day, or multi-session formats. Prices start from £3000.

Idea → Value Diagnostic

For organisations that feel stuck and need fast orientation.

This is a short, focused engagement designed to answer one question:

What is really getting in the way here?

Over a short period, we:

• examine how ideas currently move through your organisation
• identify where clarity and alignment break down
• surface what matters most right now

You leave with:

• a clear picture of where work is slowing or stalling
• practical recommendations
• sensible next steps — without committing to a large programme

Best fit when clarity is needed before deciding what to do next.

Our Networked Model

Cultivated works as a studio, not a solo practice.

Alongside our core team, we partner with a trusted network of educators, creatives, and facilitators — allowing us to bring the right expertise to each engagement while maintaining a consistent philosophy and standard of work.

This model allows Cultivated to scale thoughtfully, without losing its human approach.

Prefer to learn independently?

Many people start by exploring the ideas through our books, courses, and writing.

The Cultivated Library and School exist to share the thinking openly — whether or not we ever work together directly.

A Simple Next Step

Not sure where to begin? That is normal.

We start with a short, low-pressure conversation to understand what is useful — and whether we are the right fit.

If not, we will point you toward something that is.

Cultivated exists to build a modern library for better work — and to apply those ideas, carefully and selectively, in practice.
