Doodling some fun monsters…
Doodling some fun monsters…
Actually I’ve been doing masses of doodles for my courses, my books, my talks and my #crossfit community! 😆
Anyway I am working on a couple of book collabs with two very fabulous individuals and also working on the third one in my 101 series on top of completing the second part of my Consulting leadership course and the AI masterclass.
😵💫 It has been busy!
Which means I haven’t had much headspace to do as many of my usual doodles I used to.
Anyway this one was in my drafts and I shall bring these lol monsters to life in a story or a multi panel comic at some point… When I get a breather 😅
What other monsters do you think I should add to these trio?
Threeo?
Treeo?
3 monsters? 😬
Ever sent an email at 11pm
Ever sent an email at 11pm and regretted it by 9am? 😬
In a world where one poorly worded message can unravel client trust you’ve spent months building… can you really afford to “just wing it”?
Join me for an engaging 30-minute masterclass where I’ll reveal the actual frameworks top consultants use to:
🍩Decode when to Slack vs when to call (hint: your instincts are probably wrong)
🍩Craft messages that get immediate responses
🍩Manage client expectations without saying “no”
🍩Navigate difficult conversations that would make others cringe
📅 Friday 21 March 2025
⏰ 4.30pm UK Time
🔗 Register: See comments below (turn on “Most Recent”) where you’ll get your zoom link 15 minutes before the session!
INTERACTIVE LIVE SESSION: Bring your trickiest communication scenarios!
We’ll use live polling to tackle real challenges and you’ll walk away with actionable templates you can implement immediately.
I designed it for you, new consultant drowning in digital miscommunication (you know who you are!) or experienced professionals looking to sharpen their virtual presence.
It’s a zoom session because it’s very interactive and I find LinkedIn Live and YouTube live has a lag factor which makes quizzes really annoying 😕
Anyway I hope you will join me tomorrow! 🥰

Will I learn about how to use AI
“Will I learn about how to use AI to gather requirements, draw process maps, write solution documents and user stories and requirement matrix and all those consulting deliverables at your Consulting Discovery Masterclass?”
YES. YES YOU WILL. 😍
It took me awhile, but I wanted to make sure that I incorporate ‘old school’ ways of business analysis, rooted in active listening, critical thinking, asking good questions and visual thinking when illustrating business processes so that we can truly understand the client’s needs (through verbal and non-verbal signals). 🕺🏻
The AI component comes after that – so that we know when it produces mediocre outcome, makes assumptions or incorporate bias, or worst still – hallucinates. 🙅🏻♀️
I want to make sure that we use AI to elevate our thinking skills, to really deliver value to the client.
And having worked with CTAs on a few enterprise discovery workshops recently, I think I’ve managed to figure things out, and am pretty excited to share. 🥰
There’s only two masterclass courses scheduled for this year, and spaces are limited as it’s full of practical role play and skills practice, and I provide individual feedback on all pieces of work – around managing conflict when running workshop, to the many simulation scenarios to gather requirements, illustrate process maps and document user stories.
Here’s how to get a piece of the action:
🍩You can sign up for my newsletter for a promo code (hurry as my next edition goes out by midnight UK time tonight (link below 👇🏻
🍩You can sign up for a competition to win one of the two spots on the course (see link below)
🍩You can pay now and lock in your spot straightaway because ITS LIMITED SPACES AND YOU DONT WANT TO MISS OUT AND ALSO BECAUSE THE AMAZING PRICE WILL GO UP NEXT YEAR AND YOU WANT TO BECOME AN AWESOME CONSULTANT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! 😁
🚨Make sure you select “Most Recent” comments as LinkedIn collapses any comments with URL in it 😒 <– see my not impressed face.
I’m just working on so many exciting things I don’t get a chance to talk about it much, also because I attend so many events my brain is just quite full a lot of the time.
ANYWAY I hope you’ll check it out!
I’m pretty excited about it!! 😍
There’s the right way. ✅
There’s the right way. ✅
There’s the wrong way. 🙅🏻♀️
And there’s the Max Power way! It’s the wrong way – only quicker! 🚀💣
😁 Only Simpson fans will get this!
But it’s the truth though, AI is an accelerator, so the READY, FIRE, AIM method of doing things will quickly identify who made the right choices earlier.
I can only imagine the rate of tech debt accumulation when people just want to quickly jump on the bandwagon without getting fundamentals right.
It was a good conversation – thank you Luca Benini 🥰
It was such a super inaugural event – Irish Dreamin 🍀🥰
It was such a super inaugural event – Irish Dreamin 🍀🥰
From the incredible keynote, to the sessions and #demojam to the food and the venue and the after-party OMG THE AFTER-PARTY 😍
(Sorry to everyone who saw my cringy 80’s boogie-ing 🕺🏻🤭)
We talked AI but it wasn’t all AgentForce.
Discussions were candid and topics relevant.
Less flashy marketing, more down-to-earth honest content.
Totally what the Dreamin events are all about ❤️
Am sure you’ve been hearing lots of this last week but let me lend my voice to it all:
🙌🏻 HUGE Congrats to you all – Anila O’Sullivan Barry Hughes Ciarán Fitzgerald Eric Praud Nishant Singh Panwar Jorgan Strathman for organising such a great event.
As an attendee, a speaker and a member of this beautiful community – this event was just… 😘🤌🏻💋

Can’t wait to see what you all do for the next one!! 😍
How you show up depends on your worldview.
How you show up depends on your worldview.
Star Trek 🖖🏻 or Star Wars?
Are you team RebelAlliance or team GalacticEmpire?
Do you side with the Federation or the Bajoran Resistance?
I am turning to my sci-fi side to help me make sense of what’s happening in the world, because it’s not easy.
I’d like to believe that if someone were to try and forcibly take away civil liberties of my people, I’d stand up.
Of course I’m a hero.
Of course I will do the right thing, even if it might endanger me and mine.
Or do I think that might makes right?
🙅🏻♀️ No! Never!
I align myself to that which is kind and good, and those who care deeply for others whether or not they look or sound the same. ❤️
The United Federation of Planets is but utopia in the Star Trek universe, but one which would be worth fighting and dying for.
Maybe let’s just do that for our own planet. 🌏
In actual fact, it feels more like we are living in the Star Wars universe at the moment, and I am definitely team RebelAlliance.
Even if you aren’t Luke Skywalker and can’t do anything about Darth or the emperor, you can still show your allyship to the RebelAlliance.
Be kind to everyone around YOU. ❤️🩹
Live your values.
Show up. 🫡
It needn’t be big or flashy or performative.
I reject chaos and unkindness, and you should too.
A thousand cuts of kindness CAN make a difference. ❤️
