The Monday session

A 90-minute live session for people managers. They leave knowing what to say, what to change, and how to tell someone who is coping from someone who is fine.

For managers and HR

I teach managers and HR teams what to say, and what to change, when someone's health is unpredictable. So capable people stay at work.

Most managers want to get this right. Few have been taught how.

CMI UK poll, September 2025. 97 percent agree managers should be trained to manage health-related absence. 36 percent say their organisation provides it. Source

People hide it, and managers read fine as capacity.

Good days are dangerous.

A good day is borrowed from tomorrow. "They seemed fine on Tuesday" is usually why Thursday is gone.
