A Buzz Coaching workshop session with owners working through their own figures
Home / Resources / Workshops

Workshops for business owners.

Two days on the person, the leader or the business, taught live by Andy and applied to your own figures in the room.

What a workshop costs.

The fee is the same whichever of the three you take. Groups run from eight to twenty people.

£795 + VATA head, open cohort

Two days, lunch and the printed workbook included. Book one seat or several.

£6,500 + VATIn-house, up to twelve

Your own people, your date, your figures — and a copy of the book for everyone attending. It is cheaper than per-head pricing from about nine people.

Beyond twelve people, tell us how many and we will price it. Travel and a venue outside Northern Ireland are charged at cost and agreed before anything is booked.

Each session is twenty minutes of teaching, then forty working on your own figures.

Every session in the two days follows the same four steps.

01

Short teaching

The mechanism explained in about twenty minutes, with real numbers rather than theory.

02

Long working session

Forty minutes or more applying it to your own clients, your own team and your own figures. This is most of the two days.

03

Debrief

What the room found, what got uncomfortable, and what that tells you.

04

Something written

Every session ends with something written down, and by the close of day two these add up to the plan.

One workshop for each of the three books.

Delivered in-house for a leadership team, or as an open cohort you join on your own. Each one has a book behind it and a coaching area alongside it.

Workshop 01 · the person

You 2.0 — the workshop

2 days live · optional day 3 · groups of 8–20

For owner-managers and founders, typically with two to fifty staff. Come to this one on your own.

You leave with
  • A scored baseline across the eight personal capacities, with evidence
  • Principles, values and standards written, ranked and anchored to your real week
  • A one-page personal operating system, assembled in the final session
  • A weekly review rhythm that starts the following Monday

Taught live by Andy. The book behind it: You 2.0. Alongside: Personal Coaching.

Workshop 02 · the leader

Leadership 2.0 — the workshop

2 days live · optional day 3, thirty days on · groups of 8–20

For owners who lead a team and were never taught the job. More useful in-house with your senior people, because a decision-rights map has to be agreed by the people who will live under it.

You leave with
  • Your Leadership Wheel scored twice — on instinct, then against two days of evidence
  • A decision-rights map, a delegation handover and a commitment board, built on your real business
  • Your oldest avoided conversation planned, rehearsed and booked
  • A 90-day Leadership Performance Plan with its reviews already in the diary

Taught live by Andy. The book behind it: Leadership 2.0. Alongside: Leadership Coaching.

Workshop 03 · the business

Business 2.0 — the workshop

2 days live · groups of 8–20

For owners who want the business to run — and grow — without them in every decision. Bring the people who run the work.

You leave with
  • The Wheel of Business scored across nine areas
  • Pricing, pipeline, delivery and decision-limit worksheets completed on your own numbers
  • An operating rhythm: the weekly meeting, the scoreboard, the quarterly review
  • A 90-day Business Performance Plan with owners, dates and measures

Taught live by Andy. The book behind it: Business 2.0. Alongside: Business Coaching.

Is a workshop or a coaching programme the right thing?

A workshop teaches a set of mechanisms and makes you apply them once, properly, with help in the room, and it finishes when the two days finish. That suits an owner whose difficulty was knowing what to do: plenty of people leave with the plan, work it and buy nothing else. A coaching programme is for the more common case, where you knew roughly what to do, have known for a while, and it still has not happened. In that case what moves it is somebody expecting an answer in the middle of the month about the thing you committed to at the start of it.

If you have written a plan in the last two years and then worked it, the two days will be enough. If the plans are still in a drawer, start with the coaching.

Where they run

Open cohorts run in Northern Ireland, and in-house runs happen wherever your business is — travel outside Northern Ireland is charged at cost and agreed up front. For an in-house workshop you provide the room and we bring everything else, including the printed workbooks and a copy of the book for everyone attending.

Dates for open cohorts are scheduled around demand rather than published a year ahead, so the practical route is to say which of the three you want and whether you would rather join a cohort or run it in-house. If you are not sure the workshop is the right rung at all, the free tools will tell you where the business is constrained in about four minutes, and the Performance on Purpose page explains the method the whole thing is built on.

Frequently asked questions

What does a workshop cost?

£795 plus VAT a head for the two days on an open cohort, or £6,500 plus VAT to run it in-house for up to twelve people from one business. The in-house fee includes a copy of the book for everyone attending and the printed workbooks, and it is the cheaper option from about nine people onwards. Beyond twelve, say how many and we will price it. Lunch and materials are in the per-head fee; travel and a venue outside Northern Ireland are charged at cost and agreed before anything is booked.

Is this group coaching?

No. A workshop is a taught course with a fixed syllabus that finishes when the two days finish: you learn a set of mechanisms, apply them to your own figures and leave with a written plan. Coaching here is one to one, ongoing, and built around somebody holding you to what you said you would do. The two are priced separately and bought separately, and plenty of people do the workshop on its own. The room does add something a book cannot, which is eight to twenty other owners asking the questions you had not thought to ask, but the teaching is still a syllabus rather than a rolling agenda.

What do I leave with?

You leave with a written plan, which differs for each of the three. You 2.0 produces a scored baseline and a one-page personal operating system. Leadership 2.0 produces a decision-rights map, a delegation handover, a rehearsed conversation with a date on it, and a 90-day plan. Business 2.0 produces completed pricing, pipeline and delivery worksheets on your own numbers plus a 90-day Business Performance Plan. In every case the plan has owners, dates and measures.

How is it taught?

Each block runs about twenty minutes explaining the mechanism with real numbers rather than theory, then forty or more applying it to your own clients, your own team and your own figures, then a debrief on what the room found and what got uncomfortable. Most of the two days is spent working rather than listening, and what you produce in the working sessions is what you take home. Groups run from eight to twenty so there is time for everyone’s actual situation.

Should I bring my team or come alone?

For You 2.0, come alone, because it is about you. For Leadership 2.0 and Business 2.0 the in-house version with your senior people is considerably more useful, because the decision-rights map and the operating rhythm have to be agreed by the people who will live under them. An owner who builds those alone has to sell them to the team afterwards.

Do I need to read the book first?

It helps but it is not required, and nothing in the two days assumes you have. People who have read it spend none of the workshop catching up on the mechanism and all of it on their own application, so they tend to get more out of the same two days. If you want to read one first, take the one matching the workshop you are booked on. On the in-house version the books come with the fee, so there is no need to buy copies separately beforehand.

When are the next dates?

Open cohorts are scheduled around demand rather than published a year ahead, so ask us. Say which of the three you want and whether you would rather join an open cohort or run it in-house, and you will get the next suitable dates. In-house runs are often easier to arrange quickly, because the date is yours to choose rather than everybody else’s, and they can be split across two separate days if taking two consecutive days out of the business is the problem.

Tell us which workshop you want, and whether it is you or your team.
