The cost of painful, boring, unproductive meetings
Even though your team members may be individually smart and capable, why is it that meetings get so difficult?
It's not your fault, or your team members'- something mysterious happens in the team dynamics when people come together and have meetings!
Sub-optimal meetings that waste time and erode motivation and goodwill
The same topics keep coming up in meeting after meeting.
There's no clear resolution, decision or outcomes.
Conversations seem to go round in circles and last forever.
A few people do the majority of the talking. Others hardly talk, even though they probably have value to offer.
Meetings that feel painful, boring, frustrating, unproductive, demotivating...
Unproductive meetings drain motivation from team members and affects all of their work.
Some people show up live online/in person but have already checked out even before they join the meeting.
Because they are just waiting for the meeting to be over so they can then go and get on with some real work instead.
It shouldn't be like this
It's too common.
Too many people suffer from it.
It doesn't have to be Bullet list this way.
It's not Rocket Science.
It's simple to fix if you know how, and have the right tools.
I've done my time suffering from it & decided to find a better way
Early in my career, I was frustrated by needing to check everything with my managers and felt I could do much better without them.
Later, I felt burdened in leadership positions by others checking too much with me when they didn't need to.
So, I explored flatter, more collaborative ways of working. This was great for getting buy-in and hearing more perspectives, but it took too long.
There just had to be a better way, so I researched and experimented with many different ways of running teams.
I've spent over 25 years searching for it
I have curated and organised my learnings from over 25 years of study, research, experimentation, practice, training and consulting- into an easily accessible step-by-step online program for teams to follow.

What Our Clients Say
Working through this coursework as a team allowed for our organization to build a foundation for working together that helped us to make decisions more efficiently and gave power to individual role holders to move work forward. Our team is working more efficiently together and we're getting more done.
Working with Evolving Organisation helped me get clarity on the issues underlying our problems, really focusing on defining the tensions and then working on solutions to ease them. I'm really grateful for the sustained commitment and support I've received from Nick over a number of years. This has helped me not just with my immediate challenges, but in other parts of my life as well.
The coaching sessions were very inspiring and opened up a whole new field for me, one that I plan to explore further on my own and integrate into my daily work. I truly hope that the new methods will take root in our company
Nick was a God-send. I can't imagine anyone who would answer our questions more clearly and promptly, or who would guide our meetings with more expertise as well as having a steady hand on the tiller when the emotional waters occasionally got turbulent during meetings!
Nick's approach really helped us take one step at a time to unpick the issues and build the bones of a workable solution. He found space in the workshops for all voices and bought his out organizational insights to us to help us find workable ways forward.
The training has brought the team closer together, helping us to view the work we do through a shared lense. There is more clarity around roles, decisions are being made more efficiently and everything just feels a bit more organised and alighned!
This course offered an exceptional opportunity to witness the foundations of a significant organisational transformation. It provided me with a robust understanding of Holacracy and Self-Management principles. The well-structured, engaging videos, paired with Nick's enthusiasm and expertise, created an educational experience that perfectly balanced sensitivity and productivity.
Nick and his team have a lot of experience, they are understanding and quickly identify the areas where I need help. They showed me new ways to structure roles, optimize the work process and make quick decisions, which will certainly help me in my work.
- brought team together - recognised challenges in lack of role clarity - recognised limitations in terms of capacity within the team, technology solutions - recognised "easy wins" in terms of individuals recognising their current role - ie write it down based on what you actually do, sharing with others, creating a trusted system - recognised it is a long term challenge to embed further in t...
I would highly recommend the course to any Senior Management Team, or any team, that simply wants to work better and get more done and be happier in the process.
The work you’ve done with us, as we go through the process of reorganising ourselves, has been really good. What I've particularly appreciated is the way you've gently challenged some of our assumptions and behaviours.
The course has been designed really thoughtfully and systematically. Nick introduces a few key practices every month. These practices are relevant for all organisations wanting to raise their game.
Our CEO decided to step down last Summer and rather than recruit a replacement, the team decided to look at alternative ways of working. Nick's support and coaching helped us maintain focus and as a result the CEO officially stepped down at the start of April. His guidance throughout the process has been invaluable as he's helped us find a way of working that is right for us as a team.
Your Instructor
Since the mid-1990s, I have been studying, researching, experimenting with, practising and training people how to improve how they work together in teams and organisations.
I've worked with thousands of people (including as a Partner with
HolacracyOne, the organization that founded Holacracy) and am one of only 7 Holacracy Master Coaches in the world. I have distilled the lessons I've learned into a series of online programmes and expert support.
I lead on projects and work with our Associates/ Apprentices/ peers from a wide network of expertise as needed. Our purpose is to inspire, equip and support Changemakers to make changes by upgrading how well your teams are adapted to surviving and thriving in our complex and changing world.

All into an easily accessible set of step-by-step online programs for teams to follow.
The Cost of Not Doing Anything
Continue wasting time and money- approx £20k a year for a team of 20 on an average UK salary
Continue causing frustration among team members and demotivating them
Continue missing out on your team members realising their potential
Continue your current levels of underperformance and productivity
Many people think they can just do it on their own, try and fail, make things worse, and then go back to how they were doing things but having wasted a lot of time, effort and goodwill.
Imagine your team with more productive and motivational meetings with a clear meeting structure, process and outcomes
No more circular, endless discussions without clear outcomes. Your team’s operational meetings have a clear structure for people to arrive in the meeting, efficiently share key information and updates, build an agenda in a few minutes at the start of the meeting without discussion, then get through each point on the agenda so that each person gets what they need for their roles.
Your meetings are well facilitated with a trained Facilitator (who can be but is advised not to be the Team Lead), following a clear process that supports everyone to speak when needed. Meeting outputs are clearly captured and assigned to roles.
