Helping teams and organisations learn, adapt and share power
I work alongside teams and organisations to navigate change through learning, facilitation and partnership. My work focuses on power, participation and ways of working - particularly where people are experimenting beyond familiar structures and need space to learn together.
I tend to work with organisations, networks and initiatives that are trying to do things differently - whether that’s shifting governance, redistributing decision-making, building healthier cultures, or learning as they go in complex contexts.
I bring a combination of facilitation, learning partnership and coaching, and I work collaboratively and relationally, often alongside other practitioners.
Facilitating
Designing and facilitating workshops, gatherings and retreats that support shared learning, participation and good decision-making. I’m comfortable working with uncertainty and helping groups make progress without rushing to premature clarity.
Learning Partnership
Working alongside programmes, funds and initiatives to support reflection, sensemaking and adaptation over time. This often includes facilitating learning spaces, capturing insight and acting as a critical friend as the work evolves.
Coaching
Supporting individuals navigating transition, responsibility and how they show up in the world, often alongside wider organisational or system change work. My coaching is reflective, relational and grounded in real-world contexts.
Governance & Ways of Working
Helping organisations experiment with more participatory, equitable and adaptive approaches to governance, decision-making and collaboration - paying close attention to how power shows up in practice.
Convening
Bringing people together across roles, organisations or sectors to learn, connect and tackle shared challenges. This includes designing and hosting spaces that build trust, surface difference and support collective inquiry.
Writing & Synthesis
Capturing learning and insight through research and writing, helping ideas travel across disciplines, sectors and siloes. This often supports learning partnerships and longer-term change work.
I approach this work with a commitment to practising anti-oppressive and feminist approaches, and to continuing to learn about how power and responsibility show up in the systems I’m part of.
People often describe my work as inclusive, thoughtful and grounded, with a balance of careful design and responsiveness to what’s emerging in the room.
"As a learning partner you provided a safe space in which I could critically but kindly look at what was done, how and what possible futures could be imagined."

“Jamie took real care in designing and facilitating our team away days. As a result, our team formed deeper connections and laid strong foundations of trust.”
Gwen, Head of Politics, Uplift
I’m available for one-off projects and ongoing partnerships, working primarily online alongside in-person work in the South-West and occasionally further afield.
If you’re exploring change and want a thoughtful, relational partner to work alongside you, feel free to get in touch or book a virtual coffee.
