Setting OKRs feels like doing taxes
Strategic reroutes are the only constant
Well-intentioned rituals don’t stick
Tech-debt rabbit holes never seem to end
Team spirit isn’t on the agenda of your stakeholders
Relationships are built through screens and text boxes
You talk about AI more than you actually use it

I think there’s tremendous value in pushing the status quo or pushing yourself.
There’s something remarkable about deciding and pursuing something you haven’t done before. See what happens. This belief means that in life, I try to do something challenging once in a while; like walking across Scotland without a phone, running a marathon, meditating 100 hours in 10 days, exploring India on my own, starting a business.
Professionally it means I'm drawn to big moments with big pay offs; like a 350 person workshop, a 3 day training in an art gallery without heating, or running a leadership retreat with the brother of the king of the Netherlands. I enjoy feeling like, can I really do this?
Oh and while, yes, I just gave you a ‘look at me I love HARD things’ list of stuff, I don’t take myself very seriously; I love to make people laugh, and would describe myself as an ‘odd dutch bird’ who just really wants you to be delighted by a moment at work you kind of dreaded organizing. I believe that you can tailor an experience that specifically meets the demands of a group, crafting a moment that lives up to the promise of potential that your people deserve.

When your team clicks, everything becomes easier: dealing with ambiguity, prioritising impact, managing conflicts & finding purpose. It’s an amazing feeling to be in a team that gets it.
“I believe that if you listen closely; you can tailor experiences that live up to the potential that your team deserves.”
When the work ahead is clear to everyone, momentum picks up, questions bring clarity & focus becomes second nature. You become a team that knows what they’re here to do and gets on with it.

Hi, I'm Tom, I run tech team offsites that work wonders.
Hi, I'm Tom,
I run tech team offsites that work wonders.
Your offsite, your blockers.
No off the shelf workshops. We'll cover your needs.
No cocktail making, bowling or axe throwing.
Collaborative work is crucial, but getting to know each other can be done more effectively than learning how to mini-golf.
1:1 interviews
To create an offsite that meets the needs of the team, I'll need to talk to at least two members.
Flexible locations
Depending on budget & team location, we can run it at my Amsterdam space, your office, or online.
Energetic facilitation
You’re such a ball of energy and essential in helping our team come together async, making a huge impact. You Rock!

Tom's delivery elevated the entire session. It made the day genuinely engaging. The topics he covered could easily have felt dry, but his cool and confident style kept us both interested and energised. I especially enjoyed the first activity, where we identified one pain point and one opportunity in discovery work. We surfaced a key insight: customer access consistently comes up as a major challenge

"It's just so much fun to reflect with Tom and create workshops together. I see Tom as a valuable team member for every organisation that needs to shake things up!"

Rooted in Agile
If you’re having trouble with unproductive meetings, difficulty establishing agile processes, or generally need someone to chat to, Tom is your guy. Tom has the natural ability to bring order to procedural chaos and to turn what looks like a mess of a meeting into the most productive meeting you’ve ever been a part of. I did not know what a good agile coach could do for a team until I met Tom.
