01Ways to work together

Start with what
your situation needs.

A team clarifying its priorities. A leader thinking through a difficult decision. An organization exploring what AI means for its people. We begin with your context and what would make our time together useful.

Communication & collaboration

Team facilitation & connection

Facilitated sessions that help teams communicate openly, work through differences and strengthen working relationships. We connect the human side of collaboration with the priorities the team needs to move forward.

When it helps
You’re bringing a team together, navigating a transition, or working through differences that affect collaboration.
Formats
Team-building workshops, offsite facilitation, structured meetings and learning series.
Outcomes we work toward
Stronger working relationships, shared priorities and clear agreements about how to work together.

Clarity & direction

Consulting

We work through where you are now, what you want to achieve and what is getting in the way. Together, we examine assumptions and options, connect business priorities with the people involved, and develop a practical plan of action.

When it helps
You need to clarify a business priority, work through an important decision or navigate a change affecting your team.
Formats
A focused one-on-one consulting session, or a tailored series built around your priorities and the decisions ahead.
Outcomes we work toward
A clear view of your current position, agreed objectives and a practical action plan for addressing barriers and putting solutions into practice.

Learning & change

The human side of AI at work

Explore what AI is changing and what your people need. We consider opportunities, risks and questions about roles, learning and meaningful work, then identify practical next steps together.

When it helps
People have different hopes or concerns about AI, or your team needs space to consider how new tools fit the work and the people doing it.
Formats
An exploratory workshop or facilitated discussion shaped around your team’s context.
Outcomes we work toward
Shared understanding of staff hopes and concerns, clearer learning needs and priorities for what to explore next.

Ideas & public conversation

Interviews & event moderation

Carefully prepared interviews and discussions that bring ideas and people into focus. Curious questions and attentive facilitation help speakers explore their work and audiences understand its relevance.

When it helps
You’re planning a conference, public event or recorded feature and want a substantive discussion that engages your audience.
Formats
Live or recorded interviews, panel moderation and audience Q&A.
Outcomes we work toward
A clearer understanding of the speakers’ work, different perspectives heard, and useful ideas for the audience to carry forward.
02In practice

Warmth, structure
and room to think.

My work combines preparation with attention to what is happening in the room. I design for participation, listen for what needs more space, and help people connect thoughtful discussion with clearer decisions and practical action.

Interviewing · HumanX Amsterdam · September 2026

In conversation with Rasmus Holst

A recorded conversation with Zensai’s CEO about learning, engagement, performance and Human Success in the age of AI.

03How we begin

Start with
a conversation.

  1. Understand what matters.

    What are you working toward, who is involved, and what would a useful outcome look like?

  2. Agree a focus and plan.

    We agree the objectives, format and scope, including who should be involved and what we want the work to produce.

  3. Make space for the work.

    I bring preparation, structure and a responsive approach, with attention to both the people and the purpose.
