What this is
This is a complete lunch & learn session you can run with a team.
It’s designed for:
- business teams
- project / delivery environments
- anyone dealing with problems that feel stuck or unclear
It’s practical, not theoretical.
Participants work on a real problem they already have, not a case study.
What happens in the session
In 60 minutes:
- Participants bring a real “impossible” problem
- They work through a simple 4-step drill
- They leave with one specific action to take within 48 hours
The structure is intentionally tight:
Diagnose → Deconstruct → Leverage → Test
This isn’t about solving everything.
It’s about changing how the problem is approached

What the session covers
Diagnose
Separate real constraints from assumptions and “ghost rules”
Deconstruct
Break one large problem into smaller, workable parts
Leverage
Identify the smallest change that shifts the situation
Test
Define a 48-hour action that is low-risk but informative

How it’s designed to work
- Built around interaction (not presentation-heavy)
- Uses live input from participants
- Focuses on real problems, not theory
The aim is simple:
reduce the feeling of “this is impossible”
→ and replace it with one clear next move
