The people who can change everything for you already exist.

They're waiting to help you.

They just don't know you need them yet.

You don't have a network problem. You have a visibility problem. And we're going to fix it.

What's the goal that currently feels just out of reach? What's the change you want to make in the world? What have you been complaining about? Wishing could be different? Watching others succeed at, wishing it was you?

What have you been telling yourself you'll get to — when the time is right?

Here's the good news and the bad news.

The bad news: You can't do it alone. The good news: You don't have to.

You already have a hidden network of people waiting to help you.

In 1973, sociologist Mark Granovetter proved it. His landmark paper — The Strength of Weak Ties — showed that our biggest opportunities don't come from our closest friends. They come from people on the periphery of our network. Your weakest connections, paradoxically, are often your most valuable ones.

And in this workshop, we're going to find them. And activate them.

While you're waiting for the right moment, other people are making the ask.

Right now, someone with a similar idea is asking the exact people who could help them.

And those people are saying yes. Because people want to help.

Here's what every single person says after they make their first ask.

That was so much easier than I thought.

The fear of asking is always, always bigger than the ask itself. The conversation you've been dreading takes three minutes. The person you thought was too important, too busy, too senior to care is delighted you reached out.

And one more thing:

Every time you don't make the ask, you're actually doing the other person a disservice.

Research shows that being asked for help is one of the most connecting, affirming experiences a human being can have. It makes people feel valued. Capable. Trusted. We did a whole episode on it with David Robson, author of The Laws of Connection. Listen here.

So really, by not asking, you're being a bit selfish. (ha!)

Here's what we do on the day:

1. We start by getting precise about what you actually want. You get clear and specific: this-is-exactly-what-success-looks-like and this is how I'll measure it.

2. We map your network. Who are the obvious people to help? Who else do you need? And how can you reach them? We identify the six people most likely to move the needle for you. And we work out exactly how to reach them.

3. Then we do the hardest and most important thing: we craft the ask. We make it simple and clear. Impossible to say no to. Because people aren't mind readers and the way you ask determines whether they say yes.

4. Finally, we work on the story you tell. The one that makes people not just willing to help but absolutely desperate to. We help you unlock value you didn't see before, leverage you didn't realise you have and the one thing that never fails to move people — emotion.

You leave with a minimum of six asks ready to make.

Not someday. Immediately.

This workshop is inspired by my TEDx talk of the same name.

In 2021, my 12-week-old puppy disappeared from my garden in rural Suffolk.

Over the next six days I searched for her with the help of complete strangers.

After 144 hours, she was returned to us.  I would never have got it back had it not been for the people who helped me.

I took everything that happened over the course of that week and turned it into a framework for achieving something impossible.

Every principle in this workshop was tested in real conditions. Under real pressure. With real stakes.

The science agrees.

Mark Granovetter's landmark paper on weak ties showed that our biggest opportunities come not from our closest friends but from the edges of our network. David Robson's Laws of Connection shows that asking for help is one of the most bonding experiences humans can share.

My experience proves it’s possible to activate an invisible network overnight.

And this workshop gives you the practical tools to activate yours.  

This workshop is perfect for:

• People with an ambitious goal and no clear route to it

• People who know what they want but not who to ask

• People in transition — new role, new chapter, new mission

• People raising money, building movements or driving change

• Teams who want to move faster on something that matters

• Anyone who has done a moonshot planning session and needs help making it real

If you've ever said I just need to find the right people, this is where you find them.

You don't need an impossible goal, you just need something that matters to you that you can't do alone.

You don't have to be a networker. You just have to want something badly enough to ask for it.

This is not a ‘networking’ workshop. It's about knowing exactly who to ask and how to ask them.

The people you think are too busy and too important…  Really want to help.

You're not using people. You're giving them the chance to help you.

Research shows being asked for help is one of the most connecting experiences a human being can have.
