Your work still needs you.
Just not for every part of it.
I build AI workflows that give you time back on the work that repeats. You still set the standards.
Start with the week you actually have.
In a free conversation, we look at what’s in it and what you’ve tried with AI. You leave knowing whether there’s a useful next step for putting AI into your work, and whether I’m the right person for it.

Every day, AI gets close.
And stops just short.
This is for consultants, advisers, coaches and trainers whose name means something: curious about AI, and unwilling to take it on faith.
You’ve tried it on real work already, and watched it closely.
AI turns three messy interview transcripts into the spine of a client report.
What comes back is fluent, competent, and sounds like every other consultant.
You still have to put your thinking back into it.
You ask AI to boil a dense report down to the points that matter.
It does it in seconds, and sounds just as certain about the one point that’s quietly wrong. You almost let it through.
So now you check everything, even the parts that are right.
You’d have AI pressure-test your recommendation before it goes out.
But the client’s real figures, into a public tool?
There has to be a safer way.
Eight in the evening, and tomorrow’s client session still needs preparing.
It’s the moment AI would help most.
And explaining the job takes longer than doing it.
A sensitive message to a client you’ve known for years.
AI’s draft is polished and says the right things. It is also deaf to every year of history between you.
The message that matters most is the one it can’t write.
The free tools, the half-finished course.
The half-built prompts or projects that would give you real leverage without the risks, if you ever got a clear run at them.
All of it on your own time, unpaid.
And still it doesn’t quite work for you.
Once your judgement has its place,
AI can carry the rest.
Right now you check all of it.
Nothing yet tells you which part needs you.
That is what RAISE & Keep is for.
Every workflow is built to your standards, from your own cases, around the way you already work.
The work still sounds like you.
It just asks less of you.
Take one workflow: winning a client, from the first enquiry to the proposal that goes out.
The decisions need you. A surprising amount of the work around them doesn’t.
You start already briefed.
You are not opening LinkedIn, three browser tabs and your notes before you can even think about the reply.
Researches the person and their organisation, and puts a one-page briefing alongside their enquiry: their role, their company, relevant context, and questions worth having in mind. It drafts a warm reply in your voice, with your booking link already in it.
Decide whether they are right for you, and send.
You correct, not compose.
The thinking stays yours. The hours of reconstructing the conversation afterwards do not.
Turns your recording or notes into your meeting minutes: what they asked for, what they need underneath it, who makes the decision, and the signs that point towards or away from a good fit.
Decide what AI got right, what it misread, and whether this is a client you can serve well.
You make the decisions, not the first draft.
The proposal can go out while it’s still light.
Builds the first full draft from your saved profile of how you write: the situation, your approach, scope, timeline and likely objections.
Make the decisions only you can make, set the price, fine-tune the details and send.
The evening’s back.
The proposal can go out while it’s still light, and the rest of the day goes to whatever’s been waiting for you.
Once it’s set up, the next enquiry doesn’t start from zero.
That workflow is there for the enquiry after this one, and the one after that.
The part that needs you stays yours. The work around it asks less of your time.
Thirty years of reading the room.
Then I put AI to work.
Reading the people, knowing what can be shared and what cannot, weighing what a decision really costs, owning the one your name goes on.
That was my work for thirty years, the last twenty negotiating and defending contracts for international groups, mostly as an independent consultant.
They brought me into high-stakes work: multi-million-euro programmes, compliance-heavy environments, and accountability that came back to me. All of it long before AI.
My clients could not simply bring AI into that work. There were compliance regimes and internal-software-only rules. So I practised on my own time instead, on the business I was moving towards.
And in the beginning I trusted AI too much. Getting that wrong was useful. It showed me exactly where AI stops and I take back over.
Around your line, never over it.
One workflow you understand beats a folder of clever prompts.
Start with the shift that’s worth making
You don’t need ten AI workflows.
We look at what keeps coming round, what having less of it on your plate would actually change, and what it would cost if AI got it wrong.
That gives you a reasoned place to start.
Get that one right first, and the next one becomes easier to judge.
Decide where AI stops
Your line is where AI stops: what it should carry, what it should never touch, and exactly where you take back over. It sits in a different place for every expert, and the workflow is built around yours.
Your standards, your voice and your client confidentiality are built into the workflow, because your reputation is what’s at stake.
Know how it works
Before your work goes near a tool, you should be able to understand what happens to it.
A workflow you can’t understand becomes another thing you’re dependent on when something changes.
So I build yours so you can see what it’s doing and why.
Keep the workflow yours
Tools change. Your workflow doesn’t have to disappear with them.
The important part is written down: the steps, their order, and the point where you take back over. You keep it, and you rebuild from it rather than working it all out again.
The Read. Find the workflow that’s worth changing.
The Read looks across your whole practice rather than starting with the workflow you happen to nominate first.
We weigh what you could get back against what it would cost if AI got it wrong, and find the one worth changing first.
I show you which workflow I’d put first and why. You choose the one I build.
Then we decide where AI runs and where the work comes back to you, and I rebuild that workflow around how you already work.
One workflow, built and tested.
Built around your work, with the line between what AI carries and what stays with you already decided.
Then we put it into your own tools together, in one session, and you run it on a real job before we finish.
The reasoning comes with it, so you can see why each choice was made.
And the rest of your practice, ranked.
The recurring workflows we identify across your practice, with a shortlist of the ones worth doing next.
So you can see where your time is worth protecting, where AI could start giving some of it back, and what isn’t worth handing over at all.
And because the workflow is built for work that comes back, the benefit does too.
The whole practice read, and one workflow built, tested and set up with you.
See how The Read works →The founding price is for the first eight clients. Eight separate practices, each worked one to one.
They help me shape the method, and the outcome is the same at either price. The only difference is how early you are.
You don’t buy this from a page.
We talk first.
You’ll leave knowing whether there’s a sensible next step, whether that’s with me or without me.
I’ll put that in writing afterwards, so you don’t have to decide on the call.
Trust your scepticism.
Then put it to work.
You already don’t trust raw AI output, and you’re right not to.
So you read it twice, and the second read costs you the time the first one saved.
The Expert’s Pass
It gives that second read a method, so it takes minutes, not the time you saved.
You decide what meets your standard.
A short check for sensitive information comes first, so you can run it on your real client work.
- what looks invented or overclaimed
- where the draft stops sounding like you
- where it falls below your bar
A project you set up once.
Yours to keep.
About ten minutes, no technical skill needed. It lives in Claude or ChatGPT, on whichever plan you already have, free included.
A second read in minutes, without starting the whole reread from scratch.
A repeatable way to catch problems before your name goes on the work.
Eight practices.
Built one to one.
Why eight? Enough to test the method on real practices, and few enough that each one shapes it.
The founding price for one workflow built to take real weight out of work that keeps coming back.
And a say in the method while it takes shape on practices like yours.
One more call after ninety days, to check the workflow held up through a busy quarter.
After the eighth place, the founding price ends.
Once the workflow is running, I want to hear what worked and what didn’t.
And at the end, I’d like a testimonial from you, named rather than anonymous. I’ll send the questions, so you’re only ever answering. Saying no costs you nothing.
If you’re wondering whether The Read fits your practice, bring me the week you have.
Let’s look at your week together
The work isn’t going away.
But not all of it needs to keep landing on you.
If some part of your week keeps coming round and taking more of you than it should, bring me the week you actually have.
