One hour, one-to-one, for leaders, founders and anyone responsible for getting something worthwhile done.

We look at the situation properly, find where it's getting stuck, and decide what to do next.

Bring one of these

• An initiative that's stalled
• A team that's struggling to move forward
• A change that isn't landing
• Conflicting priorities nobody will choose between
• A problem that keeps coming back however many times it's "fixed"
• An idea that isn't turning into results

You leave with

• A clearer understanding of what's actually happening
• The one or two underlying issues worth your time
• Practical next steps, the first of them small enough to start this week

What one hour covers

One situation. It's a diagnosis, not an implementation plan. If it needs more than an hour, the Idea to Value Workshop takes the same approach with your whole team.

How it works

1. Buy the hour. You'll be taken straight to my calendar to pick a time.
2. Tell me in two or three lines what's going on. Send anything that would help me get up to speed: a plan, a deck, a one-page summary.
3. We meet on a video call for 60 minutes.

The small print

Online, 60 minutes, one-to-one, and confidential. Need to move it? Reschedule up to 24 hours before.

If you change your mind before booking a time, I'll refund you in full.

Your receipt can go through as a business expense.

Not sure this is the right hour?

If what you need is help getting a talk, message or proposal across, the Communication Office Hour is the one.

Both are explained at cultivatednotes.com/office-hours

Do I need to prepare anything?

No. Bring the thing and anything you already have: notes, a draft, a deck, a sketch.

Can my company pay for it?

Yes. You'll get a receipt when you book, which most people can claim back. The Idea to Value hour in particular is often booked as a business expense.

Is it confidential?

Yes. What you bring stays between us.

Can I book more than one?

Yes. Some people book the 4 session package, or a second hour a few weeks later to see how the first steps went, or to work on the next part.

Is this for teams?

Office Hours is one person and one thing.

For a team, the workshops do the same work with the whole room: the Idea to Value Workshop for situations, and Zero to Keynote or the communication workshops for getting things across.

I'm Rob Lambert.

I've led engineering and led HR, often in the same business, so I tend to see the people side and the delivery side of a problem at the same time.

I've helped scale a business from barely making payroll to an exit. I've run the Idea to Value Workshop more than 300 times, and written Zero to Keynote, Effective Workplace Communication and The Life of an Idea.

I've been a presentation and communication trainer for many years too.

Most of what I bring to an hour comes from having been stuck in the messy middle myself, more than once.
