Excited to share this Weekend Rewind with you!

I found myself telling so many people (colleagues, friends, fellow workshop nerds) about the insights from this episode. Andrew’s approach to marketing, how he frames strategic advisory, and especially the way he gives us permission to stop over-preparing… it was all incredibly refreshing.

If you're someone who designs workshops or feels like you need to be perfectly prepared before facilitating, you'll love Andrew’s perspective on the power of questions and agility. We talk about:

• The year 7 Queen Victoria presentation that kicked off Andrew’s love of organising information
• Why he sees under-preparing as a strategic strength
• How to build marketing momentum through genuine conversations
• What really happens in high-stakes rooms when there’s disagreement—and how to handle it with grace
• A challenge for you: Summarise this convo in 3 sentences on LinkedIn (tag us both!) and win a copy of my book

We also unpacked how to build match fitness as a facilitator (no gym required), and the mindset shift that helped Andrew fall back in love with his work when things started feeling a little... flat.

You can connect with Andrew here:

• Website: https://www.workwell.com.au
• Newsletter: The Five-Minute Strategic Mindset (a Friday staple!)
• Book: From Impossible to Possible
• LinkedIn: Andrew Hollow

This one is for anyone leading strategy, holding space for complexity, or figuring out how to stay sharp and human in the room. Thanks again, Andrew—loved every minute of this.
