“Whether we are dealing with children's services, domestic violence, nursing, arts and culture, gambling, care services; so often the answer is staring them in the face. But they don't see it, can't see it, have convinced themselves that the answer isn't there and they can't find it.”

When faced with problems, Jim Clifford OBE helps people reframe and reimagine what’s possible. He does this by challenging assumptions, turning obstacles into assets, and harnessing the power of the story.

  • Simple questions lead to solutions, but listening is the only place where change can happen,
