Build A Business That Works
A workshop designed for the way you actually think — not the way you “should” think
2 in person days | Central London | 8th & 15th June 2026
When your business works, it’s wonderful
It’s fun, exciting, and satisfying — and it supports the life and lifestyle you really want
But when it’s not, it can be hell
You get sucked into the daily whirlwind as
self-doubt, stress, overwhelm, and exhaustion set in
But it doesn’t have to be that way
Imagine a business that works for you, rather than you working for it
A business built the way that you actually think, decide and operate
Not the way someone else says you should
That becomes possible when you build on a foundation most business training never touches: a clear, authentic understanding of yourself
Self-awareness is the most powerful business tool there is. And almost nobody teaches it
Most programmes focus on strategy, systems, and productivity — all valuable, but only once you understand yourself.
Build A Business That Works starts with you
When you understand yourself everything changes
What would become possible if you fully understood what drives you?
You’d stop working against your own grain
Stop building systems designed for someone else’s brain
And start building a business with your values at its centre
Goals that motivate because they’re authentically yours
And a way of working that energises rather than exhausts
Creating an environment in which you can make your best decisions
And take powerful action
And when you understand how you work, you begin to see how others work
That’s when real leadership becomes possible
Acrastination®
Doug Mather’s Acrastination® framework
developed over 20 years of research across psychology, neuroscience and behavioural design
is built on one core insight:
Consistent high performance becomes natural when you’re operating in full alignment with who you are
It’s not another productivity system. Not another set of rules.
It’s a way of understanding yourself and others that makes everything else easier
Enabling you to
Do What Matters, When it Matters
Built for the way you actually think — neurodivergent thinkers included!
This workshop works with your thinking style, whatever that looks like
Big picture or fine detail. Reflective or structured
Neurodivergent or simply someone for whom standard business advice has never quite worked
For neurodivergent entrepreneurs especially, whose creativity, pattern recognition, and hyperfocus are genuine business advantages
this may be the first programme that reflects how you actually experience your working life
Not compensating for how you’re wired but capitalising on it.
No being put on the spot. No performing
Just psychologically safe, deeply practical work at a pace where real insight can evolve
What you’ll create over the two days
Day One: Building Foundations
- Uncover the values that genuinely drive you
- Reveal the beliefs quietly limiting what feels possible
- Design a vivid long-term vision for your business and your life
- Learn a science-backed framework that turns wishful thinking into clear planning
- Develop the ability to pause between stimulus and response — the moment where self-understanding becomes self-mastery.
Day Two: Insight into Momentum
- Learn to focus on a maximum of three meaningful goals at any one time — energising rather than overwhelming
- Discover how self-knowledge changes the way you delegate, systemise, and lead
- Unlock the value in your existing client relationships
- Build an accountability structure designed around how you personally stay motivated
- Create lasting change, not just good intentions
The Result
Clarity Confidence and Freedom
A business that’s more predictable, more resilient, and more enjoyable to run
Built on the most solid foundation there is: an honest, empowering understanding of yourself
Who is this is for?
Business owners and managers ready to stop working against themselves and build something that fits
Especially if you’re neurodivergent
feel like the bottleneck in your own business
find consistent follow-through difficult
or have tried other programmes and found they never stuck
