What people say

One Approach
Three Ways to Get Started

I

Intro Session
1 hour

For: networks, events,
conferences and forums

An introduction to why important work gets stuck, why plans are not always enough, and how the approach reveals the hidden layer of change.

Best if: you want people to understand the idea and decide whether to bring it back into their own team, department or organisation.

2

Open Workshop
2 hours

For: networks, membership bodies & capacity builders.

Participants from different organisations bring their own live challenge, build a personal map, and leave with a practical next step.

Best if: you want to build capacity across a sector, network or community, without needing everyone to share the same challenge.

3

Team Workshop
1/2 day

For: teams, departments and
whole organisations.

People work on individual or shared challenges, build personal maps, share enough to create common language, insight & team learning.

Best if: you want to support progress while strengthening how people in the same team understand and work with each other.

What happens in the workshop?

You bring one real challenge, something important that has not been shifting.

The workshop takes you through a structured map-making process. You look at the change you want to make, what keeps happening instead, what that pattern may be protecting, and what assumptions may be holding it in place.

You leave with a clearer map, a practical next step, and an approach you can use again.

Is this for me and my team?

This is for people doing important work in education, healthcare, social care, housing, local authorities and charities.

It is useful for teachers, headteachers, teaching assistants, GPs, doctors, nurses, social workers, housing officers, support workers, charity staff, trustees, managers and leadership teams.

It is not just for senior leaders. It is for anyone with a role in helping change happen, individually or collectively.

What can we work on?

You can bring an individual, team or organisational challenge.

Examples include behaviour, attendance, attainment, staff sickness, staff wellbeing, staff turnover, volunteer retention, delegation, difficult conversations, shared responsibility, partnership working, over-prescribing, trust, team culture, or making projects run more consistently.

Bring something real that matters and has not been moving as you hoped.

Why is it no cost?

These workshops are currently offered at no cost because this work is easier to understand by experiencing it than by hearing about it.

I want people doing important frontline, public and charitable work to be able to try the approach without needing to build a business case first.

What happens after the workshop?

The workshop stands alone. You leave with a map, a next step, and an approach you can keep using.

But the workshop is also a beginning. The real value comes from using the approach in the flow of your work.

For people who want support to keep practising, there is currently no-cost access to the Frontline Feel Good practice community.

It gives you an ongoing rhythm and structure for applying the approach to real challenges in your work, in around 15 minutes twice a week, in your own time.

Who’s behind this

John-Paul Wares

Hi, I'm John-Paul, founder of Frontline Feel Good.I’ve spent over a decade working on the frontline, in leadership roles, and across wider systems, including running an MP’s office, developing services for a national homelessness charity, building local partnerships, and advising senior civil servants and ministers.Again and again, I saw good people working hard to make change happen, and finding that the work would not move in the way they had hoped.That led me to train in Immunity to Change, a Harvard-developed process for helping people understand why changes they genuinely want can still get stuck.I created Frontline Feel Good to bring that approach to people doing important public and charitable work in our communities.

Not ready to book

Persistent challenges rarely shift through effort alone.I share short reflections, useful exercises and real examples for frontline professionals working on things that matter, but won’t shift.
