Training

Training your people will actually use – not a box-ticked afternoon they forget by the following week.

Formats: Leadership workshops · Team training sessions • Lunch & learns · Multi-session programmes

Most workplace training doesn’t change anything.

People attend. They listen. They go back to work on Monday exactly the same.

That’s not what I do.

I’m Jodie Hill – employment law solicitor, workplace culture expert and founder of Thrive Law.

My training is designed to create real shifts in thinking, behaviour and leadership.

Why neurodiversity recruitment drives fail at month six

45–90 min HR & People Teams

Organisations invest heavily in attracting neurodivergent talent, then lose those people within the first year. This session looks at what happens between the offer letter and the exit interview — and why the problem is almost never the individual.

Who it's for

HR directors, people teams, heads of talent and DE&I leads.

Audience takeaways

Where the drop-off actually happens in the employee lifecycle, and the warning signs before someone resigns
Why standard onboarding, probation and performance processes disadvantage neurodivergent employees by default
A practical retention checklist that can be applied without redesigning the whole HR function

Format: 45–60 minute keynote, or 90 minute workshop with team exercises.

The reasonable adjustment nobody asked for

What the law requires, what tribunals are seeing, and the gap between the two

45–60 min HR, Legal & Managers

Most organisations believe they are meeting their legal duties. Many are not, and the gap usually shows up only when a claim lands. Delivered from the position of a practising employment solicitor who acts on both sides of these cases.

Who it's for

HR teams, in-house legal, line managers, and legal sector audiences.

Audience takeaways

What the duty to make reasonable adjustments actually requires — and the common misreadings
The recurring patterns in claims, and the point at which a manageable situation becomes a tribunal case
How to have the adjustment conversation properly, including what not to put in writing

Format: 45–60 minute keynote. Adapts well to a legal-sector or CPD audience.

Mental breakdown to breakthrough

How to build a thriving culture

30–45 min Conferences & Company Events

The personal keynote. The story behind Thrive Law, told honestly — what a breakdown revealed about how organisations respond to people at their lowest point, and what was built out of it.

Who it's for

Conference audiences, whole-company events, awards, leadership away days. Works as an opener or a closer.

Audience takeaways

What burnout looks like from the inside, before anyone else notices
Why wellbeing initiatives fail when the culture underneath them hasn't changed
What leaders can do differently in the moment that actually matters

Format: 30–45 minute keynote. Strong closing slot.

Psychological safety without the poster campaign

What it costs, what it isn't, and how to tell whether you have it

45 min – half day Leadership & Boards

Psychological safety has become a term leaders use without a shared definition. This session replaces the slogan with something measurable, and is direct about what it costs to build.

Who it's for

Leadership teams, boards, senior managers.

Audience takeaways

A working definition, and three signals that tell you whether it exists in your team today
The behaviours that quietly destroy it — most of them well-intentioned
What changes in a leader's week, in practical terms, if they take this seriously

Format: 45 minute keynote, or half-day leadership workshop.

The difficult employee

ADHD, performance management, and the conversations managers get wrong

60–90 min Line Managers

Aimed squarely at line managers. The employee who misses deadlines, talks over people in meetings, or goes quiet under pressure is often managed as a performance problem when something else is going on.

Who it's for

Line managers, HR business partners, team leaders.

Audience takeaways

How ADHD and other neurodivergent traits present at work, and how they are commonly misread
How to run the conversation — what to ask, what to avoid, and when to involve HR
Where performance management is still the right route, and how to do it fairly

Format: 60 minute session, or 90 minute workshop with scenario practice.

Culture is a legal risk

Why your people strategy is now a board-level issue

45 min Executives & Boards

Written for executive audiences. Culture is usually presented to boards as an engagement metric. This session reframes it as exposure — legal, financial and reputational — and sets out what a board should be asking for.

Who it's for

Executive teams, boards, HR directors, general counsel.

Audience takeaways

Where culture failures convert into legal and financial cost, with real patterns from practice
The questions a board should be putting to its people function, and what good answers look like
What is changing in the employment law landscape, and what to prepare for

Format: 45 minute board briefing or conference keynote.

Nobody is coming to discover you

Building a personal brand that actually brings in work

45–90 min Personal Brand

Built from doing it: a law firm founder with a national media profile and a following across LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, in a profession that is often uncomfortable with visibility. This is the practical version, not the motivational one.

Who it's for

Professional services firms, founders and business owners, membership bodies, women's networks, and early-career professionals building a profile.

Audience takeaways

How to find the thing you are actually known for, rather than posting about everything
What to publish, how often, and what to do when it gets no engagement for the first six months
Handling visibility when your profession is conservative about it — including the regulatory and reputational lines

Format: 45 minute keynote, or 90 minute workshop where attendees leave with their own positioning statement and a content plan.

Brilliant live webinar with Jodie Hill today on Employment Risks, organised through the Law Society. Loved the case law deep dive and the practical guidance on worker/employee/self-employed status. Would recommend as a refresher for any In-House Counsel or People Team.
