Space to think more deeply and creatively about the relationship challenges in your work life.

Who People Stuff is for

You already have enough models and tools.. You don’t want another certified process or simplified solution..

You want something more personal: to be met, where you are, with real care and attention. To explore your challenges from a deeper understanding. 


What we do

We provide time away from the urgency. To experiment with different ways of showing up and responding. 

​Our work is about spaciousness, presence and clarity. We help rushed people to slow down, to see and connect differently. It’s an alternative to the fragmented, individualistic thinking much of modern life generates.

We are long on enriching experiences, and short on teaching and advice. 

Made for you

We'll build a retreat for you, with care and creativity. For example, if you choose Cambridge as a location, we'll make use of the city as a workspace and source of inspiration. We'll set up a home base but also plan walks and breaks that take advantage of what Cambridge uniquely has to offer.

About us 

People Stuff is offered by Johnnie Moore, Katie Elliott, Mark McCartney and Rob Poynton. We work in different combinations according to location and your specific requirements.

Between us, we have many decades of facilitation experience with a huge range of groups. We really like people - and each other.

Here’s a snapshot of our individual experience and our personal websites. If you’d like to know more about People Stuff, please feel free to contact any of us directly, or send a message via the Get in touch page on this site.

Katie set up the Little Challenges project to explore the ‘messy’ business of being human. Within that, she hosts the Adventures in Behaviour Change podcast and regular online conversations and events. Earlier in her career, she was a jazz musician, and still loves nothing better than creating spaces for people to listen, create and have fun together. 


"Katie has a wonderful way of listening, allowing people to be heard and enabling people to hear themselves. She creates a space to be open and asks the right questions to help people establish clarity around what matters most for them."

- Ian Laird, CEO
