One 2.5-hour workshop per month. No long-term tie-in. One month's notice to leave.
I make my biggest decisions alone - and I second-guess all of them.
Founders and leaders without peer challenge tend to stay stuck longer than they need to.
I go to networking events but leave with nothing I can actually use.
Most groups talk. The Growth Room works - every session ends with a concrete plan.
I know what I need to do. I just can't seem to do it fast enough.
Accountability to a room of peers who know your goals changes that equation entirely.
I don't need more advice. I need to think it through with the right people.
That's exactly what The Growth Room is designed to give you.
What is The Growth Room
The Growth Room is a monthly 2.5-hour group coaching workshop facilitated by Daryl Woodhouse. Each session is built around a specific, high-impact growth challenge - the kind of issue that keeps founders and leaders up at night.
It's not a talking shop. It's not generic business advice. It's a structured, high-energy session where you come in with a challenge and leave with a clear plan of action - and the support of a room of peers who are holding you accountable to it.
The size is deliberately kept small. Every person in the room is there to grow, not to network. You'll hear things that challenge your thinking, unlock new perspective, and accelerate your decisions in ways that working alone never can.
Facilitated by someone who has built and scaled a business, led large teams, and coached founders and leaders at every stage of growth. The insight in the room is real - because it comes from real experience.
What happens each session
Two hours. One theme. Real work. Here's how each Growth Room session runs:
Each member shares one thing they're working through right now. Immediate perspective, instant accountability. What you say here shapes the conversation ahead.
The core of every workshop - expert facilitation around a specific growth challenge. Strategy, leadership, scaling, people, performance, decision-making. Structured, fast-paced, and built around your real situations.
Open floor. Bring your live challenge to the room. Unfiltered, honest input from people who get it - combined with Daryl's challenge and coaching lens. The most valuable 20 minutes of your month.
You leave with one clear, specific commitment. Not a vague intention - a decision. The room holds you to it next month. That's the accountability loop that makes this work.
Why it works
Most peer groups are well-intentioned but unfacilitated. Most coaching is 1:1 and expensive. The Growth Room combines the best of both - and avoids the pitfalls of each.
Every session is led by Daryl - not handed over to the group to meander. That means structure, challenge, and genuine insight at every point. You get the benefit of the room AND the benefit of a coach who's been where you are.
You make a commitment in front of the room. Next session, you report back. That's not pressure - it's the structure that separates people who intend to change from people who actually do. The peer dynamic makes it real in a way that a diary never can.
The founders and leaders in this room are not your competitors. They're your thinking partners. The problems they've solved, the patterns they've spotted - that collective intelligence is something you simply cannot replicate alone, no matter how good you are.
Motivation fades. Monthly sessions with the same committed group build compounding momentum. Each month builds on the last. Your challenges evolve, your thinking sharpens, and the room grows with you.
Who The Growth Room is for
The Growth Room runs two parallel tracks - one for founders and entrepreneurs, one for senior leaders and executives. Same format, same rigour, different lens. You choose which room fits your world.

What people say
Daryl creates an environment where you feel safe to be honest about where you actually are - not where you wish you were. That honesty is where the breakthroughs happen.
I've been to plenty of peer groups that dissolve into chat. This is different. Daryl keeps it focused and challenges you in a way that makes you think differently about your business.
The accountability piece is what sets it apart for me. Knowing I have to report back to the room means I actually follow through. It sounds simple. It's remarkably effective.

Common questions
The Growth Room costs £375 per month (standard rate) or £175 per month for members enrolled in a 1:1 programme with Daryl. There are no long-term contracts — one month's notice to cancel. No setup fees, no hidden costs.
The Growth Room meets once per month. Each session runs for 2.5 hours, conducted online by video call. No travel required — you join from wherever you are. Sessions are structured, not open-ended: there's a clear agenda, a defined theme, and a specific output for every session.
Limited to 12 members. This is a firm cap — small enough for genuine peer challenge and real conversation, large enough to bring meaningful breadth of experience into the room. Places are reviewed monthly and there is usually a waiting list for new members.
Topics rotate across strategy, leadership, team performance, commercial growth, resilience, systems, burnout prevention and exit planning. Daryl designs each session around a specific challenge — and members vote on what they most need in a given month. No two sessions are the same.
The Growth Room is expert-facilitated, not peer-led. Every session is designed and run by Daryl Woodhouse — not a rotating chair or an open forum. There are no pitches, no introductions round the table, no loose conversation. It's a structured group coaching session, not a networking event. You leave with a specific action plan, not just connections.
