  • Mindset workshop about our ‘internal barriers’ to leadership and happiness (especially focusing on the ‘inner critic’).

    Workshop feedback:

    “10/10 value for time! I found the style of delivery really great and really liked all the suggestions for reframing the voice of the inner critic and the understanding around the purpose and aim of the inner critic. I’d recommend it for everyone, but especially for students, early career researchers and PhD student groups”

  • In-person, Virtual & International

    We can provide workshop & speaking services locally (Wellington), around Aotearoa New Zealand AND internationally. We’ve developed practices for facilitating engaging workshops whether they are held in person or online and pride ourselves in our ability to build connection in teams.

  • On-going Support

    Our workshops come with high value resources including guides for follow-up team discussion workshops so that the workshops aren’t a “one-off inspiring event” - they’re designed to be a conversation starter that comes with the follow-up piece!

Tailored to your needs

Your needs, challenges and opportunities are unique to you and your people. When it comes to people there ISN’T a “one size fits all”. We believe in a “one size fits ONE” approach to people development, wellbeing and culture development.

We pride ourselves on being able to understand, adapt and custom-fit our services and solutions to fit your needs. In fact, one of our most popular options for clients is co-creating a solution for them. We LOVE working with our clients to design a solution which helps them achieve their specific objectives.

 

How we may customise a solution:

  • design a solution completely from scratch or we can start with our proven IP to solve your business or teams’ specific needs

  • deliver a customised programme of surveys + workshops + implementation plan,

  • facilitate a training programme,

  • provide help with developing a wellbeing/people development strategy, or,

  • provide 5-10 hours of in-house help per month on retainer (e.g. our popular “wellbeing windows” - coaching, mentoring, advising & providing wellbeing support).

Let’s start with a discovery process to work out what you’re trying to achieve and let us craft a solution especially for you. The possibilities are endless!

We collate our results to provide a custom-designed Wellbeing Roadmap for your organisation and based on the outcomes you want to achieve.

 

04. The Delivery

We facilitate the custom designed workshop(s) and take care of everything from the workshop communications to the resource packs on the day based on the plan we've both agreed on.

05. The Follow up

After the workshop we conduct a follow-up survey to measure what's shifted and what hasn't and we present this information in a handy report.

06. Debrief & Integration

After all of this we don't leave you hanging - we have a debrief session to go over the post report insights and make sure you're clear on the integration phase and have everything you need to make it stick.
