  • Do your (or your team’s) facilitation skills need a little oomph to make your workplace gatherings more powerful?

    In this immersive “learn-by-experiencing” training, discover a toolbox of techniques that will empower you to be a confident, impactful facilitator.

    Intended outcomes:

    • Learn a variety of impactful meeting facilitation strategies. 

    • Incorporate at least one transformative gathering strategy into future gatherings you facilitate. 

  • Rest is essential to show up as our full selves and yet tends to be deprioritized. This interactive workshop provides space to expand your understanding of rest and explore how to integrate more rest into your day-to-day.

    Intended outcomes:

    • Develop a more holistic understanding of rest. 

    • Take tangible, ongoing steps to nurture your inner rested leader. 

  • Have you ever wondered what your purpose in life is?

    Go on a journey of self-discovery, reflecting on a series of prompts to craft your unique one-sentence mission statement, then explore how to live into your purpose more fully.

    Intended outcomes:

    • Create a life purpose statement that reflects you and reflect on how to embody it more fully. 

    • Feel empowered to leverage life purpose as north star in decision-making, both professional and personal. 

  • Reflection is one of the most powerful tools we have. And is often the first thing to go when things get busy.

    ​In this interactive workshop, explore how reflection already shows up in your life, why it’s important, and how to make it sustainable through simple, repeatable rituals. You’ll map your current practices, imagine what’s possible with more intention, and design a new ritual for your day-to-day.

    Intended outcomes:

    • Identify and commit to one reflective ritual you’ll experiment with beyond the workshop.

  • Discover how creating space for post-event/program discussion to reflect on successes and lessons learned can pave the way for continuous improvement and innovation in this dynamic, participatory workshop.

    Intended outcomes:

    • Facilitate deeper understanding of potential debrief components

    • Inspire attendees to debrief more often and with more intention, ultimately resulting in increased organizational impact
