 Maximize Your Team

 

We know that allocating a budget to book a team building facilitator is a big ask for a small business. We assure you, weā€™re worth the investment.

Weā€™ve crafted training sessions and workshops infused with humour, movement and play, no matter how heavy the topic, because we believe that we all learn best when weā€™re having fun.

Whether you have a creative conundrum, need to motivate your staff to take on new challenges, or have a team that is struggling with burnout, our group sessions are guaranteed to inspire and inform, and most importantly produce results.

We’d be happy to develop customized training to meet your objectives, here are a few of our offerings to fuel your inspiration:

Power Play: It’s Time to Get Serious and Play:

Harness the power of play and maximize innovation. Scientists agree, play helps adults take risks, explore new roles, as well as increase creativity and connection. You know what they say, the team that plays together stays together.

Creative Brainstorming:

Sometimes accessing the most creative parts of our brains means shaking things up a little. Use play to create a safe container for exploring creative solutions, and dream and scheme new ideas.

Team  Building:

Come together, have some fun, build skills and cement the relational foundations that support your business

Fear Factor:

Whether it’s fear of change, conflict, risk taking or simply fear of failure, this unnerving emotion holds every organization back in some way.  Empower your team to face whatever has them running scared, and get back to business in a brave new way.

Fear Factor 2.0:

Made for teams struggling with a specific fear, this workshop will give your staff the tools they need to name it and tame it.  Whatever topic you need to tackle, we’ve got you covered.

Change is inevitable, but it's not always easy:

Equip your team to effectively manage change and take risks.

Change is good 2.0:

If there’s a big change on your organization’s horizon, reduce anxiety and get your team looking on the bright side with a workshop that will ease transitions big and small.

Burnout & Resilience:

Whether the stress originates at the office or at home, give your team the tools to build resilience and make a tough climb feel more manageable. Keep everyone engaged with proven strategies to help them navigate rocky terrain with ease.

Compassion Fatigue:

Working in a caring profession is incredibly rewarding, but can leave you emotionally exhausted, with no gas left in the tank for yourself. This workshop provides strategies to combat overwhelm, manage stress and give – without giving it all away. 

Next steps:

Start the next chapter with a plan. Whether it’s retirement, offboarding, or a departmental reorganization, make the transition less painful and the next step less daunting.

Team sessions are offered in half-day, full-day and multi-day packages depending on the size of your team and your budget. 

Want to make sure your team is using their new toolkit? We offer a follow-up session up within three months to check-in and make sure there are no lingering issues. 

Don’t see a package that fits your needs?
We’re happy to build the perfect program for your team.

One-on-One Entrepreneur Coaching


Our small business clients come to us for a million different reasons, but there seems to be something they all have in common – they know things aren’t working as well as they want them to, and they aren’t sure how to fix it.

Some entrepreneurs want to wrangle their self-saboteur once-and-for-all, others are overwhelmed by all of their great ideas and need help narrowing their vision and making a manageable action plan.

We love helping entrepreneurs build the business they’ve always wanted. Whatever you want to accomplish, we’re here to help you get there.
