That’s the average amount of time a person will spend at work in their lifetime.
The only thing we spend more time doing is sleeping. If we want to improve the quality of our lives we should seek to improve the quality of these hours. Research shows that the most effective way to do this is to deepen the relationships with the people we works with.
Our Team Development workshops are designed with this purpose in mind.
We create space for teams to explore how to bring their fullest, most creative selves into the work they do.
Our Team Development workshops generally fall into three categories:
The difference between a “team” and “a group of people who work together” is trust. The purpose of these workshops is to create space for people to get to know each other on a deeper level - identifying and sharing personal values, passions, talents and what brings each individual sense of purpose in the work they do. These are the conversations that are often neglected in the busyness of the day-to-day work.
These workshops provide a space for reflection and feedback, enabling your team to have a deep, meaningful conversation about their ways of working. Whether it’s reflecting on your team’s goals, creating a teaming agreement, or perhaps discussing the diverse working styles in the team, the purpose is to create alignment, focus and re-engage people on the purpose of their work.
Enjoyment is one of the most over-looked aspects of high-performance. When people enjoy their work, they are able to bring their fullest, most creative selves into the work they do. These workshops focus on the core characteristics of joyfulness (presence, purpose, possibility, playfulness and peacefulness) applied within the unique context of your team’s work.

Kristin facilitated a teaming session for my team. I was very impressed with how much effort she put into to getting to know my org and the outcomes I wanted in preparation. She was able to build trust quickly with the team and had them very engaged throughout the session. She also customised things to suit the group and was very quick at thinking on her feet so she could pivot easily where required.

I had the pleasure of working with Kristin, who recently facilitated a team-development workshop with my newly formed team. Her passion, empathy, and skill in facilitation were evident throughout. The session allowed us to share pivotal life moments, fostering a deeper interpersonal connection that has brought us closer together as a team. Kristin’s approach demonstrated how empathy can be practically applied in a team environment.

Through her thoughtful approach, Kristin helped my team members get to know one another on a deeper level, breaking down barriers and fostering trust in a virtual environment. The results were remarkable: increased collaboration, enhanced trust, and ultimately, a noticeable boost in productivity. Kristin’s ability to tailor her strategies to the unique needs of a remote sales team was exceptional. If you’re looking to build stronger, more cohesive teams, especially in a remote setting, I wholeheartedly recommend Kristin. She has a rare talent for bringing people together and creating an environment where everyone can thrive.

Kristin's joy workshop was such a wonderful way to detach from the usual work day and focus on what's really important. The first time I looked at the time was 5 minutes before the end! She gave us so much to think about, and really challenged the defined ways to deal with stress. The team were so engaged, despite it being a virtual session. This workshop left us all a little more conscious of what really makes us feel alive!
