Workshops That Actually Shift How Teams Work
All rooted in science, shaped by play, & delivered with deep respect for how adults learn, work, & grow.
To determine which workshop is right for your team (or co-create a bespoke option!)
Permission to Play: Motivation, Resilience, and the Science of Joyful Work
Description:
Let’s be real—burnout isn’t solved with beanbags or forced fun. This session breaks down what play really means (hint: it’s not games) and why it’s essential for adult learning, motivation, and adaptive performance. We’ll look at the nine characteristics of play, explore its neurological impact, and invite participants to discover what playful work can look like for them.
Learning Outcomes:
Define play through a science-based lens, beyond recreation
Recognize how intrinsic motivation is built through play
Identify personal and organizational barriers to play
Learn to reframe tasks and challenges through playfulness to boost resilience and well-being
The Failure Advantage: Turning Mistakes Into Momentum
Description:
Failure sucks. But it also sparks. In this workshop, we’ll reframe how teams and leaders approach failure—not as shame or setback, but as an essential ingredient for growth, creativity, and learning. Through story, science, and strategy, we’ll explore what really happens in the brain during failure, and how to build cultures where people feel safe enough to take risks that lead to real breakthroughs.
Learning Outcomes:
Reframe failure as a learning tool rather than a performance flaw
Understand the connection between psychological safety and innovation
Build individual and team-level strategies for debriefing and moving forward after setbacks
Practice tools that support resilience and experimentation
The Power of Flow: Cultivating Peak Performance and Presence
Description:
Flow isn't woo-woo—it’s brain science. This workshop explores the four-phase flow cycle (Struggle, Release, Flow, Recovery) and teaches teams how to actually access that elusive state where productivity, creativity, and satisfaction skyrocket. We’ll mix neuroscience with real-life application so participants leave knowing how to shift out of burnout and into momentum.
Learning Outcomes:
Identify the four stages of the flow cycle and their neurological impact
Apply techniques to reduce friction and increase focus
Understand individual flow triggers and barriers
Practice small, playful habits that lead to sustained flow and motivation
The Playful Team: Leveraging Personal Play Identities for Collaboration and Energy
Description:
No more one-size-fits-all team-building. This workshop introduces participants to the four Personal Play Identities (Relational, Lighthearted, Intellectual, Whimsical) and how they shape communication, motivation, and collaboration. Teams learn to recognize and celebrate different styles of play, leading to deeper trust, better dynamics, and more energized interactions.
Learning Outcomes:
Identify your own Personal Play Identity and how it shows up at work
Understand your teammates’ identities and how to better support them
Explore play as a social-emotional intelligence tool
Build a team agreement around energizers, communication styles, and play preferences
FlowPrint: Making the Invisible Visible at Work
Description:
This facilitated session turns the FlowPrint workbook into a living team tool. Not a personality test, not a performance review—FlowPrint is a playful, respectful way to explore how each person works best. Through guided reflection and intentional conversation, teams discover their individual rhythms, feedback styles, reset strategies, and quirks that help (or hurt) collaboration. It’s how we turn assumptions into understanding, and tension into trust.
Learning Outcomes:
Complete a personalized FlowPrint that captures workstyle, energy rhythms, and reset needs
Share and swap FlowPrints to build mutual understanding across the team
Identify team-level patterns that impact communication and collaboration
Develop working agreements based on shared needs, not just roles
Culture to Community: Designing Environments Where People Actually Want to Work
Description:
Culture is not pizza on Fridays—it’s how people treat each other on the hardest day of the week. This workshop guides leaders and teams through the IGN!TE pillars (Inclusive Culture, Flexible Environment, Mission-Driven Work, Psychologically Safe Teams), showing how play acts as the lightning bolt that activates each. We’ll bridge the gap between values and lived experience to move from performative culture to authentic community.
Learning Outcomes:
Diagnose current culture gaps using the IGN!TE framework
Learn actionable practices for each cultural pillar
Understand how play builds trust, flexibility, and purpose in teams
Develop a culture experiment to prototype a small, meaningful shift
