Enthusiasm, frustration, curiosity – energy spreads, often unconsciously. Through explorative conversations and practices, we considered what it takes to be an “energy radiator” rather than an “energy vampire” in today’s working world. How do our emotions, the words we choose and our body language affect those around us? And how can leaders harness their influence with greater intention to create more of the impact they want to have?

The Ancient Greeks, Shakespeare, and neurologists all recognised conflict as cathartic and productive – yet many still avoid it or handle it badly. When conflict is feared, relationships and outcomes suffer. If conflict itself isn’t the problem, what is? To tackle this question, we used a dramatised encounter from the world of theatre to understand how shifting language, intention and emotional perspectives might result in alternative outcomes emerging.

In fast-moving workplaces, leadership can slip into autopilot: chasing outcomes, reacting to change, and playing expected roles. Yet every leader leaves a legacy through presence, decisions, and impact on others. What leadership story is already being written? What should it be remembered for? And how can that future vision shape how leadership shows up today? A personal reflective session, encouraging us all to take time to reflect on the impact we want to leave on the world as leaders.

How do leaders balance pressure and performance? How can leaders navigate the ‘ruthlessly caring’ paradox, making tough decisions and pushing for outcomes while remaining compassionate and personally connected? Through modern academic theoretical frameworks and a dilemma exercise, we explored the answer to the aforementioned questions.

What does it mean to be productive in today’s world? We looked beyond the metrics and to-do lists that control so much of our working lives by providing some suggested building blocks and practices that support a more evolved model of productivity. These included clarity, alignment and trust, effective habits and systems, and taking personal responsibility for well-being and energy brought to life through engaging exercises.

What do we mean by perspective? Why does perspective and its expansion matter? What shapes our perspective? Why is it hard to change our perspective? Through the power of debating practices and exercises, we challenged ourselves and each other to think, feel and act differently from how we usually would.

We explored the catalysing effect of asking powerful questions to help us foster critical thinking and innovation, navigate personal and organisational change with confidence, and transform challenges into opportunities. We defined what powerful questions are, provided a framework to guide us in creating questions that provoke transformation, and used the film Apollo 13 to help us practice!

When minds intersect, when disciplines collide, magic happens. Dynamic internal and external collaborative relationships are critical to delivering growth and success. We delved into the science of building powerful, empathetic, and strategic partnerships through our term of “The Producers Art”. From shared purpose to collective intelligence, we unlocked the power of building relationships that can transcend silos, spark creativity, and supercharge what you can achieve together.

What does Resilience mean to you? During this interactive workshop, we will reimagine and redefine what the ‘R Word’ means for leaders and organisations navigating uncertainty, and practice exercises to better equip us to lead in 2024.

Finite games have clear rules, well-defined beginnings and endings, and clear winners and losers. Infinite games have fuzzy rules, no clearly defined “winner” and the players can change the way they play anytime. We explored some tools and tricks to help us play in The Infinite Game of Being Human, applicable to all parts of our lives.

“A lack of success” or “an unwanted outcome” are dictionary definitions, but what if we flip failure on its head? We know failure is the surest route to ultimate success, innovation, learning, growth and breakthroughs. We deep dived into some practices and habits that can help us get more comfortable with failure, to welcome it and even move towards it!

What is collaboration, and what is it not? What’s the difference between cooperation and collaboration? When should we collaborate and when should we cooperate? These are some of the questions we explored in our session The Art of Collaboration with some engaging activities using stacking cups!

We brought to life some tools and tricks to help improve your storytelling techniques which can be applied to your every day, from crafting better stories to making messages land, and importantly, stick – we explored it all!

In a world increasing dominated by technology, apps and screens, and a pace of life that is faster and more demanding of our time and attention, how can we remain present and connected to others around us? Through some reflective and energising activities we discovered how challenging active listening can really be.

To kick us back into our live series of Being Human events, we took some time to ‘slow down to speed up’ and remind ourselves what it means to be human in a world where we connect with people more through phones than we do face to face.

Microsoft published a report in 2021 saying that productivity has increased with more meetings, emails and Teams messages being witnessed than ever before, but is this a good thing? We explored the pillars of organisational habits that entities need to develop in order to flex and stretch their creative muscles.

With special guest Miranda Wayland, Creative Director at BBC, we discussed what it takes to be an inclusive leader in a challenging novel and hybrid working environment.

With the pandemic and lockdowns showing signs up easing up, we explored the value and importance of bringing colleagues, teams and organisations back together to strengthen relationships, engage workforces and drive performance.

In this virtual exploration of Collaboration, we broke down the practice of Collaboration into three parts; the Collaborative Conversation, the Collaborative Project and the Collaborative Culture.

Children are experts at this, but why does our capacity to play generally deteriorate the older we get? We explored the attitudes and mindsets of play, and how to introduce more play into our daily lives, to encourage us to do things for fun rather than for a result!

We hosted a conversation with special guests from around the world to hear about their organisational wellness initiatives to promote working environments where people can be vulnerable and safe.

Humour is that almost magical elixir that can break the ice, cut through tension and powerfully connect us with others. With wonderful guests, Neil Mullarkey, Paul Boross and Francis Gilsen, we explored what humour is, what happens in the brain when we laugh, some practical tips for using humour and how to avoid it all going horribly wrong!

We explored the well-being and burnout challenges that companies were experiencing following the outbreak of COVID-19. How was remote working affecting the well-being of our employees? What are the long-term implications of stress? And what we can do we to mitigate stress?

Across the summer of 2020 we explored, in a series of virtual practices, our nine characteristics of resilience. We provided audiences with playful habits, rituals, and exercises to strengthen these characteristics to help individuals and teams cope with the current working environment.
