Workshops | Off Sites | Retreats
Our services are always custom. Never cookie-cutter.
The best part is they won’t bore your eyes out.
Catalyze Connection
Sometimes you need to shake things up to solve a problem or inject more excitement into work. Maybe the team feels disconnected, or you want to clarify your organization’s vision.
These short workshops are like a team-building “jolt” to connect and spark new ways of thinking.
Whether it’s a half day or 2 full days, we create space for your people to have fun, build stronger connections, and get aligned on the stuff that matters most.
Design the Future
Longer workshop series are for when you know what you need to do, but you’re looking for an engaging way to make it happen quickly.
Psst! Thinkin’ about long-term support?
After your initial engagement, we can provide ongoing coaching and advising as you continue being awesome. Test processes, implement the good stuff, and gain traction fast.

“Can you work with my situation?” Probably!
What kind of problems do you help teams solve?
- Culture misalignment – e.g., You want to embrace a different kind of culture, or people aren’t on the same page about the current one
- Strategy stuckness – e.g., You’re not sure what steps you need to take next to reach your strategic goals
- Performance concerns – e.g., Employees are lacking ownership in their work or they’re often disengaged
- Adapting to changes – e.g., You have a new mandate, a renewed vision, or a new group of people joining the organization
- Unclear direction – e.g., You feel like the team is aimlessly wandering—not working towards a clear, meaningful objective
I want to help multiple teams in the organization. How does that work?
Our services are super scalable! Whether you want to reach 10 or 10,000 people, we adapt. We can run your workshop multiple times with different groups or do “big room” workshops with a hundred people at once. This is a powerful way to improve team cohesion across departments.
We’re already planning a retreat/event, but we want to bring in a facilitator for a portion of it.
Great! We can design an engagement that fits into whatever event or retreat you’re working on. Just tell us the parameters and goals, and we’ll make it happen.
My team is remote. Do you offer virtual services?
Heck yes! We’re Zoom, Miro, and Butter virtuosos. You name it, we’ve used it. We embrace the same playful, creative, and engaging strategies we do in person.Great! We can design an engagement that fits into whatever event or retreat you’re working on. Just tell us the parameters and goals, and we’ll make it happen.
My team is in [*insert your location*]. Can you do an in-person engagement there?
Most likely! We’re based in Toronto and can travel anywhere. Ask us about your specific travel logistics.
We might want ongoing support to help us implement our takeaways.
Excellent. We have long-term relationships with many of our clients. Ask us about sustained support to activate, coach, and advise you after your initial engagement.
Why us?
Your company might be telling you to go with the Big 5 Consultancy, but here’s why you should listen to your gut.
- Custom, not copy and paste
No need to snooze through a canned presentation. We pay attention to what’s important to you, your people, and your organization. Your engagement is customized and co-created with your team, not repurposed from our last client.
- Based in evidence and emotions
Success takes a special blend of heart and mind. We don’t just crunch numbers and review stats. We also don’t just bring everyone in for a group hug and call it a day. We’re driven by human principles and rely on data to provide strategic guidance.
- Room to play
You won’t be daydreaming about your sandwich in the fridge, wondering how much the day is costing your business. We want people saying, “I wish I was in THAT session!” when they walk by.
Work is mostly serious. But it can also be seriously fun.
We use a variety of creative, playful techniques to encourage connection.
- LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®
Help everyone to participate, let loose, and problem-solve together
- Music
Depending on the task, music helps welcome people into the experience, adds energy, or promotes focus. Sometimes we have dance breaks.
- Giving everyone a voice
Teams are made up of introverts, extroverts, and everyone in between! The loudest voices shouldn’t always dominate. We structure engagements to make sure everyone is comfortable and part of the conversation.
