We aim to catalyse change through the design and delivery of facilitated workshops that are customised according to the needs of each client. Our areas of impact include employee engagement, communication and relationships, team performance, employee wellness, leadership development and organisational values and culture.
Our workshop content draws from five key themes making up the Appletree Now! series. Download a complete overview of our NOW! series here.
Our style is less of a transactional (left brain) approach and more of a transformational (whole brain) one. We first challenge existing patterns of thinking, feeling and doing to create the space for individuals to recognise and action new possibilities that are relevant to them and the context in which they operate.
What differentiates us in how we work:
- We ask appropriate challenging questions.
- We share thought provoking insights and models (our own and those of others).
- We connect by sharing our own personal experiences and stories.
- We observe patterns in behaviour and offer objective feedback.
- We create space for people to have transformational conversations with each other.
- We learn through activities and games.
- We use relevant audio visuals to reinforce learnings.
- We create opportunities for people to slow down and do some introspection.
- We use video role plays to give people feedback on how they are communicating.
Outcomes
