Working with a group of highly diverse people…
what could possibly go wrong?
what could possibly go wrong?
Even a small amount of time spent at a learning institution imparts an essential truth: group work is hard. Add in time sensitivities, complex issues to solve, scrutiny from senior management or other departments or external parties, lots of stakeholders or team members, not to mention the reality of your life outside of work playing out in the background, and things can get a whole lot harder.
How do we help everyone in the team get what they need, in order to get where they need to go?
Sam works with Teams to help them understand each other, and how they can achieve the team’s goals together while doing their best work.

DECISION TO DONE
Setting up your transformation project for success
Major organisational change projects are inevitably complex, impacting a wide range of people across multiple functions. If they are not setup well from the beginning, or if they are not implemented in a way that keeps employees engaged and feeling psychologically safe, then negative and far-reaching consequences are likely. You may see project delays, budget blow outs, and a significant reduction in productivity, work quality and employee attrition. These issues will inevitably have flow on impacts to your customers and suppliers.
Decision to Done is a 6-month workshop and mentoring program, that equips your leaders with the knowledge, skills and scaffolding required to ensure your transformation project is a success.
OUTCOMES
On completion of the program, participants will have:
- The confidence and ability to make sound decisions that can stand up to scrutiny;
- The knowledge and skills to positively impact their team and others, in relation to organisational change; and
- The ability to successfully implement changes as part of a wider organisational transformation project.
PERFECT FOR
This is perfect for teams who are going through a major organisational change project.
EMBRACE THE UNKNOWN
How teams can learn to thrive in the face of ambiguity
We know that the world, and our experiences of work, have been changing rapidly for some time now. What may be less obvious is how ill-equipped most human beings are to tolerate uncertainty, and the impact it has on them. When asked to work in contexts which do contain ambiguity (such as organisations going through organisational change) then, over time, we will typically see a decrease in productivity, employees struggling to perform their roles well, overwhelm, and burnout.
Developing tolerance of ambiguity skills helps build the resilience, flexibility, and mental agility required to handle constant change effectively.
Embrace the Unknown is a 1 day workshop that uses a purpose-built board game experience to help your team understand their individual and collective approach toward navigating ambiguity, and then gives them an opportunity to practice the skills that can increase their tolerance toward ambiguity.
Optional add-ons to this program can include:
- Providing regular videos on how to continually develop skills in ambiguity tolerance;
- Group coaching sessions for the team;
- 90 min individual debriefs on the results of the diagnostic; and
- A reloaded workshop at the end of the 12 months where the team retakes the assessment to see how they’ve evolved over that period.
OUTCOMES
Participants will gain:
- An understanding of their own ambiguity tolerance across 9 different factors and 3 different dimensions;
- An understanding of the Team’s profile, and the strengths and weaknesses of the team as a collective; and
- A fun team experience, and opportunity to practice their new learnings about ambiguity tolerance.
PERFECT FOR
Embrace the Unknown is perfect for any team at any level, which is wanting to improve their performance and experience of work, through increasing their tolerance of ambiguity.
