Team Building Fun

Working with culture change can be tricky business.

Humour and play help to break down barriers and open people's minds to new opportunities.

David combines play, theatre-impro tools and facilitated groupwork to help build rapport and create a safe ambience for a deeper understanding into what is really going on in our work teams.

.David's toolkit includes:

Theatre improvisation games
Movement Improvisation
Groupwork facilitation
Role play

Deep Ecology processes
Experiential Leadership games

This work can compliment an existing program or stand-alone as a learnign tool. David co-creates a design framework with you, based on your needs.

Deep Leadership

This workshop explores the personal skills necessary to build a foundation for strong leadership.
• self awareness
• presence
• deep listening

Plus the interpersonal Skills of
• authentic communication
• working with difficult people

We examine issues and opportunities particular to the participants and create action plans for moving forward.


	Customised training David can customise interactive training workshops that incorporate a degree of lightness and play to help increase engagement levels while delivering on learning needs.

Team Building

Team-building activities are a great circuit-breaker and opportunity to see things from a new perspective, while having fun as a group.

David creates a strcuture and then improvises as required to meet the needs of the team on the day.


	'Getting Real' check-ins These are facilitated spaces where people are invited to speak to the often unspoken dynamics that they perceive to be getting in the way of a higher functioning work team. David provides a space where participants determine the safe boundaries to ensure respect, honesty and confidentiality. The aim is to air issues, listen deeply and respond authentically. This is typically a short series of fortnightly/monthly sessions as required.

Participatory Variety nights

Remember the school camp concert?
.. or prefer not to?

Well we're grown up now and it's turned into a fun talk show/cabaret with crowd-sourced entertainment. David works with you beforehand to help your groups to prepare a skit of theatre, story-telling or comedy. He then MC's a fun night that will become folklore for your team. Ideal for the end of a retreat or conference.
