Featured Workshop
COMS Communication Styles
COMS Communication Styles draws inspiration from Paul Costa and Robert McCrae’s research on the Big Five Personality Model, introducing how different personality styles prefer to communicate along the spectrums of result-driven vs. interpersonal and reflective vs. assertive.
COMS is an interactive communication styles exploration. Through answering 8 strategically designed questions, you and your team will gain valuable insights into how individuals tend to communicate and interact. By visualising this into a simple but effective grid and delivering an interactive workshop, it can be instrumental in improving team dynamics, reducing conflict, and fostering more effective communication across the organization. Each of the four identified style has its strengths in different contexts. Your team will leave the session knowing with a deeper understanding and appreciation for diverse communication styles as well as how to leverage each approach and adapt their style to maximize impact and drive positive outcomes.
Strategic Planning
This isn’t just another corporate exercise – it’s a chance for you to engage your team in the planning and execution of the organization and an opportunity to align on strategic planning initiatives and actions.
As strategic planning facilitators, we guide organizations through the strategic planning process. We don’t dictate solutions to you, we enable your groups to co-create strategies based knowledge, experience and diversity. We create an environment conducive to open dialogue, innovation, critical thinking, and collaborative decision-making. This role is distinct in that it focuses on empowering your organization rather than imposing external ideas. Our award-winning facilitators are catalysts for transformative decision-making and planning. We do, however, offer guidance and insight into how other organizations operate and offer suggestions you may wish to implement. To us, strategic planning is more than just a single planning session. We work with our clients to help them navigate the strategic plan throughout the months and even years ahead. With our objective lens, we are well-positioned to offer insights into the strategic plan and execution tactics.

Sessions often include values clarification, visioning, and decision-making around key initiatives. Our role is to support progress and encourage full participation without steering outcomes.
What makes facilitation different from training or consulting?

The goal is to unlock clarity and commitment already within the group. This approach helps build buy-in and momentum.
Can facilitation support organizations going through change?
Yes, facilitation is especially useful during periods of leadership transition, restructuring, or cultural change. We help surface questions, clarify roles, and build shared understanding. Sessions can also include tools to improve communication or navigate disagreement constructively. The process gives your team space to reflect, reset, and move forward together.
How far in advance should we book a session?
We recommend reaching out at least four to six weeks in advance for planning purposes. This gives time for discovery, session design, and logistics. For multi-day retreats or complex projects, more lead time may be needed. We’ll always do our best to accommodate urgent requests if possible.
What outcomes can we expect from a well-facilitated session?
You can expect clearer alignment on goals, better understanding between team members, and practical next steps. Participants often report greater confidence in moving forward together. Facilitation also strengthens collaboration and decision-making capacity. Each outcome depends on the clarity of your objectives and the quality of participation.

Yes, many of our clients continue with us after the first session. We offer quarterly check-ins, progress facilitation, and support for implementation. Ongoing engagement helps teams stay accountable and navigate challenges that arise. Whether you’re refining a strategy or evolving culture, we’re here to help you maintain traction.
