Balance Act: Mental Wellness
Balance Act: Mental Wellness
Balance Act: Mental Wellness
In our busy lives we all occasionally feel out of balance. At times, some of us might even feel that we are on the edge of losing control. The idea of obtaining emotional balance is not simply about getting rid of negative emotions, but instead learning how to experience them, cope with them and keep them moderated. This series includes a variety of workshops focusing on time management, stress management, resilience and Emotional Intelligence (EQ).
Emotional IntelligenceEmotional Intelligence describes an ability, capacity, or skill to perceive, assess, and manage the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups. Emotional Intelligence is at the heart of self-leadership and good relationships, which are essential within any organization. Employees who can manage their own emotions and respond to the emotions of others make better decisions, get the job done more effectively and build relationships with internal or external clients. Our Emotional Intelligence workshop equips employees and new managers with the ability to emotionally manage themselves, their peers and sub-ordinates.
Time ManagementTime Craft was designed to allow participants to learn to better manage their time. These skills, modeled after highly successful people who juggle multiple demands and constantly changing priorities, is taught using a combination of hands on situational learning, structured experiences and actual supervised planning sessions. Participants will learn to firstly, manage their time better, and subsequently, make time work for them.
Stress ManagementIn this workshop, participants will discover their individual stress styles and patterns, their energizers and triggers, as well as explore and learn stress busters best suited for their stress patterns. This individualized formula has been the bedrock of our successful stress management series.
ResilienceResilience is about our ability to weather the storms that life throws at us. In this module, we will look at the factors that contribute to resilience and how we can leverage on these factors. Participants will learn how they can change their thinking patterns as well as the strategies they can use to be more resilient and overcome any challenges they face.
Design Thinking
Design Thinking
Design Thinking
In the simplest terms, Design Thinking is “a formal method for practical, creative resolution of problems or issues, with the intent of an improved future result.” It’s a methodology for actualizing concepts and ideas.
Design Thinking attempts to inspire the essential element of creativity, the ability to take an abstract idea and create something with it. It’s based upon the fundamental belief that an unexecuted idea, one that is never realized, is a worthless proposition and that doing is equally as valuable as thinking.
The Design Thinking process first defines the problem and then implements the solutions, always with the needs of the user demographic at the core of concept development. This process focuses on needs finding, understanding, creating, thinking, and doing. At the core of this process is a bias towards action and creation: by creating and testing something, people can continue to learn and improve upon their initial ideas.
High Performing Leader
High Performing Leader
High Performing Leader
The main determinant of an employees’ levels of engagement at work is their manager. Research consistently shows that managers can account for at least 70% of their employees’ engagement. And because engagement directly drives team profitability, productivity, and retention, improving an organization’s performance depends on managers who can positively affect the engagement of every team member.
The High Performing Leader program teaches leaders and managers how to integrate the strategies and principles of the world’s greatest leaders into their own management style. By integrating these approaches into their own unique style, leaders can increase their effectiveness by enhancing each team member’s engagement to deliver high-performance outcomes from their team.
The course will provide leaders and managers with the tools, techniques, and practical experience they need to help them more confidently and effectively manage their daily responsibilities.

Psychometric Profiling
Psychometric Profiling
Psychometric Profiling
Personality profiling is based on the idea that each of us has a particular set of gifts, a set of mental tools that we have become comfortable using and thus reach for in the everyday business of living. Although we all have access to the same basic tools in our psychological toolbox, we are often more comfortable with some tools over others. It is our unique set of preferences that makes us appear similar or dissimilar to others.
Profiling allows individuals to become more aware of themselves, their reactions in the process of living every day as well as the reactions of those around them. It also provides organizations with a better understanding of itself and allows for development of frameworks and foundations for individual/ departmental/ organizational development in many areas including leadership, working and learning styles, team dynamics, emotional intelligence, stress management and overall personal development.
Our team is proficient in administering and interpreting the following instruments:
- Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
- DiSC
- Emergenetics

Teambuilding
Teambuilding
Teambuilding
Fostering teamwork is creating a work culture that values collaboration. In a teamwork environment, people understand and believe that thinking, planning, decisions and actions are better when done cooperatively. People recognize, and even assimilate, the belief that “none of us is as good as all of us.”
Our programs allow each participant to personally experience what being a team means, rather than simply being part of a team. We use structured experiences to teach participants not just experientially and entertainingly, but also to their fullest learning capacity.
We don’t just build teams, we inspire them.

Value Innovation: Blue Ocean Strategy
Value Innovation: Blue Ocean Strategy
Value Innovation: Blue Ocean Strategy
Drawing from the latest Blue Ocean Strategy paradigm, this workshop is useful in helping organizations and individuals conceptualize and create break-through ideas, plans and formulas to make the competition irrelevant. The cornerstone of Blue Ocean Strategy is 'Value Innovation'. A blue ocean is created when a company achieves value innovation that creates value simultaneously for both the buyer and the company. The innovation (in terms of product, service, or delivery) must raise and create value for the market, while simultaneously reducing or eliminating features or services that are less valued by the current or future market.
Pioneered by Kim & Mauborgne (Harvard Business School), Blue Ocean Strategy imagines a market universe composed of two sorts of oceans- red oceans and blue oceans. In the red oceans, industry boundaries are defined and accepted, and the competitive rules of the game are known. Here companies try to outperform their rivals to grab a greater share of existing demand. Blue oceans, in contrast, are defined by untapped market space, demand creation, and the opportunity for highly profitable growth. In blue oceans, competition is irrelevant as the rules of the game are waiting to be set.
“The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than ourselves.”
