Empathetic Team Building

Two-hours dedicated to helping your team (max 6px at a time) get to know each other on a deeper level. Work culture can get toxic when people perceive each other in a competitive way and as a result a fear-based blame culture is created. This workshop is a way to prevent that from happening and also could help soften a team that already has tension. By the end of this workshop your team will connect past the small talk. This will be done through a vulnerability exercise, sharing and an eye-gazing* exercise.
