Walt Disney

A Different Type of Team Event

There are currently 30+ titles to choose from, suitable for a range of purposes from team building to general explorations of leadership and the principles of success, to more targeted thinking about specific themes such as goal setting, emotional intelligence, risk management, decision making & many more.

For ease of reference, titles are loosely categorised into four distinct collections:
History , Natural World , Mindset & Festive .

Innovative Experiences for Teams

All events started out as online network events for a mixed audience of leaders, business owners, and managers from a broad range of different industries. Refined and updated, they are now available to corporate teams to commission directly, either in their original format, or as extended half, or full, day events incorporating bespoke organisational objectives. A fun, quirky, and surprisingly effective, alternative to conventional team building, leadership development and executive awaydays.

All titles can be delivered online, on site, or at a venue of your choice.

I've had the pleasure of participating in three of Karen's online seminars which have been fantastic. Karen takes a topic, sometimes based on history, sometimes on her own personal experience, and uses this as a powerful metaphor, encouraging participants to consider things from a different perspective and applying the learning to their work context. The seminars have been engaging and informative, and Karen is clearly passionate about the subjects of the seminars and the lessons we can learn today in our leadership roles.

I hired Karen to facilitate her event "Divorced, beheaded, died" (which is centred around the lives of Henry VIII`s 6 wives) for a group of managers in my organisation. The event was a total success thanks to Karen`s meticulous and thoughtful approach. The content of the session kept us all engaged throughout and afterwards there were comments about losing interest at various points of previous management-based team building events, whereas with Karen`s session that was not the case. Karen was particularly adept at bringing our focus back to the relationship between the content of the session and our own context. Karen offers a range of different themes for her events and I specifically chose this theme because I felt we needed a departure from our day-to-day contexts, but Karen struck the balance very well. I would 100% recommend Karen`s events to other corporate teams looking for an opportunity to reflect and learn about management in a thought provoking way.
