A FEW CLIENTS:

We’re obsessed with action, not theory.

We know that what you do matters more than what you know. That’s why our workshops are designed to challenge your team to act immediately on what they learn.

Each of the interactive workshops listed below provide your team members with an action plan for unleashing their best work. Participants will leave understanding exactly how to implement a set of practices that make them more effective each day, help them collaborate better, and unleash their best ideas.

Workshops Topics:

Herding Tigers Workshop

Offered as: 1 or 2 day session

Doing the work and leading the work are very different things. When you make the transition from maker to manager, you give ownership of projects to your team even though you could do them yourself better and faster. You’re juggling expectations from your manager, who wants consistent, predictable output from an inherently unpredictable creative process. And you’re managing the pushback from your team of brilliant, headstrong, and possibly overqualified creatives.

Leading talented, creative people requires a unique skill set and mind set. In the Herding Tigers Workshop, we address the key things that separate brilliant leaders from average ones, and the critical things that every creative person needs from their organization in order to thrive.
