Team Events Worth
the time away from home
I create playfully disruptive live events that drive belonging, fulfillment and real company growth.
In person company events are costly and mostly don't deliver. It can feel like it's an "either/or" choice between 'fun team building' with no measurable change, or a dry top-down session that drains and disempowers..
Not anymore.
Let’s partner to create a gathering that includes, engages, and unleashes the natural creativity and innovation of everyone on your team.
What Makes My Approach Different
Somatic Coaching
Business is fast, trust moves slow. With my background in embodiment, I create a trustable and courageous group dynamic where people can take risks. Then we mix things up to keep everyone energized, alert, and fully present.
Play-Based Engagement
I spent over a decade as an international swing dancer, emcee and event designer. Another ten years as a play-based leadership coach. What does this have to do with facilitation?.. every detail matters and everyone should be on the edge of their seat.
Human-Centered Facilitation
During a Collective Genius Event, your team members are the engines of innovation. It’s about creating together. Not talking.. or worse being ‘talked at.’ Fresh facilitation practices leverage every unique talent in the room to be greater than the sum of their parts.
How we create your ‘Best Event in Years’
DREAM
Set your north star vision for your company event; what’s possible and what’s at stake.
DESIGN
Unlock individual genius by redesigning your event; get the right people, doing the right things at the right time.
DELIVER
Use facilitative secret sauce to unleash the creative force of collective genius.
What our clients are saying
Julianne
CIO, Legrand
“During our 2-day Data Summit, James was able to masterfully engage leaders across the entire company as we grappled with a truly sticky challenge. The processes and flow of activities kept more than 50 leaders actively invested in the outcome. Not only were we able to present a plan of action to our CEO upon completion, but folks left the room invested in the solution they helped co-create.”
Janet
Exec VP HR, Athens
“James rocked it with my management team. The emails, calls, zoom chats are flooding in expressing gratitude for the amazing event. Facilitation was on point, reading the room constantly and keeping everyone included. Thank you for adapting and constantly bringing different techniques to keep our leaders engaged throughout. I look forward to partnering again.”
Todd
HPC Director, Panasonic
“Watching James lead our team of culture coaches was magic. He is able to weave team-building, training and collaborative solutioning into a seamless experience. Through his events, we reset our internal culture, got the team on the same page, and up-leveled our skills.”
