Passion Cafes

'Passion Cafe' series are a great opportunity to engage your team in an ongoing conversation around sustainability with a focus on what we can do - now and into the longer term.

The focus is positive.. what are we already doing well?..how can we improve the environmental and social outcomes of our work while maximising productivity?

Each café runs for 45-60mins with some stimulus material and facilitated dialogue.

..............

Passion Cafes are usually run monthly or bi-monthly. The themes of the cafes may be self-generated from the team or drawn from the menu of existing workshops.

Passion Cafes are inspired by the World Cafe movement www.theworldcafe.com

 

Team building, leadership & communication

The following workshops draw on David’s training in groupwork facilitation, communication, theatre improv, Buddhism and Deep Ecology. Add to this his life experience in corporate and community sectors and you have a rich foundation for participatory learning.

These workshops are designed to be hands-on and engaging for all. David provides stimulus material and interactive exercises that help to access the inherent wisdom of the participants. The workshops are a place to work, dialogue, reflect, experience and grow.

LEADERSHIP SKILLS IN ACTION
This workshop explores the personal skills necessary to build a foundation for strong leadership.
Personal Skills:
• self awareness
• presence
• deep listening

Interpersonal Skills:
• authentic communication
• working with diversity

We examine issues and opportunities particular to the participants and create action plans for moving forward.

TEAM BUILDING
Team-building activities are a great circuit-breaker and opportunity to see things from a new perspective. They can be conducted on or off site and draw from
• theatre games
• experiential tours
• multi-media experiences
• collaborative art

The intention is to have fun and experience the group outside of its normal operational mode. David designs a program that builds in the opportunity for learning that is relevant to the group. He also includes other collaborators as required.
