Overview
Leadership team and team offsites can lift team connection and engagement, whilst helping groups achieve outcomes when they come together every few months.
Using highly engaging posters full of colour, Sam's offsites bring energy, authenticity and inclusion to an offsite. No powerpoints, more fun, more learning through doing rather than learning through being talked at. Activities and games are at the core of the workshop design and delivery.
Our custom workshops will be co-designed with you to ensure participants are engaged, listened to and that the outcomes are achieved.
What types of workshops and offsites?
- Most offsites are usually in person (but can be done virtually) at the client's site, and can range from a half day to two days. Recent successful workshops completed include :

What else do you need to know?
Some other things to consider
- Plan ahead to ensure sufficient time for an iterative design and to align calendars. 2-3 months ahead is ideal.
- SMEs required from the client during the design to help with context and ensuring the day meets the objectives.
- Large room size required - typically a room that has a capacity 50% larger than number of attendees, with lots of wall space!
- Think about the outcomes you want to achieve, the feelings and emotions you want people to have at the end of the workshop.
- Additional services like 'live' sketchnoting also available
