The Magic of Imperfection

Service Description

This workshop is an incomparable experience for leaders and teams who are cracking open possibilities in innovative ways. Participants engage in a unique and powerful hands-on experience, pulled from an age-old practice, to accelerate the art of recognizing and building strength from our unique attributes and skills, reflecting on how we interact with our own teams, customers, and other stakeholders. Plus, it’s a sure-fire way to instantaneously connect and bond with others in the organization. We’ll borrow from the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi – each person breaking a bowl and mending it with golden glue - for an experience that engages head, heart, and hands. The activity - customized for each group, based on goals and specifics explored in advance - empowers each participant to reflect upon what makes us, our teams, and even our world, whole, what the individual components create, and how the cracks let the light in. We explore how unique shards, bonded together, create strength. The workshop leader leverages coaching and facilitating skills to invite and draw out ah-hahs while ensuring a ripple effect of fun throughout the room. Participants from early-stage professionals to c-suite officers who’ve taken part have called the experience “profound” and “deeply impactful.” The questions posed, reflection exercises, and peer-to-peer interactions baked into the in-person workshop produce powerful outcomes including the following: Enhanced awareness of collaboration, communication, and culture Exploration of the interplay of a group’s strengths and weaknesses Heightened awareness of what it means to work and lead with accountability, authenticity, and empathy BONUS: Each participant has fun, unleashing their inner creative, connecting with their cohort peers, and takes their unique, personally crafted bowl home with them
