Tired of glorified personality tests as an off-site? I’ve crafted a unique one-day workshop designed to help teams improve trust, communication, and creativity drawing on insights from my in-the-field experience working with senior leadership of organizations, my teaching at Cornell University, and work as a professional fight choreographer.

Over 20+ years of choreographing fight scenes, I’ve helped hundreds of actors go from complete strangers to allowing the other person to swing a sword at them in a matter of days (or even hours). Unfortunately in the corporate world, many teams of well-intentioned, smart, hard-working people can work together for years and still hardly trust each other. The good news is that the same principles that allow extreme trust to develop among actors apply in a corporate context. I’ve developed a set of exercises to help your team of up to twelve people unlock its full potential. Reach out for details (and, yes, you will get to use swords)!
