Did you know that there is more to team culture than “we like each other and work along well”?

In this workshop, we will look at the 4 pillars of team culture and how a founder (team) is shaping their startup’s culture from day 1.

Then we’ll dive into our own personalities and preferences “at work” with a scientific values test we do right there and then.

Finally, we will take a close look at what we’ve just learned and our own results to articulate core values for 1-2 volunteers in a sprint.

This workshop is for founders who take a strong interest in building a company that let’s people thrive and grows on a solid baseline of trust, management, and performance at the same time.

(NOTE: To participate in the values test, please bring a device with a browser and connection to the internet. Your individual results will be emailed to you after submission.)

In our daily lives, we compete for vital resources such as water. Climate change urges us to collaborate and find solutions. How can we approach this ‘game’ differently? (max 15 participants)

Mindfulness at work – during this 45 min workshop, you will have a short intro to mindfulness and explore some techniques such as conscious breathing and guided meditation. Mindfulness refers to the practice of being present and fully engaged with whatever you’re doing at the moment, without judgment, being simply in the here and now.

Especially as entrepreneurs, you may be even more confronted with the fluctuation of intense emotions in your job, whether during a big success or strong moment of doubts. Introducing more mindfulness into our lives can help us to manage moments of stress, doubts, in a more conscious way, by balancing our emotions, our state of mind and, finally, our decision-making abilities.

This workshop is for everyone curious to learn more about the topic of mindfulness and its techniques.
