What national teams book

The sessions national teams book most, each able to travel from office to office with the same facilitator and standard.

Sessions that travel to every Australian office

A national team rarely meets in one city, so the sessions travel. Francisco uses drawing to open new conversations, Sarah brings theatre craft to presence and voice, and Allister takes a values process home to every office, each with the same quality from Sydney to Perth.

Australia's team building company A national team is best served by a partner who can run a session in Perth on Tuesday and Brisbane on Thursday under the same brief. Brief us as your team building agency and we plan the whole series, fit each format to its office and send the expert to your floor. See how our team building agency plans national programmes.

Most national programmes start with one session the leadership team trusts, then repeat it office by office. Francisco's Drawing the Language of Nature runs as four sessions for six to twenty; Sarah's Presence in Motion takes up to sixty in 45 minutes to two hours; Naďa's acting techniques suit three to fifteen; and Allister's Team Values, Taken Home works with five to a hundred.

A typical rollout:

  • one brief covering every city, the dates and the headcount in each office
  • a single format adapted to each room, from a CBD boardroom to a regional site
  • the same Culturist for the series, or a matched lead in each city
  • the Impact Index read in every office, so leaders see the same before and after across the country

Can one corporate team facilitator in Australia run the same session in several cities?

Yes. Many of our Culturists travel nationally as part of their practice, so one facilitator can take a session from Sydney to Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide on consecutive days. Where a local lead suits a city better, we pair the same format with a Culturist based there and keep the materials, timings and measures identical.

How many people can a national team-building session take?

It depends on the format. A facilitated murder mystery takes 20 to 75 guests; an alignment session works best with 3 to 30. For larger groups we run parallel rooms with matched facilitators, which keeps every table engaged at a company-wide event.

Year-round wellbeing programmes for multi-site teams

A multi-site programme gives every office the same thread across the year. Gabriela teaches a guided meditation people can use at their desks, Coco helps multicultural teams decode before they react, and Eulalia uses art to widen how leaders see, with each session measured before and after.

Employee wellbeing services, nationwide For multi-site organisations, we shape the year around what your staff survey and psychosocial plan are telling you, then bring practitioners to every office, regional sites included, with results your leaders can compare across locations. Start a national programme with our corporate wellness provider team.

  • 30 to 90 minutes15 to 30

    Leading across cultures

Under the model WHS laws, employers must eliminate or minimise psychosocial risks so far as reasonably practicable, and each state adds its own code or regulation: New South Wales issued its code of practice in 2021, Western Australia in 2022, and Victoria's psychological health regulations have now commenced. Our programmes sit alongside your risk assessment and your EAP: they build the everyday skills teams use to regulate pressure, recover and speak up.

A four-quarter rhythm many national employers choose:

  • Q1 (July to September): a values or alignment session as the new financial year starts, then a team conversation around R U OK? Day
  • Q2 (October to December): a nervous-system reset session in October and a lighter gathering before the end-of-year peak
  • Q3 (January to March): a resilience session as teams return
  • Q4 (April to June): a recovery and focus session ahead of EOFY

Allister's values session runs 90 to 120 minutes for 5 to 100 people and works as a programme opener. Lucy's Safe to Speak builds the psychological safety that lets people speak up, in 60 to 90 minutes for 5 to 15.

What does a workplace wellbeing programme across Australia include?

A national programme usually combines one opening session for leaders, a recurring session in each office every quarter or month, and a measured read at the start and end. Formats range from 45-minute resets to multi-day somatic programmes, in person or online, so regional sites take part on the same schedule as head office.

Can we run staff wellbeing programmes in Sydney and Melbourne at the same time?

Yes. Sydney and Melbourne offices often run the same programme in the same week, each with a Culturist based in that city. The themes, timings and Impact Index questions stay identical, so the results compare cleanly across both teams.

How do we show the programme made a difference?

Every programme can carry the Impact Index: a short before-and-after read for the team, a report for People and Culture, and certificates for participants. It turns a calendar of sessions into evidence a leadership team can review each quarter.

Leadership sessions that travel to your offsite or retreat

National leadership groups meet a few times a year, so each session has to count. Gustav puts leaders in front of professional musicians, Kelly equips them to lead through change, and Mike teaches feedback without drama, each ready for any Australian city.

Which leadership session suits a national leadership offsite?

For a group of up to ten, Gustav's Conductor for a Day puts leaders in front of professional musicians for 30 to 90 minutes. For larger groups, Kelly's Leading Through Change runs from 90 minutes to a full day for up to fifty. Both travel to any Australian city or venue.

Can a feedback workshop run across several offices?

Yes. Mike's Feedback without the Drama runs for up to twenty in 60 to 90 minutes and can repeat office by office, so every team learns the same peer-to-peer approach. It draws on methods from the arts and nonviolent communication.

Where we work in Australia

Each major city has its own page with its own Culturists and sessions, and Canberra and Adelaide are covered here. National programmes join them up: one brief, one standard, and the same before-and-after measure in every office, from the CBD to a regional site.

Canberra: agency teams and the policy year

Canberra teams work to the policy year: budget weeks, Senate Estimates and the end-of-year rush. Michelle's team creativity workshop uses collaborative art games to loosen a branch up after a hard sitting, and Atika runs interactive team sessions built on improvisation and play for groups of up to fifty, in agency offices or a hired space.

What corporate team building suits a Canberra agency team?

Agency teams usually prefer team building with a practical edge: a communication challenge, a facilitated values session or a creative workshop that ends in something the branch uses. We time it for the weeks after Estimates so attendance is high and the team has room to reflect.

Can sessions help policy staff communicate complex material?

Yes. We brief a Culturist whose communication work suits the material, from presence and voice to storytelling, and build the session around the team's own drafts, so staff practise turning dense material into language a minister's office, a stakeholder or the public can follow.

Can you run an employee wellbeing program for a Canberra department?

Yes. A Canberra programme follows the national rhythm with dates set around the parliamentary year, delivered by a Canberra-based Culturist where possible and measured with the Impact Index for your People branch.

Adelaide: mental fitness and team dynamics

Adelaide teams book hands-on sessions that bring people together: Susan, a practising artist of twenty-five years who specialises in glass, leads hand casting in plaster, wax or chocolate for up to twenty-five, and Ginie's playful movement session loosens a team up with flow and free dance before a day of problem solving. Sessions run in your office, a CBD venue or a winery for an away day.

Susan's clients include Lendlease and Montsalvat.

    A slower hour, with live music

    A multi-platinum artist uses voice, live music and immersive design to help a small team breathe out together.

Are corporate mindfulness programs available in Adelaide?

Yes. Mental fitness and mindfulness-based sessions run in Adelaide as single workshops or as a series, in person in the city with online sessions for regional staff, and each series can carry an Impact Index read.

Which workshop helps an Adelaide team improve how it works together?

DiSC is the usual starting point: 60 to 90 minutes, 4 to 30 people, giving everyone a practical read of how colleagues prefer to work and decide. Teams often follow it with a mental fitness session a few weeks later.
