What Leeds teams book
Leeds teams bring us different kinds of day, each with sessions to book directly or shape around your brief.
Wellbeing away days for large Leeds staff teams
A wellbeing away day for a large Leeds staff team brings the session, venue and refreshments into one brief. A morning on composure under pressure can open the day, and a sound healing session for up to 40 can close it, with the Impact Index reading the change.
An NHS staff team of more than 70 asked for venue, session and refreshments in one brief.
Staying composed when pressure peaks
Real-time tools for noticing how pressure shows in body and mind, from a South Yorkshire-based instructor who has delivered for NHS trusts.
With Mike
Sound healing to close the day
Gongs and singing bowls that bring a full room down from a busy day, from a teacher who travels anywhere in the UK.
With Aimee
A deep breathwork reset, with sound
A longer breathwork journey with immersive sound design guides a small group through release and back to calm, clear focus.
With Natalie
The body as a way back to the room
Play, breath and movement take a team out of its head and into the body, for groups of 20 to 80.
With Lara Sophie
Formats, timings and the shape of a staff day
Every session works on energy, focus, pressure and recovery, and the Impact Index measures the change: a before-and-after read, a short report, and certificates for the team and for each person. It complements clinical care and the employer's own stress risk assessment.
West Yorkshire's Fair Work Charter names wellbeing as one of its five aspects.
| Format | Length | Group |
|---|---|---|
| Composure under pressure, Mike | 30 to 60 minutes | 5 to 20 |
| Stress and focus reset, Mike | 20 to 45 minutes | 5 to 35 |
| Sound healing group session, Aimee | 30 to 60 minutes | 1 to 40 |
| Burnout prevention, Kai-Nneka | 60 to 90 minutes | 5 to 40 |
A day for 70 or more can open with everyone together, split into smaller sessions through the middle and close in one room again.
Can a Leeds wellbeing away day for 70 NHS staff include the venue and refreshments?
Yes. Put the venue and refreshments in the same brief as the session, and the options come back as one day, with help finding a venue. An NHS staff team of more than 70 planning a Leeds away day asked for exactly that. Zachary, a health consultant, leads catered away days for small and large organisations.
Which wellbeing session can a Leeds team of 70 or more share?
A sound healing session takes up to 40 at a time, so a larger staff day runs it twice or splits the group across two rooms, while Kai-Nneka's burnout prevention session takes up to 40 as well. Mike's composure session suits groups of up to 20 and works well as a breakout.
What does a wellbeing at work course in Leeds cover?
Each session takes one theme: staying composed under pressure with Mike, seeing burnout coming with Kai-Nneka, or rest and recovery through sound with Aimee. Put two or three together for a longer course, and the Impact Index reads energy, focus and pressure before and after.
Can a Leeds wellbeing session suit staff on different shifts?
Yes. Short formats such as Mike's 20 to 45 minute reset repeat across a day so colleagues on another shift can still take part, and a sound session can run at the end of an early shift or before a late one. Say how the shifts fall when you send the brief.
Bespoke leadership workshops in Leeds, and facilitation for your offsite
Leadership workshops in Leeds start from your team's size and its question. Elena brings a drifting team back into alignment in half a day, Greg has leaders tell the stories behind their decisions, and Brooke, a storyteller and keynote speaker, shows leaders how a story moves a room.
Patrik is based in North Yorkshire and travels anywhere for leadership work.
Back into alignment in half a day
Appreciative inquiry and structured dialogue give every voice room, so a team that has lost its way agrees on the road ahead.
With Elena
The stories behind a leader’s choices
Leaders share the stories behind their decisions, and the room learns to listen for what each colleague brings.
With Greg
Storytelling that moves a room
Storytelling for influence and leadership: how a story is built, told and landed so that people listen, remember and act.
With Brooke
A clarity lab for honest conversation
A screen-free, neuroscience-informed session that helps leaders notice how they think and react, then practise real, direct conversation.
With Hanna
Formats, group sizes and how a leadership brief comes together
Any of these can run as one block inside your own leadership offsite, at the venue and on the date you have already set.
| Format | Length | Group |
|---|---|---|
| Values, culture and mindfulness, Patrik | Shaped to your brief | Leadership teams |
| Change leadership, Melissa | Shaped to your brief | 2 to 8 |
| Failure sharing for innovation, Raj | 60 to 120 minutes | 10 to 20 |
| Presenting with stand-up comedy principles, Shawn | 4 to 8 hours | 10 to 20 |
| Composure under pressure, Mike | 30 to 60 minutes | 5 to 20 |
Can leadership workshops in Leeds be built around our own team?
Yes. Send the team's size, the question it is working on and your date, and tailored options come back quickly. Melissa shapes change leadership for 2 to 8 leaders, and Raj's failure-sharing session works with 10 to 20 for one to two hours.
Who leads leadership workshops from within Yorkshire?
Patrik is based in North Yorkshire and travels anywhere, with more than thirty years in leadership development, culture work, coaching and mindfulness, and teacher training with the Oxford Mindfulness Centre. Mike, based in South Yorkshire, leads a 30 to 60 minute session on staying composed under pressure.
Is there work on resilience for a Leeds leadership group?
Mike, an MHFA England instructor whose own recovery shapes his resilience work, helps a leadership group stay composed when pressure peaks, in 30 to 60 minutes for up to 20. Patrik also coaches leaders, and one brief brings options from both.
Can corporate training in Leeds fit inside our leadership offsite?
Each format runs as a block in your agenda. Shawn's stand-up comedy workshop takes half a day or a full day, Raj's failure-sharing session fits a morning, and Melissa's change leadership is shaped to the time you have. Send the agenda with your brief.
Team away days and team building in Leeds, from 45 minutes to a full day
A Leeds team away day can rest on one facilitated session or fill the day. Joel, a former professional actor, trains a team to listen through partner scenes, and Dylan has everyone write and record a song together, no musical background needed.
Lillie and Octave both travel to lead team days across the UK.
Listening, rehearsed in partner scenes
A former professional actor and improviser uses scenes from the stage to train colleagues to listen fully and answer in the moment.
With Joel
A song written by the whole team
No musical background needed: the team writes and records its own song, laughs a lot and sees each other differently.
With Dylan
Movement, breath and trust for a team
Movement, breathing and trust exercises that reconnect colleagues, with no dance experience asked of anyone.
With Emanuele
A team’s stories, woven into art
Colleagues bring textiles and keepsakes that matter to them, share the story behind each, and weave them into one piece of art.
With Femke
Formats, timings and building a whole day
Ideas for the rest of the day are in our guide to team away days in Leeds.
| Format | Length | Group |
|---|---|---|
| Identity and relationship blueprint, Lillie | Shaped to your day | 10 to 20 |
| Improvisation, Octave | 90 minutes to 3 hours | 8 to 20 |
| Composure under pressure, Mike | 30 to 60 minutes | 5 to 20 |
| Daring to improvise, Verena | 45 to 90 minutes | 6 to 25 |
| Paint your personality, Gunjan | 90 to 120 minutes | 15 to 25 |
A single session fits a morning or an afternoon slot; say when your day starts and finishes and the options fit around it.
What does a team away day in Leeds look like from morning to afternoon?
A full day might open with Octave's improvisation to warm the room, move to Lillie's session on how the team relates after lunch, and close with a short reflection. A shorter day puts one session at its centre and leaves the rest of the time to your own agenda.
Which team building activities in Leeds suit a group of 20?
Octave's improvisation takes 8 to 20 people for 90 minutes to three hours, and Lillie's session takes 10 to 20. Both work best when the whole group is in one room; for a larger team, run them as parallel groups or one after the other.
How long does a team building event in Leeds take?
From 90 minutes for Octave's shortest improvisation format to a full day built from two or three sessions. Send your start and finish times with the brief and the options fit the slot.
