Our experiential T-group workshops include regular blocks of time during which you'll work together in one cohesive group to build communication skills, self-awareness and effective group dynamics.
During these "talking circle" work sessions, you and your group-mates will develop skills through engaging in real conversations about the "here and now". With two highly experienced facilitators to help guide the way, these practice sessions become a powerful tool for internalizing new behaviors that align with your goals.
A typical 15% risk that contributes to learning could include:
You can practice concepts and skills you may have read or heard about from authors and researchers like Brene Brown, Daniel Goleman, John Gottman, and many others. Reading about having a vulnerable conversation, building stronger relationships, or giving effective feedback is a great first step.
Practicing them in a safe, facilitated environment is what really helps you learn these new skills and develop more desirable habits and behaviors. (If you haven't read or heard about these researchers, don't worry. We'll tell you what you need to know.)

With two highly experienced facilitators to help guide the way, these practice sessions become a powerful tool for internalizing new behaviors that align with your goals.
A typical 15% risk that contributes to learning could include:
- Sharing your observations, feelings and emotions about what is happening in the group
- Giving feedback to other members about how they are impacting you or how you notice they're impacting the group as a whole. We'll help guide feedback so it's delivered in productive rather than harmful ways.
- Asking for and receiving feedback from others
- Standing up for your needs or asking for what you want
- Investigating a story you notice happening inside your head by checking it out with the group or individual. (This is similar to what Brene Brown would call "Rumbling")
- Revealing a more integrated, authentic version of yourself (rather that the "purely professional" or "everyone admires these limited parts me" version of yourself).
