Decision Rehearsal

Turn one workshop principle into a realistic decision, then revisit it twice with a changed situation. This facilitator-led exercise includes a worked delegation example and can run with paper and ordinary email; no special software or purchase is required.

Energising and Draining Activities

Track daily what energises and drains participants to reveal their strengths. Over a week, participants log the activities that lift or deplete their energy, sometimes called green and red activities, then read the pattern to surface strengths and weaknesses. Daily noticing is far more accurate than recalling it all at the end. Ideal for strengths, self-awareness and role-design work.

A Meaning & Purpose Check-In: Self-Audit

This exercise gives participants a fast, visual way to check in with how meaningful and purposeful their work currently feels, across four distinct dimensions, rather than as one vague feeling. Rooted in the Map of Meaning framework, it separates the daily felt experience of work from the bigger picture it serves, and shows people where they're thriving and where something has quietly gone neglected. Ideal for individual coaching, team check-ins, wellbeing programs, and leadership development, wherever a quick but genuine pulse check on meaning is useful.
