Our coaches have worked with a variety of businesses, ranging from small teams of 3-5 people, to larger groups of 30 and more. Regardless of size, Create the Great in You is equipped to work with your team to encourage communication, inspire outside-the-box thinking and problem solving, and taking a positive approach to bettering mental health. We believe these skills are key in helping your teams work better together and achieve greater success.
Our goal is to inspire creativity, collaboration and positive mental health in all work place environments. We achieve this through our four programmes.
Team Building and Collaboration: Enables employees to recognise their own personal skills and how to use them in a group setting. It also provides an understanding that their peers may have a different work-process and this shouldn’t hinder the collaboration of their team.
Mental Strength & Resilience: Focuses on improving your employee’s ability to accept set-backs in their work, understand how the issues occurred and, most importantly, conceive solutions. Mentor Training: Identifies the potential leaders and teachers in your team. As a group, we discuss what characteristics make a great leader and encourage those who wish to help others. Finally; Keynote/Motivational Speaker: Is a talk by our coaches about their life experiences, the impact of those experiences and how their resilience allowed them to persevere.
