Workplace
Programmes

Q.
What type of workplaces do you work with?
  • Small to medium-sized teams (Minimum of 5 people).
  • Diverse groups of all levels, from new starts, mid-management to senior management.
  • Remote, hybrid, and office-based teams.
Q.
What do we talk about?

Generally speaking, workshops are comprised of a range of exercises, some in big groups, some in small groups, and some on your own. It is an opportunity to down tools, reflect and discuss thoughts, feelings, attitudes relating to work and life. All exercises are intentional and purposeful.

Q.
Is it just workshops?

Workshops are a key component of my relationship with teams. However, there are other ways to engage.
- Post workshops, I work with people on a one-to-one basis. This is a safe and confidential space for people to further personal and professional growth.
- More bite-sized engagements are available in the form of weekly check-ins. These are for teams who have signed up for the long-form program.
- I run bespoke engagements like keynote speeches and Mc'ing work events. My style is to keep them engaging, fun, and experiential.

Q.
Whats the biggest issue you've seen in teams since lockdown?

All the better. This program is ideal for integrating new staff into the organisation. It makes up for the lost relationship-building opportunities that would have been experienced at the watercooler, the walk to the car after work, or the long lunch table experiences.

Q.
Where do the workshops take place?

This depends on the space you can make for the engagements. If it isn't run in the office or online, teams can have the sessions offsite, at retreats for instance.

Q.
How does Sync-In translate to the online world?

I was skeptical at the beginning, but online workshops translate very well. Dare I say, to the point where people feel like they are in the same room. They serve as a valuable replacement for the water-cooler chats, the walks to the car, and canteen conversations.

Q.
Whats the biggest issue you've seen in teams since lockdown?

People have been extremely digitally engaged via zoom, instant messaging, phone calls, WhatsApp, etc. However, people seem to be lacking the real, authentic connected experiences with teammates.

Q.
What is the first step?

Every group is different. Once I understand the unique DNA of the group. I design bespoke experiences to fit the team's short or long-term needs. When this is discussed and signed off, we can begin the workshop/program.

Sports
Programs

Q.
Do you work with the management and backroom teams?

Yes. Custom-made engagements are available for backroom teams. It helps them to understand what the players are experiencing in the sessions. As well as building connections as a backroom team, they learn some soft skills which help them to foster connection and psychological safety day-to-day.

Q.
Do you work 1-1 with the players?

Yes if required, I am available to work with players throughout the season. These are spaces where players can discuss any sports or personal-related topics, safely and confidentially.

Q.
Is there research behind your approach?

Yes, one key approach backing my work with sports teams, is called Personal Disclosure, Mutual Sharing. Researchers have tested this approach with sports teams worldwide and discovered some incredible results. For example, enhanced communication, closeness and trust, empathy, group efficacy, and on-field performance.

Q.
How many workshops do we need?

It all depends on the level of depth of results you want to achieve. The Voyage program reaps deeper and sustained impact. If you are looking for a meaningful reset, a single Huddle workshop will achieve this.

Q.
When is best to do them?

Each season has its peaks, troughs, and everything in between. The Voyagers program has workshops to suits each stage of the journey - from pre-season, mid-season, times of decompression, post loss, approaching finals, leaving space also for any unplanned events/cultural issues that need addressing.

Q.
How do you fit into the set up?

If you sign up for the Voyage Program, I work on a consultancy basis, whereby I engage with the team intermittently throughout the season. If you are interested in a one-off experience, I am contracted in for this single engagement.

Q.
Are workshops emotional?

When people speak meaningfully, the full spectrum of emotions arises - fear, sadness, nerves, hope, love, joy, inspiration, etc. I am trained and experienced to hold whatever arises, to leave people in an empowering place.

Q.
Is this program for me?
  • Does your team seem disconnected and singing off different hymn sheets?
  • Do you notice a lethargy, stagnancy or lack of energy in your group?
  • Has your team lost sight of your collective vision?
  • Would your team value a healthy reset?

If the answer is 'yes' to any of the above, then Huddle or Sync-In fit your needs.

Q.
How is this any different?

Ronan's person-centered approach ensures that participants are front and centre. This creates an immersive, engaging and meaningful learning experience, where individuals become teachers for eachother.

Q.
Who is this for?
  • Teams striving to foster an environment of wellbeing and high performance.
  • Teams wanting to get a rare and unique edge.
Q.
Do you work with backroom teams?

Yes. Ideally, I would run at least one session with the full backroom team. This helps to 1) build a tight knit group, and 2) empower variety of practitioners to foster connection within their daily roles.
