“Reconnect’s training and personal coaching have had a truly transformational impact both on my personal and my professional life. I have been able to transform habits that were not serving me in my relationships at home and at work. I now have more capacity to take the time to respond rather than react. I take things less personally and I cultivate a curiosity for the needs behind the person’s actions or words. I think I became a better listener and manager, and I recommend this training for all managers and employees who want to improve their communication skills.”

Teambuilding (1h to one day)
A playful way to create connection and collaboration
1h up to one day team building session
I deeply believe that play and fun is another key to a powerful team spirit. With years of experience in improvisation, I know lots of activities and games that can will support connection, fun and collaboration. We can combine a training in communication with a team-building activity to create the environment that will foster trust and authenticity in your group. I really enjoy facilitating those team-building experiences indoors or outside in nature to connect with each other in a stress-free environment, and liberate your creativity, spontaneity and playfulness. In collaboration with you, I help create It an ideal context to rethink the way we want to interact with each other, and to redefine what we really want to achieve together. The workshop is co-created with your organization and can include :
– games to build trust and invite playfulness, fun and spontaneity
– artistic activities to cultivate co-creation (can include movement, singing or music making, drawing, silent disco dance outdoors)
– team-building activities to foster collaboration and effective communication
“Myriam did a fantastic job facilitating a day-long teambuilding and idea generating retreat with our non-profit’s members. She created a safe environment, chose fun activities appropriate for our group, and allowed us to get the most out of the experience.”
