WORKSHOPS

Organizations are made up of human beings, and we humans are biologically wired to approach change, growth, and innovation from a “default setting” of hesitancy or even fear. Mindset is the individual, subconscious, and unintentional force that drives humans to either underpin or undermine new skillsets, toolsets, strategies, cultures, initiatives, plans and execution. The great news is that practicing micro behaviors, in a highly engaging, impactful way, can help us build awareness AND develop & retain skills to proactively choose a “default setting” that serves us better.

Interactive & Energetic

Deeper sense of connection

Identity & Culture Formed

John Sweeney Workshops start with the same topics of his Keynote, and allow a much deeper dive into new behaviors to jumpstart people into taking action, embracing change, and moving forward. Sweeney undertakes a rigorous process for understanding and customizing each workshop to curate a lineup from our extensive library of behavioral exercises that have been road tested and refined across thousands of learners, and hundreds of organizations, over 25 years.

Workshops leverage fun and engaging interactive exercises to uncover and start to change our unconscious defaults, while building trust and accountability.
