Unconventional Works is about helping people work better together.
We believe your success as a leader is directly influenced by how you invest in yourself and your team. it’s been proven time and again that when you invest it’s reciprocated. the most courageous leaders know candor, curiosity, and creativity thrive where workplace wellness and a collaborative culture are a priority.
Successful companies need teams that work well together. Sadly, many find that silos, poor communication, and toxic behaviors are affecting the success of their teams.
The reality is that many executives are underprepared to handle every challenge that arises within their teams. In order to feel like a truly confident leader, someone equipped with the knowledge to break through barriers to success, you need to know that you can tackle any internal problem. By providing leadership culture workshops to your teams, your organization can overcome these damaging issues and begin to thrive again.
Every business deserves to have highly effective teams working together to accomplish their mission.
We understand how important effective leaders and teams are for the success of an organization. However, the last thing you need is to waste people’s time with workshops that don’t get to the root of your issues. That’s why for over 15 years we’ve been helping business leaders get unstuck, and tackle the issues that prevent a healthy workplace culture and thriving team members.
How?
Much of our work is done through melding several successful methodologies, including Appreciative Inquiry, LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, Positive Defiance, and Motivational Interviewing. First we work with you to listen to and understand your specific concerns and challenges. Then we create a program curated specifically to your needs, usually beginning with an engaging workshop that helps discover and solidify how each member uniquely shows up for the team and the work. This lays the ground work for your program and sets up our next steps that lead to greater collaboration and team alignment around meaningful purpose for the work. Coaching is available to ensure you have continued support for implementation, ongoing transformation and team performance.

“For someone that was reluctant to attend, I was pleasantly surprised with the workshop. One of the first things I heard Joanna say was that got my attention was that Pride is Fear. The Root of Pride is Fear. I never noticed the connection before she made that statement. I was fearful of participating in the activities for the fear of what others would think. But once we started to open up and working with the Lego activities and letting my guard down to be open and honest was pretty powerful. Here’s what I found most valuable.
• The root of Pride is Fear so be open to the workshop and the experience.
• Powerful team play.
• Core Identifier, I was able to look into what I can bring to the team.
• What is the Why. I learned to now ask this question more.
• Learned to make commitments to the team and to hold to those commitments.
Thanks again for a fantastic workshop look forward to utilizing the tools that we have learned from this time.”
