  • Free 48hr Hold

In today’s evolving workplace, fostering psychological safety and authenticity are key drivers of team engagement and high performance. According to the Harvard Business Review, teams that embrace authenticity from the start empower both employees and the company to perform at their best.

Led by Emmy-nominated poet IN-Q, this experience takes your team on an immersive journey of trust-building and emotional connection through spoken word poetry. The session begins with a live performance by IN-Q, introducing your team to the powerful medium of storytelling through slam poetry. This creative experience encourages self-expression in a safe, inclusive environment where employees can share their authentic selves.

After the performance, IN-Q will guide your team through an interactive storytelling exercise, providing a prompt that allows each participant to craft and share their unique story. This exercise not only enhances communication skills but also fosters a deeper sense of belonging and empathy within the team.

By the end of this session, your team will walk away with new insights, a heightened sense of camaraderie, and stronger bonds rooted in trust. This experience is perfect for teams looking to cultivate emotional intelligence, deepen connection, and reinforce a high-performance culture.

As featured on the front page of The Wall Street Journal in 2021, this session was praised for its ability to create “a deeper sense of trust between colleagues.” Let this unique, interactive experience help your team tap into their authentic selves, building resilience and collaboration in today’s modern workplace.
