Teambuilding

What I Do:

I get people to connect with each other. All my programs are very experiential and not didactic. For example, if a program is about communication, I don’t teach communication strategies – we actually communicate, engage and talk about issues that the group might be experiencing. The focus is on engagement, connection, ‘enlivenation’, fun, self-awareness, vitality, communication, appreciation and restorative therapy.

What My Work Can Accomplish and What It Cannot 

The theme throughout is very much “connection.”  I’ve found it pretty impossible to change deep attitudinal differences within groups in a workshop. Usually deep attitudinal change is achieved through one-on-one coaching. However, clients need to be willing to engage. I have found that ‘Connection’ has a way of breaking down walls. When I can connect with my teammates in a way that helps me appreciate them more as human beings and not just focus on the troubling role they play in my work life; when you can laugh with them, create with them, learn with them, have meaningful conversations with them, then defences start to come down.

Workshops and Company Retreats

An initial consultation will determine the perfect ingredients to meet your requirements. There are no standard events; your program is always customized to fit you and your organization’s needs. It can include a Keynote Address.

What People Say:

"I experienced Radha's magic as she transformed a room full of relative strangers into a community of learners, explorers and pilgrims. I appreciated Radha's openness to questions from the group. I found that she answered in a way that was both helpful to the individual who asked the question as well as offering something that would resonate with the group as a whole. I'll be back!"
Nancy Weiler
Psycho-Educational Consultant, participant, Enneagram workshop, Regis College, University of Toronto
"I found Radha's session yesterday really a lot of fun. I was surprised at how it helped me understand challenging interpersonal relationships. I think that its biggest benefit was 'cross-pollination'. I found surprising allies in unknown places. I have to say I was skeptical about this 'fluffy stuff,' but I thought the entire thing was worthwhile and uniting."
Lea Babcock
Physician, Orillia, Ontario
"Ms. Lion's... warmth and generosity of spirit have ensured her a place as a regular contributor to the educational programs that we host for Canadian optometrists and their clinical staff. She is one of the best group facilitators I have ever encountered."
Dr. Paul Chris
OD, Executive Director, Vision Institute of Canada
"Radha provided services to three organizations that I led from 1999 to 2005. Her creativity and collaborative spirit helped me see perplexing dilemmas from new perspectives. She was insightful and even visionary at times in her personal counsel to me and to our Board members. Where we were stuck, she cut right to the chase and didn't make a big deal about it either."
