Practical, experiential learning that gives your people a shared language for communication, trust and performance. Delivered as single sessions or as a multi-workshop series - in person, offsite retreats or virtual, for groups of 5 to 500.
These workshops develop teams in any industry - companies, government agencies and nonprofits alike. We work with you first to understand your goals, then tailor the content to your people.
Leadership & team development, delivered live
Long Table's workshops are built on the world-class leadership tools of GiANT Worldwide and The Table Group - the same frameworks used in our consulting engagements. Each one takes a proven concept and makes it engaging and experiential, so your people don't just hear an idea, they practice it together and leave with tools they'll keep using.
Bring in a single workshop, or run a full series for ongoing team and organization development. Either way, we start by listening to your needs and where your opportunities for growth are, then adapt the content, examples and pace to your organization, whether you're a growing company, a government agency or a nonprofit.

Just like a car, every part of our day has a right gear. The 5 Gears help your team learn when to be fully present, when to focus, when to connect and when to recharge - so they show up more productive, more present, and more emotionally intelligent with the people around them.
Teams learn to recognize which gear they're in, shift intentionally, and read the gear others are in - reducing friction and building trust in every interaction.

Workshop objectives
Conquer chaos. Find fulfillment. The Peace Index gives your team a practical tool to understand how key factors and stressors affect their personal peace - and, in turn, their health, behavior and performance at work. When peace is high, people think more clearly, treat obstacles as challenges, and lead from a place of confidence and humility.
The five factors of peace

Score all five factors, average them, and you have the number that follows you into every room - and learn to keep it high and steady.
Workshop objectives
So much friction comes from a simple mismatch: one person wants to be heard, the other jumps to solving. The Communication Code gives your team five shared "code words" to name what they need from a conversation before it starts - so both sides send and receive the right message, and relationships take far less wear and tear.

Without the Communication Code, you have about a 20% chance of a positive outcome in a hard conversation. Naming the code first changes that.
"Seek to understand before seeking to be understood."
The fastest, easiest way to help your team get in touch with the types of work that give them energy - and the types that drain them. Based on Patrick Lencioni's model from The Table Group, the six geniuses spell WIDGET and reveal why some work feels effortless and some feels exhausting.
Participants begin with a personalized assessment, then work through hands-on activities to see how their geniuses shape the way the team creates, decides and gets things done - leaving with practical strategies to align roles, run better meetings and reduce burnout.
