Our Recent Success: "Intergenerational Communication: Bridging X, Y and Z Workshop."
We are thrilled to share the incredible success of the Intergenerational Communication Workshop which aimed to bridge the communication gaps that can arise between generations in our client's workplace, fostering understanding, collaboration, and increase harmony.Throughout the workshop, we explored the unique characteristics, values, and communication preferences of each generation, from the Boomer to Generation Z.
By understanding historical events, societal and technology changes that have shaped these generations, we were able to gain valuable insights, and understanding into their communication styles and expectations. One of the highlights of the workshop was interactive discussions and activities that encouraged participants to share their experiences and perspectives. These discussions allowed them to debunk stereotypes and misconceptions, foster empathy, and respect among participants.
Thank you to all the participants who made this workshop a resounding success. Your enthusiasm and willingness to learn, to share and to grow truly inspire us to continue creating meaningful experiences. Let's continue the conversation and work together to bridge the generational gaps in our workplaces, creating a harmonious and thriving environments for all.

Team-Culturing Experience Day to Boost Togetherness:
Due to the growing complexity in the VUCA world and with team members coming from different backgrounds and cultures. Individuals also have different levels of understanding, opinions, skills and communication. A full day Team Culturing Experience Program for 14 learners was tailor-made to enable the members to appreciate the diversity of personalities and cultures, facilitate communication and how to put these into actions. The program broke down boundaries and created "togetherness" by appreciating the diversity of other personalities. Learners also discovered their own core values and explored how to connect with others. By taking time out of the office as a team to work as "One Team One Goal" helped to re-energise team spirit, increased collaboration, encouraged wider buy in and greatly raised positive energy!

Stimulating understanding, communication and problem solving:
The Value-based Goal Setting Program by using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® (“LSP”) was designed for 40 insurers from an international insurance company. Being an insurer that customers can trust goes beyond the technical elements of risk management, and extends to how to listen and talk to customers from the point of sale to the time when claims are filed. LSP involves intensive exchange of ideas among each other. This exchange always creates a lot of feelings and enthusiasm. Our facilitators don’t have all the answers. The workshop outcome depends on hearing all the voices from inside the room. As the workshop progressed, all participants had gotten a glimpse of teammates’ personality quirks and were able to relate to each other better. The biggest outcome of the learning session was stimulating understanding, communication and, problem solving which then created an environment with insight, confidence and commitment.

Division of Business and Hospitality Management (BHM), CPCE, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University: Leadership and Team Building Workshop
On a beautiful weekend in spring, a group of students from HKCC and SPEED of PolyU enjoyed our Building Rainbow Mega-City Team Event where participants were able to explore their leadership style, build trust, encourage communication and foster innovation. Team building is aimed at forming a close-knit, well-coordinated team through activities which help to encourage collaboration and teamwork. Building the Rainbow Mega-City helps the group to work on a common goal by contributing their own efforts. All actions of each team member must be well-coordinated within their own responsibility. They should understand what the results of each step will lead to. Motivation plays one of the significant roles here.
