What to Expect from a Humessence Team-Building Workshop
Our Approach to Team Building

Each experience blends positive psychology, leadership coaching, and experiential learning so participants can practice the real skills that make teams thrive: communication, trust, feedback, and collaboration.

iEQ9 Enneagram Assessment & Debrief Workshop
Despite the Enneagram’s long history, psychologists and organization development researchers have adopted and refined it to become the modern, applicable framework it is today. While a single questionnaire fosters deep levels of self-awareness, together, they offer a framework for reflecting on group dynamics and drivers. The iEQ9 focuses not only on the ‘what’ of assessment but also the ‘so what, now what?’ of development for growth. (Recommended 3-4-hour session + Individual 60-90-minute Debrief Sessions)
Participants will walk away…
- With an individualized, nuanced 42-page report on their iEQ9 results.

Workplace Mindfulness Workshop
In today’s world, our attention and focus are consistently under attack. Targeted ads, persistent notifications, 24/7 availability, and the list goes on. The quality of our awareness decides whether or not we can put what we learn into practice and integrate new behaviors. That’s why mindfulness lies at the core of all of our programs and is a standalone workshop experience. Mindfulness creates the space between stimulus and response needed for true behavior change.
Participants will walk away…

- Less stressed with an increased ability for emotional regulation.

Our Experiential Learning Methodology
Real Scenarios, Not Roleplay
Our experiential learning workshops are built around authentic workplace challenges, not canned activities. Participants work through real-world communication, leadership, and collaboration dynamics that reflect their daily environments. This approach fosters psychological safety, empathy, and deeper self-awareness — learning that feels human, not hypothetical.
Practice, Feedback, and Reflection
Each session integrates coaching-style facilitation, peer feedback, and structured reflection. This process allows participants to experiment safely, gain immediate insight into their communication habits, and translate those lessons into lasting behavioral change. Rooted in evidence-based learning design — including positive psychology, emotional intelligence, and adult development theory — our workshops ensure that transformation extends far beyond the classroom.
Virtual & Hybrid Team-Building Options
At Humessence, we’ve designed our virtual team building workshops to create the same level of engagement, energy, and connection as in-person experiences. Whether your people are across cities or continents, each session blends real-time collaboration tools with guided facilitation that keeps participants involved — not just on camera.
Designing for Connection in Every Format
We know that attention spans and group dynamics shift online, so we design intentionally for it. Every virtual or hybrid workshop uses micro-interactions, live reflections, and breakout activities that encourage genuine dialogue and trust. Our facilitators are trained in virtual engagement techniques — balancing structure with spontaneity — to ensure each participant feels seen and heard.
We also provide hybrid delivery options for distributed teams that combine in-person and online elements, ensuring no one is left behind. This flexible design allows teams to experience deep connection, psychological safety, and collaboration — wherever they work.
Whether your team meets in a boardroom, on Zoom, or across multiple offices, Humessence workshops bring people together through authentic human connection and shared learning.
Team-Building Workshop Program FAQs
