Groups that freeze, overthink or lose momentum when things get chaotic
WHAT WE DO IN THE SESSIONSee how fear and pressure shut creativity down—and what turns it back on.
Learn practical, play-based tools that spark faster insight
Run live exercises to shift rigid thinking into flexible, adaptive responses
Apply the methods to real challenges your team is actually facing
Get quick coaching to help ideas move instead of stall

Looking for something … different?
We can create an experience that totally shifts what you and your team thought possible.

CUSTOM
EXPERIENCES
Sometimes a team needs something that doesn’t exist yet. That’s when we design a custom experience around your questions, your people and the change you’re trying to make. Examples? Scroll on.
CUSTOM: CLUES™
Human-Centric Change at Enterprise Scale
When you’re running a 100-year-old company with over 20k people, change can be … complicated. And frustrating. And prone to failure. CLUES™ helped Prudential’s teams embrace a new direction with more clarity, ease and enthusiasm than anyone imagined.
What they needed:
A company-wide shift toward real customer centricity—starting with 350–400 senior leaders.
What I created:
A science-backed behavior change program introducing 5 core habits (“CLUES”), launched with a mainstage keynote (right after the CEO and CMO), plus breakout sessions and a full curriculum scaled across the enterprise.
What happened:
“This experience is phenomenal. People are sharing and connecting in ways I’ve never seen them do before.”
—Susan Somersille Johnson, CMO

CUSTOM: NARRATIVE CONFIDENCE
Turning Expertise Into Influence
If people don’t understand what you do and why it matters… you’re toast. That was the reality for a quiet, technically brilliant Nike team who struggled to put their work into words. This custom lab helped them clarify their value, speak up with confidence and go from invisible to unmissable.
What they needed:
A practical (and enjoyable) way to express their impact.
What I created:
A full-day, hands-on session with creative prompts, partner missions and real-time coaching that helped each person articulate what makes their work essential.
What happened:
People left more clear, connected and confident naming what they’re great at. They gained tools to elevate their visibility and went on to be voted MOST VALUABLE TEAM of Nike Design.
As one participant said:
“This was so much fun! The exercises allowed interactions and conversations with my teammates and co-workers on a different and possibly more meaningful level than we normally get to engage in… if presented to a wider team it has the potential to foster a greater level of community at work.”
Want to make the invisible unmissable? Let’s create magic.
CUSTOM: DEATH DINNER
Reflecting on Death to Remember How to Live
What if tonight was the end? That question sparked Death Dinner, an immersive “last meal” I created with artistic director Elise Ertel. Using comedy, music and structured prompts, people skipped the small talk to deeply connect over the things we usually leave unsaid.
What they needed:
A shortcut to deep truths.
What we created:
A pilot experience blending the absurd with the profound. We curated a 3-course "last meal" featuring live entertainment, a chef-guided shared menu, and thoughtful prompts that got people reconnecting with what gives their lives meaning.
What happened:
People building the kind of trust in three hours that usually takes years.
“I need more of this in my life.”
Want to tackle difficult conversations with grace and levity? Let’s do this … before it’s too late.
“Jocelyn led a semi-customized workshop during my team’s retreat with a little brain-play. It gave every person a renewed sense of energy and the license to think beyond the way our brain is trained to think—and to have fun at work.
This type of session is priceless.”
Tracy Mathews
Senior Creative Director, APCO
CREATE LASTING CHANGE
