Get your team in the zone:
How it works
deep preparation: before your event
The more people know what to expect before they attend your off-site event, the safer they will feel and the more confident they will be when we ask them to try something new.
​
Each Curly Keynote experience is designed from scratch.
​
Asking the right questions is key, which is why Kate spends time deeply understanding you, your team, your challenges and aspirations. These insights unlock the magic on the day and ensure attendees venture outside their cognitive comfort zones with confidence.
Supercharged conversations:
During the experience
Activate people’s minds and warm-up their hearts by creating connections using questions. Then, focus attention on the opportunities, challenges and ideas that matter. Set the scene for an event in which attendees focus on what is possible and are ready to dive into purposeful and productive conversations.
​
Just because it’s fun, doesn’t make it frivolous. Be prepared for movement, music, lots of laughs and high energy.
​
If you don’t want people to get out of their seats, don’t get Kate.
Tangible take-aways:
Stay in the zone after the experience
Each Curly Keynote experience leaves attendees with a physical reminder of the insights, lessons and ideas they had during their conversations. Keep people in the creative zone longer by referring to these reminders, not just during the off-site, but when everyone’s back at work.
