Sometimes people just need a facilitator to host a team planning day, a series of events or an important offsite retreat. I create solutions tailor-made for your team.

Customer Service Pros

A 4-Session Applied Practice Series (Delivered over 4 months)

A structured, gently physical professional development program designed for frontline and administrative staff working in fast-paced, high-contact environments. This series blends applied principles from Aikido — a Japanese martial art centred on timing, balance, and redirection of force — with reflective workplace practice.

Participants learn to:

  • Respond more effectively when clients are escalated or difficult

  • Improve timing and judgement in high-pressure interactions

  • Conserve energy by avoiding unnecessary conflict

This is not self-defence training.
It is practical relational skill development for demanding service environments.
