Seeing in New Ways (SINW)

What If the Breakthrough Your Team Needs Isn’t a New Answer
— But a NewPerspective?

We’ve all been there.

You and your team are gathered around a familiar challenge. The whiteboard is full. The
conversation loops. You try a new tool, a new framework… but things still feel stuck.

Here’s the truth: Sometimes it’s not about working harder. It’s about seeing differently.

“Seeing in New Ways” BentoBox is designed specifically to help teams shift their mindset
and open up new possibilities.

The Power of Perspective

At the heart of this experience is a deceptively simple idea:
What you see depends on how you see.

The session begins with an invitation to slow down and notice your own assumptions. From
there, you don’t jump to solutions – you practice presence. That presence helps teams
recognize that the current view of the challenge is just one lens among many.

Then the real magic happens. Teams explore the challenge through four distinct
perspectives. Each one opens a new window. New ways to frame, to imagine, and to move
forward.


What You will Do

Over a few hours, teams:

 Reframe business challenges into opportunities.
 Take these opportunities out into the real world – literally – and explore them through
a fresh lens.
 Practice looking at problems as systems, as people, as creative provocations, and as
possibilities.
 Use photos, stories, and playful reframing exercises to generate new insights and new
ideas.

By the end, teams don’t just have new solutions, they have new eyes.

What You will Take Away

This isn’t just a creative workshop. It’s a mindset shift.
You’ll walk away with:
Four concrete perspectives you can use again and again.

 A team-wide reminder to stay curious and open.
 A sense of movement where there was once stuckness.

If your team is tackling something complex…
If you’re circling the same challenge again and again…
If you know there’s more possibility than you’re currently seeing…

This might be the shift you need.

Resetting And Going Again (RAGA)

When Teams Hit a Wall – How to Reset, Refocus, and Move Forward

You know the moment.
The team is tired. The energy is scattered. Maybe something didn’t go to plan—a missed
goal, a failed launch, a hard conversation.

It’s not a crisis, exactly. But something’s off.
And in that moment, pushing harder isn’t the answer. What’s needed is a pause – to take
stock, breathe together, and choose how to move forward.

That’s exactly what teams do in our “Resetting and Going Again” BentoBox – a guided
session designed to help groups regroup, reflect, and re-energize.


It doesn’t feel like a workshop. It feels like a powerful conversation – honest, human, and
gently powerful.
Teams gather not to fix everything, but to sit with where they are. Teams explore the moment
they are in – logically and emotionally. Temas explore with curiosity what made things
difficult and where they want to go next.
There is structure, yes – but also space. Space to tell the truth. Space to listen. Space to shift.

How it works
Over a few hours, teams move through three meaningful stages:
Book 1 – The Moment You’re In
You named it. Not just the problem, but the feeling. Team members each reflected on what
made this moment hard – and what they hoped to achieve on the other side.

Book 2 – A Moment to Learn
Here’s where things get real. Teams sort through the factors that led them to the difficulty –
was it a mistake? A risk? A bold attempt? Teams learn to let go of what they couldn’t control,
and to pull lessons from what they could.

Book 3 – Taking the First Step Forward
This is the turning point. Teams turn reflections into intentions. Each person commits to
something real. Teams close by signing our shared promises – tangible reminders of our reset.
What You’ll Take Away
It isn’t about performance. It is about presence.
You’ll leave with:
 A clearer understanding of what led to the difficult moment.

 Shared learnings from the experience.
 Five real, actionable commitments teams choose together.
 A fresh sense of energy—and direction.

Why This Matters
Every team hits moments like this. The mistake is thinking they’re supposed to push through
them alone or pretend they don’t matter.
This experience reminds teams that some of the most powerful forward motion begins in a
pause – with honesty, reflection, and renewed commitment.
If your team could use a reset, I highly recommend this kind of space. It’s not just about
recharging – it’s about remembering why you started in the first place.
