ways to work with us

Discover Your Core Values: Workshop

Discover the principles that truly drive your business with our half-day Core Values Workshop. Perfect for teams starting fresh, this session uncovers the values that inspire, unite, and guide your people. Together, we’ll craft authentic, actionable core values that resonate with your team, laying the foundation for a connected workplace and lasting success.

Bring Your Values to Action: Workshop

Turn your values into everyday actions with our interactive workshop. Whether refining existing values or embedding new ones, we’ll help you ensure they’re more than just words. Together, we’ll bring your values to life, making them a celebrated part of your culture and decision-making.

Culture Mapping Assessment + Strategy

Great company cultures don’t happen by chance – they’re built with purpose. Our Culture Mapping Assessment + Strategy starts with uncovering your culture score, team insights, and actionable goals. From there, we’ll create a tailored roadmap for positive change, embedding strategies that drive engagement and long-term success.

90-Day Leadership Framework

Empower your leaders with our 90-Day Leadership Framework, created by HappyHQ x Litmus. Moving beyond outdated annual reviews, this program focuses on clear communication, meaningful goals, and tailored executive coaching. Over three months, we’ll guide your team through leadership development, from launching OKRs to delivering core training and ongoing support. Equip your leaders to inspire, engage, and drive success across your company.

Culture + HR Consultancy

Strengthen your workplace culture with our Culture + HR Consultancy. Over a minimum of three months, we’ll dedicate 6 hours a month to building solid cultural foundations. From crafting your Employee Value Proposition (EVP) to refreshing handbooks, onboarding, DEI initiatives, and more, we’ll align every policy and process with your values. Together, we’ll create a thriving, people-focused workplace.

Culture Training (Culture Cohorts)

Through our four-month culture cohorts, equip your managers, rising stars, or members with the tools to shape and sustain an outstanding workplace culture. In small learning groups of up to 8 people, participants will explore the essentials of building strong cultural foundations. From defining core values to implementing strategies for engagement, hiring, and retention, this program empowers individuals to drive lasting and meaningful change.

HIGH IMPACT COMMS

Whether you’re pitching to clients, leading a meeting, or stepping onto a stage, we’ll help you speak with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Our training blends sharp content coaching with delivery techniques that cut through, so you don’t just sound good, you say something that sticks. From controlling nerves to structuring your message, we equip you to handle tricky questions, simplify complex ideas, and truly own the room.

Alongside practical tools, expert feedback, and tailored support, we also help you align your communication style with your company culture, so every message not only resonates but reinforces who you are and what you stand for. You’ll walk away ready to lead conversations that land and leave a lasting impression.

Leadership Development

We offer two core services to help leaders – and future leaders – lead with clarity, confidence, and impact.

Executive Coaching is for individuals across the business who want to grow their influence, overcome blockers, and lead with more intention. It’s practical, no-fluff support to help people communicate better, handle challenges, and build the confidence to step up. We also help leaders connect their personal style with the broader company values, so their impact feels authentic and aligned.

 

Senior Leadership Support helps leadership teams reset how they work together, improving alignment, decision-making, and trust. We tackle what’s getting in the way and create space for better conversations, stronger collaboration, and more effective leadership at the top. Crucially, we support teams in shaping and sustaining a culture that underpins their shared goals and ways of working.

Team Dynamics

When teams get stuck, it’s often down to how they communicate, collaborate, and make decisions, not just what they’re working on. Our team dynamics workshops tackle this head-on, helping groups work better together and move forward faster. One of the key tools we use is LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®: a hands-on, psychology-backed method that unlocks deeper thinking and sharper alignment. It’s ideal for vision-building, leadership cohesion, and breaking through team friction. But it’s not the only thing we do – we tailor every session to what your team needs, blending methods to drive real, lasting change.
