Professional Development

Transform your school environment through this immersive team-building workshop centered on the CHOOSE LOVE formula—Courage, Gratitude, Forgiveness, and Compassion.

Designed specifically for education teams, this interactive experience strengthens authentic connections among staff while providing practical tools for daily implementation.

You’ll leave with a shared vocabulary for nurturing vulnerability, recognition, and empathy that directly enhances both staff relationships and student outcomes.

The Heart of the TEAM: Where Culture Meets Connection

Every exceptional school shares one critical foundation: a united team operating from a place of trust, mutual appreciation, and shared purpose. Yet in the demanding world of education, creating this environment often feels elusive amid competing priorities and daily challenges.

This transformative workshop addresses the heart of successful school communities by integrating the powerful CHOOSE LOVE formula—Courage, Gratitude, Forgiveness, and Compassion—into tangible team practices that reshape your school culture from the inside out.

What Makes This Experience Different:
Unlike conventional team-building that creates temporary enthusiasm, this workshop delivers a sustainable framework built on neuroscience and emotional intelligence. Through three carefully crafted experiential modules, your team will progress from vulnerability to recognition to compassionate action.

Your Journey Through CHOOSE LOVE:

Courage & Vulnerability: Building Trust Through Brave Spaces
Discover how sharing authentic experiences creates psychological safety. Through guided storytelling activities, team members reveal personal moments of courage, compassion, gratitude, and forgiveness—establishing deeper connections that transcend typical workplace interactions.
This foundation of vulnerability becomes the bedrock for genuine collaboration.

Gratitude & Recognition: Celebrating Strengths and Contributions
Experience the transformative power of appreciation as your team engages in activities that highlight individual strengths and contributions. The innovative “Gratitude Garden” activity creates both immediate connection and lasting visual reminders of each person’s unique value
to the community, addressing the universal need for recognition that drives engagement and retention.

Compassion in Action: Working Together with Understanding
Develop enhanced empathy through perspective-taking exercises that illuminate the experiences of students, parents, colleagues, and your future selves. These powerful shifts in viewpoint cultivate the emotional intelligence needed to navigate challenging situations, reduce conflict, and foster collaborative problem-solving across departments and roles.

Benefits Your Team Will Experience:

• Immediate strengthening of interpersonal trust and communication
• Reduced workplace tension through enhanced understanding of different perspectives
• Practical vocabulary for addressing challenges with courage and compassion

Who This Workshop Serves:
This experience is designed for complete school teams—administrators, teachers, support staff, and specialists. The greatest impact occurs when diverse roles participate together, creating shared understanding across traditional boundaries. No prior experience with CHOOSE LOVE is required; beginners and experienced practitioners alike will gain valuable insights.

Transform your school’s culture by investing in the heart of what matters most—the human connections that sustain your educational community through both challenges and triumphs. The CHOOSE LOVE approach provides the framework; your team brings it to life.
