People and teams are unique so we will work with you to design and deliver a workshop approach that best fits you, your team, offsite or corporate team building event.

The Gallup CliftonStrengths assessment is a powerful tool that helps individuals discover their natural talents and their ways of thinking, feeling and behaving as a unique individual.

It isn’t until people know what makes them talented and unique that they know how to perform better in their job, lead teams to excellence and build strong lasting relationships. These talents are the foundation of Strengths development.

The Gallup CliftonStrengths assessment is a powerful tool that helps individuals discover their natural talents and their ways of thinking, feeling and behaving as a unique individual.

CliftonStrengths empowers people to thrive in their life, their work and their relationships. Not only will individuals increase their self awareness, they will also understand and appreciate the talents of those in the team and around them. This appreciation helps teams mitigate conflict, avoid dysfunction, improve performance and best work together to attain of goals of the team.

A Strengths-based team is a group of imperfect but talented contributors who are valued for their strengths and who need one another to realize individual and team excellence.

Members of Strengths-based teams are aware of each other’s talent filters, they understand how each person is inclined to think, act and feel.

This awareness helps the team navigate the issues all teams encounter. They understand how the team can best work together to accomplish its goals and performance objectives.

Whether you’re an individual looking to improve, a leader wanting to empower people to perform better CliftonStrengths focuses on helping people do what they naturally do best, every single day. It helps people learn how to play to their strengths and empower them to be the absolute best version of themselves they can be.

The HBDI®

The Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument® (HBDI®) is the world’s leading Thinking Styles assessment tool. It identifies your preferred approach to emotional, analytical, structural and strategic thinking. It also provides individuals with a significantly increased level of personal understanding.

The HBDI was developed by Ned Herrmann in the 1970s. More than 3 decades of research and innovation stand behind the validity of the HBDI. Over 2.5 million people worldwide have undergone HBDI analysis and it is used by over 97% of all Fortune 100 companies.

Where most assessments end with a single report, the HBDI offers a valuable range of reports and applications. Identifying your individual thinking preferences is only the first step on your journey to enhancing the cognitive diversity of your teams.

Whole Brain® Thinking will change how you view your own thinking preferences and show how you can relate more effectively to those around you. Because thinking influences everything you do, you must understand your thinking to apply it for better productivity, communication, collaboration and innovation.

Everybody thinks differently, but few organisations are able to leverage cognitive diversity as a strategic advantage. The ways individuals think, guide how they work. The ways groups of individuals think, guide how the teams they form work. The way groups of teams think and work can make or break the success of the organisation.

To put it plainly, the success of an initiative depends on the ability of its management teams to drive communication, innovation, and productivity within and across functions. In 40 years of working with Fortune 100 clients, we’ve found that understanding and applying diversity of thought is the key to strategic success.

The Whole Brain® Model is a time tested framework to decode and harness cognitive diversity of individuals, teams, and organisations.

We offer customized HBDI Workshops.

What our clients say about The Open Space experience

The Open Space has been my “go-to” to deliver high impact, engaging training programs throughout my years as a L&D professional in financial services & retail. Sarah and Holly are quick to understand ever evolving business and people dynamics and translate them into practical and fun learning experiences across a diverse range of topics, audiences and delivery methods. As a L&D professional, they are a pleasure to work with and as a participant, I still remember (and use!) what I have learned from The Open Space.

Holly was engaging and was able to relate the content to our business throughout. She used many examples and practical exercises.

9/10. Sarah is full of energy, resourceful and well prepared. She actively engaged us even though it was delivered on Zoom.

Sarah has a very good knowledge of what she is teaching. She gave ample examples for participants to better understand the various topics.

Holly is an excellent coach who has helped me shift my thinking and behaviours to deliver my goals. I would highly recommend her.
