group classes
Mandel Creative’s fun, interactive classes give participants practical techniques they can apply immediately to power up their creative collaboration and communication skills:
provide, solicit, and learn from critical feedback
engage in critical conversations across power dynamics
disrupt biased behavior at work and be an effective ally
counter groupthink and other common “collaboration killers” that drain the effectiveness of technical and creative teams (especially the friendliest ones!)
collaborate effectively in hybrid or all-remote work situations
All of our classes include embedded learning activities you can engage in, to bring the techniques you’re learning out of the theoretical realm and into active use in your daily work.
1:1 coaching
Clients come to Billie and Josh’s 1:1 coaching practice for support in transformation — individual contributors growing their influence and career trajectory while maintaining authenticity and sanity, people leaders defining success and satisfaction criteria for their “second act,” startup leaders building their team, practices and culture sustainably, to attract and retain diverse talent and their motivation.
We commit to our clients’ growth and development one season at a time, and ask you to do the same. We partner with you to assess your goals, commitments, habits and obstacles for the season, to look honestly at tradeoffs and decisions so you can make intrinsically-motivated, meaningful progress.
1:1 clients get two one-hour coaching sessions each month, plus access to “triage coaching,” advice and feedback between sessions.
small group and team coaching and training
Want to give your growing technical, creative or cross-functional team some fresh communication skills to boost their collaborative effectiveness while working hybrid or remotely? Got a newly-forming leadership team that’s not yet on the same page with strategy, shared language, or shared vision? Or a team of people who like each other a lot, but keep delivering lackluster results?
Mandel Creative will design a custom program that’s just the right blend of group instruction, facilitated learning activities, and synchronous group coaching for your team (of ~5-500) to make meaningful progress on its goals this season.
facilitation and workshop development
Planning a team offsite for your department or leadership team? Need to have a challenging conversation about roadmap and prioritization between individuals or teams with disparate interests? Or do you need a strong yet impartial voice to hold space for debate and nudge a group of leaders that is reticent to make a decision?
We will design and deliver the right facilitated activities to take your group from dissent to decision.
