Capitalizing on Kaizen and Kintsugi
If you are looking for a unique spin on professional development, this is the perfect activity!
We use fun and competitive activities that energize your team and unlock a guided conversation about the five principles of Kaizen "continuous improvement" can be applied to your workplace.
We finish the activity with a brief description of the art of Kintsugi, and the powerful metaphor behind celebrating beauty in imperfection; a lesson that rather than hiding the cracks we make something beautiful, bold and strong to celebrate what was broken.
In the workplace, we relate Kintsugi into how we turn a mistake or challenge into an opportunity.
Each participant then has time to create their own Kintsugi art that to take home.
*Japanese fare and beverages can be added to the event for a an additional fee.

Community Give Back Activities
These types of events hold a special place in my heart. I get choked up every time I run one and see the enthusiasm that exists in so many companies to make a difference in the world.
I have been doing this work since 2003 and prior to that I worked in the non-profit sector where I encountered so much need.
There are so many fun and interesting ways to customize and create an activity that fits your company's goals and the personality of your team. We will make it as competitive, fun and interactive as you want and leave the team feeling satisfied and exhilarated because they did something to make the world better.
I would personally love to discuss our different ideas with you and develop an event that really rocks!-Hattie
