In January 2025, we had the privilege of conducting a series of transformative workshops designed and facilitated by our lead trainer, Mr. Edwin Ebreo. These workshops brought together teams eager to grow, collaborate, and apply new skills to real-world challenges. Each session reflected our commitment to creating meaningful learning experiences, blending structured frameworks with interactive activities. Here’s a quick look-back at some of the highlights from one of our signature workshops.

Built on foundational models like John Maxwell’s 5 Levels of Leadership and Situational Leadership Theory, it featured team development exercises, performance improvement plans, and action-oriented activities. Participants gained the ability to apply leadership frameworks, manage performance effectively, and develop empowered teams ready to drive organizational success.

2. Logical, Critical, and Creative Thinking Workshop

This workshop introduced participants to essential thinking models aimed at improving problem-solving, logical reasoning, and creative thinking. Rooted in structured approaches such as inductive and deductive logic and the innovative SCAMPER method, the program included engaging activities like the Moon Landing Dilemma and mental model exercises. Guided by the 4 Hats of Creative Problem Solving, participants developed strategies to apply structured and creative thinking in practical workplace situations.

3. Strengthening Emotional Intelligence

This workshop helped participants master self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management based on Daniel Goleman’s emotional intelligence model. Through activities like emotional journaling, self-assessment exercises, and role-playing scenarios, attendees developed skills to regulate their emotions and empathize with others. With tools such as the Emotional Bank Account and the GROW model for conflict resolution, participants left equipped to navigate emotional challenges and build stronger workplace relationships.
