I’d been fruitlessly searching for some quite specific training that would develop my team’s awareness of themselves and their work, and it turned out that I could literally get this ‘next door’ (corny I know, but true)! I had a few coffees with Matt helping me get to the bottom of my team’s needs, and his understanding of working in small creative organisations helped so much with this. The afternoon with the NDB1 team was just amazing. Crucially it was filled with care and consideration, so everyone felt safe and could explore their roles within our team. We all still reflect on the afternoon, and the long-lasting positive impacts on all members of the team.

I can’t tell you how wonderful your team were last night … oh yes I can… they were absolutely fantastic. It was totally perfect for the evening, bringing people out of themselves, shaking up the love, making it a truly communal, and memorable night for everyone. So.Much.Joy

I would thoroughly recommend using NDB1 for your next development day. They provided us with a session on Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging which included some training on the Social Model of Disability followed by a Playback Theatre session to get my team thinking about examples of how they support our customers. The session was absolutely joyous! It was amazing to see the work the team at Explore do literally played back to them in glorious technicolour and to give us the opportunity to reflect on the value we bring to the community. From my perspective it is a unique and safe way for your team to consider how they work and delivered by the nicest group of people you could hope to meet.
