1. We framed the challenge

In a context of rapid growth and multiple new projects at Eurofragance, the Global Branding team was (and still is) particularly in demand. Their manager wanted to help everyone to work better and to develop each team member, to motivate them and to keep them enjoying their work more and more. They also identified a need for team building, to get to know each other better, to stop as a team and reflect on this team, to improve and be more efficient. And to think about how to know, understand better, reflect, make our own and communicate about a particularly strategic project. They also wanted to take advantage of the program to recognize the good work done, including deep, experiential, dynamic and fun interactions. To learn, enjoy and grow personally and as a team.

With the manager and HR, a 2-day offsite workshop was designed to create a unique event and experience, that would anchor the development of the Global Branding team.

2. We co-created

A 2-day offsite workshop was designed and customized 100% to meet the objectives of the Eurofragance team. It included several face-to-face activities and dynamics:
  • Questionaires
  • Emotional, interactive and playful activities (wooden avatar, color profiles with Lego, visual synectic games with photos and emoticons, etc.).
  • DISC methodology with implementation, feedback and interactions.
  • Team coaching
  • Spaces for vision co-creation (mandala exercise)
  • Peer-coaching conversations
  • Role playing to get aware and improve
  • Brainstorming & Mind mapping to reflect on the team's priorities
  • Spaces to relax body and mind with a personalized Qi Gong session and a yoga class.

3. The experience

The team took advantage of this offsite to get out of their daily routine and take perspective. Nothing better than to do it in an authentic place, with calm and serenity and with beautiful views that help to open the body and mind. The Fox House was the ideal place to recharge and connect: https://www.foxhouselife.com/

They were 2 intense days of sharing, opening up, listening, becoming vulnerable, cooperating, talking, understanding each other better, getting closer, disconnecting to reconnect, taking care of each other, getting out of your comfort zone, enjoying, diverging and converging, collaborating and aligning.

The agenda and activities were customized according to the objectives to be worked on, taking advantage of the different spaces in the house to generate different dynamics.

We mixed more playful and fun moments, such as representing and introducing ourselves with a wooden avatar painted by each one of us, with moments of deeper conversations to give feedback or comment on our DISC profiles.

We worked on tips & tricks to improve communication and also opened spaces for conversation with the help of inspiring photos, to be able to comment, disagree, listen and understand each other.

There were also quiet moments to take the time to talk to colleagues and get to know them better, connecting on another level. Mixed with relaxing & connecting activities: the team really enjoyed a 2 hours Qi Gong class with Nicolas and his positive energy, with the sunset and the full moon in the background: https://nicolasdrean.com/


In the end, two days full of interaction and energy, which generated a “wooowww” effect in the team, to start back to school with recharged batteries, a strong sense of teamwork and clear objectives.

Thank you very much, Fabienne for these two amazing days. It's been great to have the opportunity to spend them learning about our strengths and weaknesses together but most importantly sharing them between us. You organized these two days super well and we couldn't have enjoyed it more and be more grateful.”

Definitely, the seminar helped us understand each other more and we are back to work more balanced (mind and body). @Fabienne: You did a superb job organizing, planning and leading the two-day seminar, guiding us through the different activities, and even managing taking pictures during the bus ride (curves included). You made it very dynamic and engaging. Hours passed fast. The yoga session was such an energy booster (with the views, the sun... what a blessing). Also, thanks for your patience! @Nicolas Dréan: Many thanks for the powerful Chi Kung session! It was really dynamic and interesting. Now our challenge is to keep the chi flowing through our bodies. It was a successful and memorable seminar. I'm still in awe of the beautiful house and wonderful views. The location is definitely a hidden gem. Thank you Stéphanie for making this happen and thank you all for making this seminar a memorable experience. This exceeded my expectations and it was a privilege.

Loads of nice words have already been shared and I agree so much about all that has been said. Again, thanks to all of you for being so committed and enthusiastic all along this seminar. It has been full of learnings and surprises for me, be it personal and professional. Fabienne, you are a real red/yellow and I can only say BRAVO to all you have been organizing, also the flow and how much you have kept us entertained and focused. Nicolas San, Qi Gong is amazing, I really enjoyed it and might want to learn more at some stage. Great class, entertaining, fun and focused. Team, thanks for your great participation and engagement, you just rock and soon we will levitate in the office!
