Jane Dixon | Global Insights Manager Unilever

“The team engaged better than I could have imagined. The result being more empowered and motivated colleagues.”

Symbia was a total partner from start to finish for the ‘Finding your Purpose’ Workshop discovery session they crafted for my team. Not only did they really ‘get’ what I needed but they were also super fantastic at delivery.

“Symbia’s sessions are perfectly pitched - not too lofty, easy to engage with and the right mix of input and reflection.

The impact on individuals is fabulous to see – wherever you end up at the end of a day with Symbia, it’s a better place to where you started the day. You may feel like you’ve had a kick up the back side, but for sure you’ll have a smile on your face.

"It’s fascinating to see how 125 different people can have such different experiences from the same session."

I definitely had some “mind-blown” moments with realizations like ‘certainty and chaos are both perceptions, they don’t really exist’, ‘don’t try to prove your hypothesis, try to break your hypothesis’. I really felt heard when you said ‘people who like chaos, risk and change react differently to uncertainty. These are people you need to embrace – let them play’. 😃

I am still buzzing from the learning session and thoroughly enjoyed leaning into the chaos! 😉
