At Symbia, we design and deliver leadership workshops that cut through the noise. These are not off-the-shelf trainings or surface-level solutions. They're immersive, interactive sessions tailored to the real challenges your leaders are facing — especially during times of change.
Real Conversations. Practical Tools. Deep Alignment.
We work with senior teams navigating inflection points: new strategies, cultural shifts, evolving priorities, or fresh leadership. These sessions provide a rare chance to pause, reflect, and realign — to clear out what’s no longer serving the team and commit to what comes next.
We blend our experience as former corporate leaders with proven tools from psychology, behaviour science, and systems thinking. The result is an experience that feels energizing, thought-provoking, and genuinely useful — not theoretical or overly polished. It’s the kind of work that unlocks stuck teams, strengthens relationships, and sets strategy into motion.
OUR DIFFERENCE
We don’t tiptoe around hard stuff. We help teams surface unspoken dynamics and work through tension with curiosity and skill. We make it real. Every conversation connects directly to your business context, your goals, and your team’s reality.
We anchor it in mental fitness. Leaders walk away with increased self-awareness, emotional agility, and tools they’ll actually use. We’ve been in your shoes. Every Symbia facilitator has sat at a senior leadership table. We get what it feels like, and we know what it takes
"Symbia understands the definition of partnership, you truly feel a joint effort to get you the perfect outcome you want from the workshop. You'll get what you want and sometimes even better than what you had in mind!"
Louize Khan | Senior Global Marketing Transformation Director

FINDING YOUR NORTH WORKSHOP
OUR WORKSHOP PROCESS
Diagnose
Every engagement begins with a step back. Through a mix of conversations and surveys, we build an objective view of your team and the challenges affecting progress.
Design
From these insights, we work with your team to uncover root challenges and opportunities, then design a bespoke solution tailored to your goals and needs.
Deliver
Sessions shouldn’t be a choice between fun and informative, to be one, they must be both. We get teams talking, thinking, and applying ideas directly to their real work.
Sustain
Change takes time. We help maintain momentum across teams and keep new behaviours alive so impact lasts well beyond the session.
*We usually recommend a multi-day offsite for senior leaders, followed by accountability or development support to embed new habits. A modified version can then be rolled out to wider teams to drive lasting change.
"Jodie was excellent, flexible, able to follow the energy and skillfully work in specific topics that needed to be discussed based on the pre-work survey."
John Dodge | SVP, Supply Chain at Peet's Coffee
"Jodie is an excellent facilitator, well adept at reading the room and flexing where necessary. She connects super well and is very knowledgeable!"
Ainslie Easton | Operating Model Transformation Manager
"Symbia’s approach combines a deep knowledge of ‘ways of working’ in business- and marketing teams, with a perceptive and insightful capacity to understand humans in the working place."
They always come well prepared, often using a blend of stakeholder interviews and Symbia frameworks, to advance everyone’s thinking. Their facilitation skills are enhanced with an incisive eye on group dynamics.
Symbia’s interventions are well thought through, and often hands-on and focused on tangible outcomes, that’s why we’ve worked with them for the last 4 years. They are never afraid to address critical questions, yet always fun and energetic!
Myralda Derks | Chief Customer & Business Intelligence Officer
"A great team, that could help your team to perform even better - talented, experienced and worth the investment."
I believed it was worth the investment because the external facilitator enabled us to finally complete a piece of work that had been missing for years. On top of that, we gained added value through the co-creation of our mission and purpose, as well as the synthesis of stakeholder feedback—all of which would have been difficult to achieve internally within the same timeframe or depth.
