Third Nature at Work

Shared experiences designed to help your team thrive

Feel more connected,
engaged, and fulfilled at work

Rapid changes in the ways we work are leaving many people feeling disconnected from the organizations they’re a part of, the people they work with, and their own inner wisdom. For organizations that aren’t able to adapt, it will become harder to attract, motivate, engage, and retain your people.

At Third Nature, our team of expert experience designers and facilitators create interactive workshops, trainings, and retreats that empower individuals to feel more connected – and in turn, more engaged and fulfilled – at work.

We have 10 years of experience creating and leading programs for:

Companies

like Duolingo, UBS, MANTL, AbleTo, Dorm Room Fund, and more

Impact-focused non-profits

like Experience Camps, The Diamond Challenge, New York Cares, Philly Startup Leaders, and Venture For America

Higher education institutions

like the University of Delaware, Kenyon College, MIT, Yale, the University of Michigan, Penn State, Drexel, Northeastern, Babson, and more.

Team Development Workshops

To give your people the Third Nature experience, we recommended starting with one of the following workshops:

Being Third Nature

We believe that the more you feel like your authentic self when engaging in your work, the more energizing your work becomes.

This workshop helps individuals become more aware of their unique lived experience, strengths, and values, in order to show up more authentically and contribute more intentionally in service of the teams they’re a part of.

Cultivating A Culture of
Co-Creation

Transform your workplace into a co-created experience, where everyone is a proactive participant in the betterment of the organization as a whole.

This workshop includes exercises that will get your people flexing their creativity muscles. We’ll impart tools to help navigate creative tension, and give everyone more confidence to take initiative in innovative ways.

Summer Camp At Work

The work you do is serious business. But when you make time for play and carve out space for freedom and spontaneity, you make room for creativity and connection to emerge. That’s what Summer Camp is all about.

During this workshop, we’ll create an experience that will make your people feel like they’re at camp – even if we’re actually at your company headquarters, or even on Zoom.

Think team building and pure fun.

All of the above workshops can be led virtually or in person. We recommend 90 minutes for each.

Unlocking Leadership Training

A more immersive experience that catalyzes transformative change for your people and culture.

Build a work environment where…

And your people…

Feel safe, inspired, and empowered.
Are more creative in their thinking, clear in their communication, and motivated in their action.
Take initiative, contribute proactively, and do what they say they’re going to do.
Support themselves, others, and the organization as a whole.

How we do it

The Four Pillars Of Third Nature Leadership

Unlocking Collective Wisdom

The leadership of the future will depend on leaders being able to unlock the knowledge, wisdom, and creativity of their people and teams to navigate near-constant changes. This module teaches you practical techniques to do just that, and be the best for your team as opposed to the best on your team.

Safety & Structure

The highest performing teams have cultures of high psychological safety, where every team member – regardless of background, identity, and level of experience, feels like they can speak their mind fully and contribute meaningfully. This module introduces ways in which leaders can nurture that kind of culture.

Mindfulness

With days that are often filled with back-to-back meetings, it’s imperative for leaders to find ways to ground themselves in order to act intentionally – not react impulsively. This module imparts tools to pause and notice what’s happening on your team in order to choose an intentional response. We include lessons on centering and grounding exercises, and how to shift the energy for in-person or virtual teams.

Authentic Self Expression

No one can be a better you, than you. This module will help you understand what makes the work environment you co-create with your team unique. When you embody your unique differentiators, you will attract the right people and create your biggest impact. At its core, we believe that leadership is about showing up authentically in service of others.

How we Integrate it

Culture Design

Once you’ve experienced the Four Pillars of Third Nature Leadership, our Culture Design module will help you:

Develop tangible frameworks and strategies to design a more connected, purpose-driven, empowering, and collaborative workplace culture.
Flex your creativity muscle and generate unique ideas for team meetings, retreats, offsites, and other events.
Gain hands-on experience applying the learnings from Foundations, and receive feedback from supportive facilitators & peers.
Refine your organizational core values to serve as a compass for future decision making, hiring, and culture building.
Transform your workplace into a vehicle for personal, professional, and collective growth.

The Third Nature Unlocking Leadership Training will help you build a more connected organization that’s not just ready, but excited to adapt to the changing times.
