We are delighted that Pam has now completed The Workshop Book second edition which is packed with new wisdom and practical tips to help you supercharge your workshops! Launching Dec 2024
It can be hard to measure ROI on team building. Which is why we appreciate it when our clients share the immediate, positive impact our Supercharged Teams experiences have on their teams' performance. #superchargedteams #ROI paraffin.ltd
Albert Einstein said 'The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination' At Paraffin we believe that collective intelligence and imagination is the fuel that drives business success. Our core expertise lies in harnessing and channelling #collectiveintelligence
Skills change, but capabilities endure. Capability transformation takes time, but the results can be critical for your long term business success. A Paraffin we partner with you to deliver disruptive learning journeys that fuel your transformation and build capability that lasts
As organisations change from traditional hierarchies to complex network structures, where collaboration and trust are key to performance, all leaders need to be able to engage and harness the energy and support of multiple stakeholders.
In the dynamic, ever-evolving business world that our clients occupy, the team at Paraffin understand that change is inevitable. That's why it is so important to be agile in our response, so that we deliver with impact every time.#agilityinbusiness#clientsuccess
We were privileged and inspired, for #IWD2024, to join the PEAS (Promoting Equality in African Schools) leadership team yesterday and hear how they transform the lives of thousands of girls by providing access to secondary education. Proud to support this work!
Every Paraffin co-creation sprint is designed to meet our clients' specific needs, however challenging and complex. That's what makes our jobs so interesting, and so rewarding when we get great feedback like this!
Often when we run a consumer connect or co-creation session, where our clients speak directly to their consumers, in person or on line, the impact is so powerful that someone asks "why on earth don't we do this more often?"
Check out this 2min film showing some of our immersive experiences and the positive impact we have created for our clients. vimeo.com/872702401/af13…
With our team’s experience both in TV and consumer insights we love creating engaging immersive experiences to bring our consumers' world to life for our clients. Here's an example of some recent feedback that made us smile! #immersiveexperiences #consumerworlds
Check out our latest 2min read on how we create multi-sensory immersive experiences to help teams to get beyond the data, walk in the shoes of their consumers, leaving a profound imprint on the minds and hearts of participants. paraffin.ltd/curated-consum…
We need to really consider how we are using each other's time and make meetings better - starting by how we make use of team meetings. How about doing a Take Back Time workshop for your team with Paraffin? #TikTok vm.tiktok.com/ZGehWEkc4/
We came across this picture of the team from 2019, a throw back to before Covid times :). Very happy that we have so many of the same fantastic Paraffin people on the team - and a lot more too. Time for a new Paraffin photo for 2024....
We are proud that our Capability Effectiveness is so good, but also that we make the project FEEL so good for everyone involved.
Collaboration overload is real - we are asked to join far more teams than we ever were before. The thing is, time management is not an individual task, it's a team effort. Join our free course tomorrow at 1pm on 'Take Back Your Time' learning.oreilly.com/live-events/ta…
It's no coincidence that 3 different clients have just come back to us years later to say they are still using our workshop training, and it's still successful for any type of workshop they need to lead.
We have always looked to experts and extreme users for inspiration to fuel and inspire our Innovation Sprints. Here’s our latest article on how to do this inspired by @helenedw’s book ‘From Marginal to MAINSTREAM’ paraffin.ltd/marginal-to-ma…
Many of our clients come back to work with us again and again because our Capabilty work really works!

Old friend was "taking time out to maybe write a book. I asked him how it was going. Him: 'Haven't started it yet. Can't be that hard though. You've done it a couple of times haven't you? Not rocket science. I'll probably knock one out in a week or so.' #WritingCommunity
Could your company benefit from a creative sprint??
Every Paraffin co-creation sprint is designed to meet our clients' specific needs, however challenging and complex. That's what makes our jobs so interesting, and so rewarding when we get great feedback like this!
Our mission is to develop the learnings that will enable us to transcend the paradigm to deliver transformative change in an ever-evolving societal universe that endures too many lasting inequities.
As 2024 begins, we wish you an abundance of happiness and health throughout the year. And not forgetting a high amount of #CI! #HappyNewYear
This Christmas ad for a pub in Enniskillen is better than anything John Lewis has ever put out
Today is Giving Tuesday, a global initiative that that simply encourages people to do good. You could give back by playing Portsmouth Community Lottery - 60% of ticket sales go directly to support local good causes! portsmouthlottery.co.uk
We’re working towards ending violence against women and girls in our workplace and community. This #WhiteRibbonDay we are commited to #ChangeTheStory for women and girls to live their lives free from the fear of harassment, abuse and violence. bit.ly/3pHfnDx
Great idea :)
Instead of having a big, boring conference full of powerpoint presentations, why not bring big team together to discuss innovation strategy and brand activation with energy, activity, AI and a bit of fun!? And do some team building in the process :)
Great news for the city 🙌

This is our time to act. Or at least it will be following our months-long iterative visioning and planning process.
Somewhere on the playa there is a facilitator incorporating mud metaphors into a guided meditation
Team building exercise: It's Burning Man 2023 and the playa has flooded. Using only this bag of marshmallows and 10 sticks of dried spaghetti, illustrate how your camp survives for the next 3 - 5 days.
The agenda I design vs. the conversation the group is ready to have
If you don't believe in soulmates, what do you call the person you phone from the bathroom stall when the morning session goes completely off the rails & you need a pep talk AND redesign advice??
We're delighted that a preloved school uniform collection point has been set up once more at the Fratton Tesco Extra, collecting for our Uniform Share Store. If you have good quality items of school uniform your children have outgrown, please consider dropping them off 😀
Breathe in: everyone's voice is heard in the room... Breathe out: one annoying person trying to dominate the conversation
As a facilitator, I really appreciated the role that sticky dots played in tonight's #Succession finale. 🟣
