03. Culture & Feedback

We build cultures where people speak up, give honest feedback, and address tension early, using applied psychology and experiential methods that translate directly into daily behavior.

Services: Feedback workshops with actors, Feedback culture programs, Psychological safety assessment

Typical client problems:

  • “People don’t speak up or challenge decisions”
  • “Feedback is avoided or becomes personal”
  • “Our culture values openness, but behavior doesn’t follow”
  • "We need help navigating cultural and personality differences in communication, decision-making and feedback."

Discover how we help teams speak up, give better feedback, and build the kind of culture where people can challenge each other, learn, and grow together.

01

Feedback Workshops at Datasnipper

We delivered Feedback Workshops for the whole company of Datasnipper, both face to face in the office and remotely. More challenging, but still doable! We introduced the Psychology behind giving and receiving feedback, and participants practiced challenging feedback cases with an actor in a series of 9 workshops.

Engineering Team Building at SBM Offshore

For SBM Offshore, we get to work with wonderful people from all over the world, helping them strengthen collaboration, communication and leadership. One example? A two-day team-building experience designed around the real challenges the engineering team was facing. We explored the theory behind effective collaboration, used the Culture Map to understand how cultural differences shape the way we work together, and brought real-life challenges into the room. With the help of our professional actors, participants practised conversations and situations that mattered to them; right there, in a safe space to experiment, learn and try a different approach. And because great teamwork takes energy, we added a boxing clinic to the mix! 🥊 A little theory, lots of practice, honest conversations and plenty of energy. That's how we bring psychology to life at Bravely.

Feedback Culture Kick off Day for TonnyMedia

When scaling up, giving and receiving feedback become more and more important to incorporate in your culture. For TonnyMedia, we were invited to their Offsite for a workshop about exactly this! We included energizers outside (build the highest nature tower, anyone?), role play with professional actors where they could bring in their own cases; and ofcourse a keynote about the theory behind it all. A fun and insightful day in the forest!

High Potential Programs

Early Potential Program (EPP)

We have designed this yearly training program for a selected group of Early Potential Employees of SBM. The goal is to boost their professional and personal development in line with the RISE Leadership Principles (internal principles); exposing them to a variety of sources to bring about their potential and make it tangible and usable. We facilitate learning in a variety of ways: through the mind (Knowledge sessions, E-learning), the body (Rugby and Boxing Clinic, Breathwork), cooperation (Reflection exercises in couples and sub-groups), systems and space (Systemic work) and action learning (re-modeling behaviour in role play with training actors).

The Early Potentials are equiped with the tools to build and guide high performing teams, share constructive feedback, communicate across cultures and address difficulties, manage stress levels and create resilience to become a more confident, business oriented and engaging leader, in a healthy company culture.

This year's group is guided by Bravely Trainers: Lisanne van Bunderen, David Soesan, Arathy Hunsel.
