“WITHIN facilitated a powerful and creative Leadership Workshop for us, centred around delivering results through the formation of powerful connections. Feedback from the session was incredibly positive, particularly around the practical focus, tangible takeaways and interactive structure of the sessions.”
Ben Pearson, Partner & Business Lead at John Lewis Partnership

Why WITHIN?

  • Relationship-focused: participants leave not only with new skills but stronger relationships.

  • Simple and clear concepts: the team will come away with a range of tools they can apply straight away.

  • By leaders for leaders: all sessions are designed and run by business leaders with deep expertise leading teams in professional service organisations.

  • Learning by doing: highly engaging training with the opportunity to practise and apply lessons in the moment.

  • Impact, impact, impact: we pride ourselves on generating results and actually changing behaviour.

Challenges we’ve solved…

  • Strengthening relationships between two leadership teams that merged after a restructure

  • Creating a stronger feedback culture by equipping managers with tools and techniques for more effective conversations

  • Teaching managers how to balance empathy with accountability to build high-performing teams

  • Defining the growth plan for a stagnating business-line and ensuring every team member is clear on their role in making it happen

  • A ‘walkshop’ with an Exec Leadership Team to teach a new way of listening and deepen peer relationships

“I was apprehensive about how WITHIN would create a space where everyone felt able to contribute and engage. Felix and Phil struck the perfect balance of pushing people outside their comfort zones, while also ensuring that they felt safe to speak openly and honestly.”

Jason Ward, MD, FoxRock Properties

Aligning all departments behind a single vision

FoxRock Properties is one of Boston’s fastest-growing commercial real-estate firms, with a diverse portfolio of properties comprising over 5 million square feet of office space. We asked Jason Ward, MD of FoxRock, what it was like working with WITHIN.

What problem were you trying to solve?
Last year was a tough year in the commercial property management industry. Our teams worked hard and enabled us to achieve some hard-won victories, but they need to do it again this year. So I commissioned WITHIN to run a full-day session with our entire team to set us up for success. I wanted them to lay the foundations for us to start the year as 'one team' rather than individual departments with individual goals.

What was it like working with WITHIN?
I've sat through a lot of all-hands meetings. The toughest nut to crack in these settings is authenticity. WITHIN brought fresh thinking and contagious energy to the session, but most importantly they were real and made themselves vulnerable when that was crucial to getting the buy-in of my team. WITHIN’s session felt different to any team-building I’ve been part of - authentic, commercial, and focused on achieving impact.

What was the impact of the work?
Our team of 40 left the WITHIN workshop buzzing. I can feel the energy and momentum continuing as different teams start collaborating to deliver on commitments made during our time together:

  • 96% agreed “Today helped me feel more part of the team at FoxRock”

  • 96% agreed “Today helped me feel more confident about FoxRock in 2024”

  • 92% agreed “Today strengthened the relationships I have with my colleagues”

  • “The Walkhop with WITHIN on Hampstead Heath was the highlight of our Executive Learning Offsite. So simple and yet so powerful!”

    HRD, L'Oréal Professional Products Division

  • “This workshop made my day and my week! It provided tons of inspiration and prompts to review, think and structure communication patterns, with a big focus on listening, an important and crucial part of our role."

    Head of Operations, Healthcare Consultancy CDM

  • “The session provided a wonderful moment to pause and consider how I can be more effective or help others be more effective in their day-to-day interactions.”

    Chief Strategy Officer, TPN

  • "I loved how simple it was to participate, try out the new techniques, and how immediate the impact was!"

    Organization Design Partner, Aviva

  • “I look at the techniques we learned as keys to getting really close to people quickly.”
