THE DIFFERENCE
MOST TEAM BUILDING IS ENTERTAINMENT DISGUISED AS DEVELOPMENT.
The typical corporate team-building experience: everyone travels to some adventure park, does something mildly uncomfortable together, has a few laughs, and returns to the office on Monday exactly as disconnected as before.
Higher Plane Teams is different. These exercises come from 20+ years of running a professional performance company—where collaboration isn't a nice-to-have, it's survival. When three performers share a stage, trust and listening aren't abstract concepts. They're the difference between art and disaster.
The same exercises that made our company internationally renowned for non-hierarchical collaboration now work for corporate teams. Same intensity. Same immediate results. Adapted for your meeting room.
THE ORIGIN
BORN FROM A PERFORMANCE COMPANY THAT REFUSED TO WORK LIKE EVERYONE ELSE
For over two decades, I co-directed an internationally touring performance company with two other artists. No hierarchy. No director barking orders. Three equals creating work together night after night.
That kind of collaboration doesn't happen by accident. We developed a rigorous series of exercises to keep pushing our collaboration deeper—exercises that have now been taught to thousands of participants in over 35 countries, aged 7 to 81.

WHAT TEAMS GET
VISIBLE IMPROVEMENTS BY THE END OF ONE SESSION
Not vague promises of "better communication."
Concrete skills your team can apply Monday morning.
👂
DEEP LISTENING
Most people wait to talk. These exercises force genuine listening—the kind where you respond to what was actually said, not what you planned to say.
🤝
EMBODIED TRUST
Not trust falls. Trust built through shared creative risk—the kind that transfers directly to project collaboration and difficult conversations.
⚡
RESPONSIVE COLLABORATION
The ability to build on each other's contributions in real-time. No more ideas dying in committee—teams learn to develop together.
🎯
NON-HIERARCHICAL FLOW
When the junior developer has the best idea, the room needs to recognize it. These exercises level playing fields without undermining structure.
💬
HONEST COMMUNICATION
Exercises that require truth-telling in low-stakes environments—building the muscle for high-stakes conversations that actually matter.
🔥
SHARED MOMENTUM
The experience of creating something together that none could create alone. Teams leave with a reference point for what's possible.

THE PROCESS
HOW IT WORKS
01
DISCOVERY CALL
We discuss your team's current dynamics, challenges, and goals. I learn what's working and what's stuck. This shapes which exercises we'll use.
02
CUSTOM DESIGN
I select and sequence exercises specifically for your team's needs. No generic programs—every workshop is calibrated for your context.
03
DELIVERY
I come to your space (anywhere in the world) or we work virtually (only when that makes sense). Your team experiences the exercises together, building in real-time.
04
INTEGRATION
A thoroughly curated debrief illuminates what happened and why it matters. Teams leave with specific insights they can apply immediately.

We've done escape rooms, we've done cooking classes, we've done the whole circuit. This was the first team building that actually changed how we work together. Three months later, we're still using what we learned.
