Shift Workshops
See the Power of Play
Companies see the benefits of bringing the power of play to the workspace. Shift creates more than organizational change, it creates change from within. Shift allows employees to go deep - within themselves - to see why they think and act the way they do. Shift is now being used by Human Resource Departments, Organizational Development Managers, and Executive Coaches to facilitate team development and organizational learning. More than change management, the game asks employees what it would take to Shift and make your move.
Shift currently offers your organization 1 hour, 3 hour or 8 hour workshops. All are customized to meet your needs and timeframe.

Jeannette and Shoshee,
I want to thank each of you for giving of your time and expertise to present the Shift game to my class. The results were rather amazing. My students are in the JEP program because they are expelled from the county high schools and are also on probation and court ordered to be in some educational setting. They are not the ideal student group and usually do not respond real well to strangers and new ideas. Their response to the Shift game and to your facilitating of the game was surprising and much more positive than I had expected.
Accepting responsibility for their behavior is not a strong point of my students and yet, while participating in the Shift game they were willing to accept their actions and speak about them in an open and honest way. They did not revert to their usual method of blaming others for their situation. I must add that your excellence in facilitating also helped them feel comfortable and accepted enough to speak as freely as they did. I do know that facilitating a group of teenage “at risk” students in something new and personally challenging to them is not the easiest task. Your facilitation skills with this group were outstanding.
What most impressed me was the discussions concerning the game and what the students learned that happened the next day in our group meeting. The game was the topic of discussion. Two major themes of the game (Thoughts create reality and Thoughts effect others) came up in the discussion often. Also a few of the students have become aware of the concept of how their perception of something becomes a reality and that changing that perception can create a different reality.
In summary, the effects of the game on my students amaze me. In classroom such as mine it can be an excellent tool to begin to introduce the ideas of how perception can be changed and how thoughts and behaviors affect others. The students have asked for you both to come back and facilitate another session. Believe me this is high praise and acceptance of Shift and of your skill and professionalism as facilitators.
Thank You for an interesting and educational presentation. I am looking forward to the next Shift Circle.
