Discovery Phase & Workshop Kit
GET THE OVERVIEW:
The Discovery Workshop
-
Everything we do is data-driven. As the first step in our process, we use our proprietary survey and validated care and connection metrics to uncover the potential for more connection in your organization.
This baseline, discussion-based workshop reviews these metrics with your team, where small-group discussions will dive deep into the trends and scenarios where employees may not feel seen, acknowledged, and validated — and build awareness for the case for caring leadership in this new era of work.
From there, we’ll use the insights gathered from both the survey, workshop, and over-arching goals of the team/organization to generate a targeted action plan for your team.
-
Supportive Culture Pre-Survey: Using our proprietary survey and validated care and connection metrics, we’ll anonymously collect data to get a temperature read on the climate of care and connectedness in their personal and professional lives.
Discovery Insights Presentation: This presentation will unveil how the workplace paradigm has radically shifted and how the role of the leader must transform with it. We will cover the science behind the importance of supportive care and connection while weaving in the data from your organization’s pre-workshop survey.
Think Sprints, Group Discussion, & Strategy: Small group discussion of the trends and situations where others may not feel seen, acknowledged, and validated —and solutions to address these scenarios.
Supportive Culture Scorecard: A comprehensive Scorecard with your data and findings will be presented to leadership and consultive meeting to determine a targeted action plan and next steps.
-
Awareness of why developing skills to overcome our barriers are so important to building connections, trust, and resilience.
Awareness of the processes and tools that lead to increased employee and client well-being, better collaboration, and increased productivity.
Seeds will be planted for strengthened relationships and communities within your teams and the organization as a whole.
A targeted action plan to address the building blocks of human flourishing.
What You’ll Need:
The Essentials
Discovery Presentation Deck - A grab-and-go deck for the Discovery Workshop. The emphasis of these presentations is less on the “how-to” of the skill and more on why we need supportive care—as well as unlocking and unpacking each group’s data and insights.
OR:
Sample Presentation Deck - A grab-and-go presentation deck. Great if you’re short on time and need a quick deck, or want to look at examples for how to structure a presentation.
Presentation Slide Bank - Build your own deck! 150+ branded slides available to choose from for your group/presentation’s needs.
The Discovery Workshop Follow-Up OIR Template - A extra, optional resource for the Discovery Workshop to organize your thoughts when prepping for a follow-up call with leadership. This is a template worksheet to jot down your observations from the workshop, insights you have regarding the group/org, and recommendations for future programming. You can share this with them, or use it as a brainstorming document.
Printable PAUSE Filter - While the main point of the Discovery Workshop is to explain the “why” behind Showing Up, it’s always good to leave behind a simple lesson. This takeaway handout of the PAUSE Filter does the trick!
You May Also Want to Look At:
Reference Links for Networking & More - Whether you’re sharing in the body of a follow-up email, sending a text to a friend who’s interested, or want to check something out yourself, here’s a comprehensive list of important links when it comes to our work (i.e. website, LI page).
Qualification Call Guide - So you have an initial conversation scheduled with a potential client. Great job! Now what? Remember: first meetings are about the client’s needs—all you have to do is listen and work with them to think about how you could best support them based on what you can offer (not unlike the very skill we’re teaching here!). Download our guide for a step-by-step guide and sample questions.
Sample Workplace Scorecard - If a client (workplace) needs to see an example of a Scorecard.
Sample College/University Scorecard - If a client (university) needs to see an example of a Scorecard.
Showing Up Programs & Workshops Flyer Pack - A comprehensive flyer pack of all our workshops! Also available as a flipbook.
Leadership Insights Briefing Flyer - Great for networking with leaders. Updated for 2025.
Pricing Guidelines - Your answer to the question “what do I charge?” Ultimately, it’s up to you: but we have some suggestions and tiered options for all kinds of programs—whether you’re a seasoned vet of this work or just starting out.
Request Assessments & Pre-Surveys
Proprietary data collection is a foundational core of our work. We use Alchemer*, a survey platform software, to survey and assess individuals, groups, and organizations. For the Discovery Phase & Workshop, we typically collect data from our proprietary Supportive Culture Scorecard. It is also ideal to send an evaluation after. Use our form below to request materials!

Foreword by Dr. John Draper, Director of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, Vibrant
How do we “show up” for coworkers, friends, classmates, family, acquaintances, and even strangers when we are all struggling?
Experts in the mental health field are recognizing that we do indeed need each other. We can’t self-care our way out of this. It takes intentional connection – the reciprocal relationships within our homes, workplaces, schools, neighborhoods, and communities — to ultimately bring about our emotional resilience.
Showing Up breaks it all down. It uncovers the behaviors that get us off track and outlines the science of how human care works. It equips individuals, leaders, and organizations to break through the Awkward Zone™ so that people in your life know that you care. Filled with evidence-based tools and strategies, as well as touching stories, this book is a guide to bringing strength and hope to others and ourselves.
