- Strategic clarity to accelerate decision-making and execution
- Enhanced team cohesion built through genuine connections
- Improved communication across departments and hierarchies
- Renewed energy and commitment to shared objectives
Why it matters
In a world of constant urgency, most people rarely stop long enough to ask:
What really matters? Where are we going? Are we aligned?
Whether your team is navigating change, burnout, growth, or simply want to reconnect — these facilitated experiences offer space to pause, recalibrate, and re-energise.
When we make time to pause, we learn to listen to the wisdom beyond the mind, beyond reaction to the external, and beyond conditioned thinking.

- Leadership teams and founders

- Boards of directors and executive committees
- Start-up teams navigating rapid growth

How does it work?
Each Workshop Includes
The Outcome
Your Team Receives Far More Than A Few Hours Away From Daily Operations.
They’ll leave with clarity about what matters and how to contribute in a meaningful way.
One Degree is an immersive experience that balances self-reflection, learning and play. This leads to a renewed sense of clarity to live with greater intention, ease, and joy.
When your team pauses, disengage from the pressures of hustle culture and reconnects at a deeper level, they create space to unpack questions such as:
Where are we going? Where do we want to be?
Who do I need to become to get my team there?
For teams, this process cultivates authentic alignment that transforms organisational performance.
Business outcomes include:
- Strategic clarity to accelerate decision-making and execution
- Enhanced team cohesion built through genuine connections
- Improved communication across departments and hierarchies
- Renewed energy and commitment to shared objectives
“Quieten the noise and tune out life's many distractions in order to actually hear what our hearts have been telling us for years.”
Jim Hughes founder of Untamed
One Degree creates space for your team to be authentic, creative, and productive.
