Building Better Teams: A Hands-On Lego Exploration of Personality Styles

In this interactive workshop, participants will explore four distinct personality styles through a fast-paced LEGO-based activity designed to highlight how people think, communicate, and collaborate differently. Using an accessible framework inspired by established personality research, attendees will discover their preferred interaction style and how to work more effectively with those who approach the world differently. Whether you're driven by logic, connection, structure, or spontaneity, this session will provide insight into what makes teams tick and how to build stronger ones.

Key Takeaway Points:
* Discover your dominant interaction style using a simple 4-group personality framework.
* Learn how different types approach problem-solving, communication, and teamwork.
* Recognize potential friction points between personality styles and how to work through them.
* Practice adapting your style to better connect with others in real time.

Choosing to Step Forward When the Ground Is Gone

Fear isn’t limited to crisis or failure. It often appears when we’re standing at the edge of something new and have to decide whether to step forward without knowing how it ends. This keynote explores what happens in moments where certainty disappears and action is still required.

Drawing from his experience as a technology executive and licensed skydiver with over 600 jumps, Joe Wyrwas shares how people learn to move through fear, not eliminate it. Participants learn how hesitation forms, why over-preparation can become avoidance, and how clarity is often created after action, not before it.

This session helps individuals and teams reframe fear as information, build confidence in uncertain environments, and take purposeful steps forward even when outcomes aren’t guaranteed. Practical, grounded, and deeply human, this keynote is ideal for organizations facing change, growth, or inflection points where waiting feels safer than moving.

How to Build Leadership Depth Without Burning Out

Nonprofits and small organizations often run on limited resources, stretched teams, and leaders who feel like they’re carrying all the weight. This session shows leaders how to build capability without adding more hours to their plates. Participants learn how to develop emerging leaders, delegate with clarity, reduce upward delegation, and create a culture where people step up instead of waiting to be rescued. Practical, actionable, and immediately applicable.

Building a Culture Where People Know What to Do and Why It Matters

Most execution problems aren’t performance issues, they’re alignment issues. This session teaches leaders how to communicate expectations clearly, reduce miscommunication friction, and improve follow-through across teams. Using simple frameworks for clarity, shared purpose, and accountability, participants learn how to prevent unnecessary escalation and give people the confidence to act without constant check-ins. Ideal for organizations looking to strengthen coordination and trust.
