Creating Performance Workshops combine creativity with leadership psychology. Build resilience, trust and collaboration through hands-on making sessions that turn leadership theory into practice.
B Corp™ Certified | Based in Scholar Green, Cheshire | Delivered across the UK
Our workshops offer a fresh approach to leadership and development — combining hands-on creativity with proven business psychology to create learning experiences that truly last.
Led by Emma Semper Hopkins (Creative Facilitator from SHUI) and Sarah Clarke (Business Psychologist, Think Organisation), these sessions help leaders and teams develop self-awareness, resilience, and collaboration in a practical, memorable way.
You won’t just talk about leadership — you’ll experience it. Through upholstery or leathercraft, participants step out of their comfort zones, build confidence together, and leave with both new skills and a tangible reminder of what they’ve achieved.
Practical & Reflective – Your team learns by doing, developing creative thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills that translate back into work.

Psychologically Safe – A supportive environment where teams feel comfortable experimenting, sharing ideas, and building trust.
No Prep Needed – Every detail is handled for you, so your team can arrive ready to learn, create, and connect.
