Phoenix Cups

We incorporate the Phoenix Cups framework into a number of our workshops. This framework draws on research, evidence, and ideas from philosophy, humanistic psychology and positive psychology.

From learning to understand children's behaviour to the behaviour and wellbeing of adults, we can customise something to suit the needs for you and your team.

Educator Wellbeing

Imagine a team building session that gets your whole team thinking clearer, feeling happier, more motivated, and productive. This workshop is run by Christopher Phoenix who discusses wellbeing concepts through various modes of entertainment, including poignant games and demonstrations.

An Educator's Toolkit for Behaviour

Explore the tools that educators use to understand children's behaviour and guide their social decisions. Learn to apply the Phoenix Cups framework to any behavioural challenge to design effective and respectful strategies.

The Phoenix Cups Foundations

Introduce your whole team to a philosophical framework that will guide you to share ideas, language, and understandings about each other's behaviour. Through this team workshop you'll gain a new perspective of why people interact the way they do, how needs not being met affect behaviour, and what you can start doing to live a fulfilling life.

Strong Leaders, Stronger Teams

Applying strength based practice, positive psychology ideas, and solution focus to your leadership.

Team building day

We'll work with you to customise a transformative day for your team. With a mix of presentations (using some of the Phoenix Cups foundations), workshopping, and team building activities, your team will learn loads about themselves and each other, while having loads of fun.
