The Wave x GoodThinking
Elevate your surf adventure with practical, shared learning experiences to capture lasting change within your team
A day at The Wave is already unforgettable. But add one of our GoodThinking Team Sessions and you’ll create something even better: a shared experience that boosts trust, sharpens thinking, and strengthens how your team operates back in the real world.
Hosted by qualified, experienced and accredited executive and team coach Fi Craig, these Team Sessions are available to all groups visiting The Wave, and can be worked around your surfing requirements.
Bespoke options can be created to suit your precise needs, so do get in touch if you’d like something a little different to support your team day in this most unique location.
Reflection & Awareness Sessions
What learning to surf teaches us about how we work
Surfing feels miles away from the day job. But it has a lot to teach us beyond pop ups, stance and waves.
These 1 hr reflective sessions ‘bookend’ your surf experience: an enquiry session before, and reflective one afterwards. Together they help the team notice how they approach challenge, excitement, fear, failure, success… and each other. Everyone leaves with insights that stick around longer than the adrenaline!
You’ll explore:
The stories and assumptions you bring to challenge
How you adapt when things don’t go to plan
What you learn about your teammates under pressure
What this means back in the office
Suitable for: any group wanting to extract some real-world value from a uniquely fun day out
Business benefit: A light-touch but meaningful look at how your team tackles challenge — improving resilience, empathy, and collaboration.
Costs:
2 x 1hr guided reflective sessions before and after surfing £450
Team Workshops
Time out to build learning for the real world
Choose from a set of half-day workshops designed to shift team behaviour in small, powerful ways. Each one blends simple tools, guided reflection and, importantly, plenty of humanity. Perfect before or after hitting the water.
-
We all hear, but very few of us truly listen. This workshop helps your team experience what it feels like to listen for understanding — and to be properly heard by your team mates.
Better listening means faster discussions, fewer crossed wires, and more creativity. It’s a foundational trust-builder, especially for busy or remote teams who rarely get time to connect beyond the task list.
We will cover listening for data, meaning and emotion, as well as the art of asking great questions, and encouraging others to speak up.Suitable for: Fast-paced teams, hybrid/remote teams, anyone who wants to feel more ‘human’ together.
-
Build your personal, and team, trustworthiness by understanding what generates trust, and what destroys it in the workplace.
In this workshop we unpack what trust is made of and help each person build their own practical trust action plan.
Teams leave more open, more connected, and more able to innovate, challenge and support one another.
Business benefit: A more resilient team dynamic, smoother collaboration, and a behavioural uplift that lasts far beyond the day.
Especially suitable for: Leadership teams, sales teams, or any team that wants a healthier everyday culture.
-
Using Henley Business School research, we explore what makes teams genuinely valuable to their stakeholders: trust, purpose, self-awareness, behaviours and practical ways of working. The session includes exercises your team can take back into the office.
Suitable for: Any team wanting long-term impact, not just a great day out.
Business benefit: Clearer team purpose, greater alignment, and a shared language for ongoing development.
Costs:
Half-day workshop for first 5 people: £550 (includes briefing call + materials)
Additional team members: £25 each
Example: Team of 10 = £675
Group Facilitation
Helping your team think better, decide better, and work better together
Facilitation helps a group move from muddled conversation to clear, collective outcomes. You bring the people and the topics; we provide the structure, agreements and process that get you there.
Good facilitation helps teams:
Stay on track and avoid circular discussions
Include every voice (not just the loud ones)
Navigate conflict or tension calmly
Reach stronger, more aligned decisions
Free up the team leader to join the conversation fully
Suitable for: strategy days, planning days or big ‘think together’ moments
Business benefit: Faster decisions, better alignment, and outcomes that would otherwise take weeks of meetings
Costs:
Half-day facilitation + 1hr briefing call: £550
Belbin Team Roles reports and workshop session
See your team in a whole new light
Belbin Team Roles uncover the behavioural strengths (and blind spots) each person brings — beyond their job title. It’s a rich, energising session that gives teams a shared understanding of how to work together in a smarter, more compassionate way. This is a more extensive value-add, starting with an online briefing, and generating individual reports before your day at The Wave.
You’ll get:
Individual Belbin questionnaires and reports
A full team role map
A half-day facilitated workshop using your team’s real profile
Clear strategies for making the most of strengths and avoiding friction
Suitable for: Newly formed teams, leadership teams and boards. Also any team investing in professional development. Max team size 15.
Business benefit: A deep insight into how to get the best from one another — improving performance, communication and everyday decision-making.
Costs:
Briefing, set-up + half-day session: £950
Individual reports: £50 each
Team report: £100
Example: Team of 10 = £1,550
