Building Ethos
“Ethos: The characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as manifested in its attitudes and aspirations.”
What does a winning work culture look, sound and feel like to an organisation? And why does it even matter?
It matters because strong work cultures have more engaged, motivated and empowered team players, who perform better, drive your business forward and stay loyal. They become an extension of your vision.
We are a group of passionate individuals who work with your team, setting them up for success.
Building Ethos is a Learning & Development Consultancy that offer unique human skills training and corporate wellness solutions, fully tailored to your organisations values. We help build a work culture where we take your corporate values off the wall and embed them into your teams behaviours. We build their ethos, their character. We do this through engaging, practical and thought provoking training sessions, designed in partnership with you and what you need to drive your business forward, through your people.
Our process is collaborative: you tell us what outcome you want, and we identify the winning behaviours, and embed them in your organisation…We make these behaviours go viral! It’s about creating a tribe of activists. Top down, bottom up – irrespective of level, its about what you do day in and day out.
Why Building Ethos?
We take your corporate values off the wall and embed them into your team, building behaviours every day that collectively drive your business performance forward.
All of our sessions are fully tailored, not adapted to your specific business needs, making them more relevant and creating greater impact for you and your team. We can offer all solutions in both Face-to-Face and Virtual platforms.
Our sessions are invitational: we ask you to come on this journey with us together – no judgment and no arrogance, encouraging your team to buy-in and fully immerse themselves with our progressive content and discussions.
Our sessions are modern, thought-shifting and progressive. We teach principles before theory. Your learning extends beyond the office walls. Our principles will not only shift behaviours and results, but overall mental wellness at work and at home.
Our sessions are fun and engaging, helping your team lean-in and they leave, feeling like they matter. Team building activities are integrated into the learner's journey, further strengthening team collaboration.
Guarantee value or your money back! No excuses. We will hold the mirror up to your team, and are fully accountable in holding it up to ourselves. We hold ourselves up to very high standards and are fully dedicated to being of service to our clients.

Principles of Negotiation
Most people don’t like negotiations. From a psychological perspective, the main reason is because we don’t like it when people say no, or have a difference of opinion to that of our own. Our survival instincts immediately kick in and we lose emotional control. The result: a hostile disagreement and deadlock. In these sessions, we explore the psychology behind negotiations and we build the behaviours required to encourage collaboration. We also look at the skills and techniques of the best negotiators and we work with your team, using highly participative role plays to help them understand the importance of planning and cultivating a win: win mentality to drive your business forward. These programmes supports the learner with ‘in-session’ feedback and post course development plans to ensure future growth and success.
Available Programs:
-
Negotiating with Customers
-
Negotiating for Influence
