DOWNTIME IS A GREAT TIME FOR LEARNING

Ahh, the summer holidays.  

The shops are a nightmare, the roads are traffic-jammed, the in-laws are on their way and the kids are home from school demanding snacks, screens and cures for boredom. 

MosaicLab can provide some respite from the festive holiday craziness if you’d like a chance to briefly shut out the world and prepare yourself for engagement success in 2023.  

And even if you’re immune to the chaos at this time of year, it’s a great opportunity to regroup, reset and give your engagement brain some ‘me time’.

Our MosaicLab Academy has a range of training courses in facilitation, engagement, deliberation and conflict.  

Perfect for this time of year are our short (about four hours), beginner-level self-directed courses that can be completed online, at home and in your own time.
