In this unfiltered episode of The Making of a Coach, Paris Thomas dismantles everything you thought you knew about team building. From lobbying for Canadian dairy farmers to creating immersive leadership bootcamps in the mountains of Cyprus, Paris takes us through a wild ride of contradictions, courage, and clarity. If you've ever attended a corporate “training” that felt more like a holiday than a transformation, this conversation will hit home.
We explore the pitfalls of surface-level team building (“balloon chairs,” anyone?) and dig into how real growth happens—not through lectures, but through carefully designed discomfort, vulnerability, and powerful debriefs under olive trees.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why traditional corporate training often fails (and what to do instead)
- The art of engineering transformational learning experiences
- How one well-timed “hack” can trigger deep behavioral shifts
- Why Paris refuses to run workshops without leadership in the room
