Thriving Teams & Leaders


A good gardener tends to the soil – the fertile ground for plants and trees to grow. In organisations, the richness of the soil represents the internal capacities for healthy and resilient teamwork. These capacities shape the way internal communication flows, meetings are held, feedback is given and received, leadership is embodied, and much more. 

We support you and your organisation on a journey of insight, reflection and deliberate action to tap into and grow your team's and organisation's capacity to thrive in the 21st century.

Our approach

Whether you wish to foster your team’s capacity for empowered and effective collaboration, grow as a leader, or bring more purpose into your work, our commitment is to find the appropriate way of support for your journey.

Approaching any project through a relational approach, where relationships are valued and mutual trust forms the basis for joint work.

Listening to your needs to find out which mix of prepared & established modules and customised content is needed.

Keeping your long-term capacity building in mind and heart, while focusing on what’s present and needed now. We enjoy being strategic and intentional, while we equally enjoy facilitating workshops and actively engaging with you on topics that matter.

Finding the right format which ranges from workshops to team retreats, in-house journeys for capacity building to long-term sparring and co-development.

Sharing our curiosity and love for knowledge, e.g. by contributing consolidated and science-based resources from our Living Library.

Up for the Ride?

Down below you can find further details on the services we offer. You can also directly reach out to us and we can jointly explore opportunities to collaborate.

And here’s what we don’t do

Create dependencies on us. We want you to thrive from within.

Not listening to your needs to find out which mix of prepared & established modules and customised content is needed.

Shy away from naming relevant themes and topics. Change and growth can be challenging. Rather than avoiding tough conversations, we are committed to naming what matters – with care and kindness.

Customer testimonials

The Impact Garden served as powerful scaffolding for our diverse group of organizations to identify complementary resources and surface common aspirations. The framework catalyzed a rich discussion that ultimately revealed our shared north star: Ea, a vision of self-determination, agency, and holistic health and well-being of people and ʻāina (land, in all its nourishing forms) for generations to come.

We have been working with the Unity Effect team effortlessly during the Senior Management Team and Global Team retreats. Over the years, they have supported us in bringing together our team, finding better ways to connect, discussing relevant issues, and finding solutions with professionalism and creativity.

I learnt that being a leader is a skill that we can all learn. There are some key elements and tools of which mastery and reflection can make us become confident in leading teams and inspiring people.

It’s a pleasure for the Bonn Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Learning (BIM) to work together with Unity Effect’s committed team. Their creative ideas, innovative approaches and methods have expanded and enriched the further education, project and integration work of BIM and MIGRApolis House of Resources Bonn.

In a unique way that is rarely found, Emily combines competence, professionalism and creativity with enthusiasm, authenticity and fun. Unity Effect does not only talk social entrepreneurship and new work, they know what it means and how to make it work in real life. I enjoy and have benefited from each and every collaboration with Unity Effect and Emily can only highly recommend them as a competent and professional partner.

I was truly amazed how Jannik and Franziska managed to design a well fitted one-day-workshop with our group of 10 professionals in leading positions in different kind of businesses. Within minutes we found each other in a wonderful workflow. We have learned a lot about leadership and self-organisation and the Why of our actions. The workshop was well structured with refreshing breaks and deep insight. A gift to me!
