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.

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.

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!

Journeys - our own programs

Believe it or not - we decided to bring our own programs online prior to the pandemic. The reason was simple: We know about the power of very personal and facilitated group processes, and we strive to make them as accessible as possible.

A couple of years and plenty of iterations later, we have developed and established three Journeys: multi-week online programs for small groups, which combine weekly 2-hour online workshops, peer-coaching sessions, and individual exercises.

Take a look at the following public Journeys we offer, currently most often our Leadership Journey, or consider co-hosting a Journey with us within your own organisation or

Sparing & Support in long-term inquriries

How do you imagine your team and organisation as a thriving ecosystem?This question might be new for you, or you might have certain images right in front of your mind. In either case: we support you to deepen and extend the collaborative capacities that are so fundamental to your work and success.

When you're embarking on a long-term inquiry with a set of questions, not sure what the outcome will look like, you need a good team to navigate the upcoming highs and lows. We love to contribute to such processes as your external sparring partner and additional team member(s) who can support you wherever needed.

Unfolding your self: Individual coaching

Are you stuck with a situation? Do you see yourself repeating patterns without being able to break them? We're supporting you to work on the roots of the problem instead of curing symptoms. Accessing our emotions and the wisdom of our body, alongside our thoughts, assumptions and judgements, can significantly support us to get unstuck, move through conflicts and make decisions more efficiently and effectively. Our coaching supports you in discovering and strengthening your inner resources so you can unfold more of your full self and take practical steps towards empowerment and change.
