The Calm One
Patient, steady and easy to talk to. Loves bringing people together and making sure everyone feels included. Notices who hasn’t had a chance to speak.
No, not that kind. This kind.
Every workplace has its Doves, Owls, Peacocks and Eagles. Each brings something different to the team, but how well do they understand each other?
This Christmas, bring your people together for a fun, coach-led experience full of laughs, surprising discoveries and a slightly ridiculous creative challenge. You might just change the way everyone works together.
If you're having an annual get together in January or February, we can accommodate that too.
Enquire about a D.O.P.E. test
Each bird brings something valuable. Teams need the drive of the Eagle, the influence of the Peacock, the rigour of the Owl and the trust of the Dove. Understanding yourself is a good start. Discovering how your different personalities work together is where the fun begins.

Patient, steady and easy to talk to. Loves bringing people together and making sure everyone feels included. Notices who hasn’t had a chance to speak.

Thoughtful, curious and quietly thorough. Loves a good question, a clear plan and enough time to think. Will probably read the instructions first.

Outgoing, optimistic and full of ideas. Loves meeting people, telling a good story and getting everyone excited about what could happen next.

Driven, direct and happiest when things are moving. Loves a challenge, gets to the point and won’t spend all afternoon choosing where to have lunch.
The D.O.P.E. bird styles are a light-hearted way to explore communication preferences, not a formal psychological assessment. Everyone brings a mix of strengths to different situations.
You’re already making the effort to get your team together for Christmas. Why not add something that’s genuinely useful, as well as good fun?
The D.O.P.E. Test gives your people the chance to see their colleagues in a different light. They’ll explore their communication preferences, appreciate the strengths in the room and leave with a few practical ideas for working better together.
Finish the year with a fresh perspective, or start the new one with a better understanding of each other.
Tell us roughly when and where you’d like to get your team together, and we’ll be in touch about availability and the details. No pressure, just a conversation about making your Christmas gathering a little more uncommon.
