Hey, I’m Aden Date
I help bold leaders delight and engage their teams
Unboring team development informed by cognitive science (not management fads)
For all teams great and small
Prevent Death By PowerPoint
We know we want our people to be more wild, alive, and human, but our training is stale, boring, and predictable. We’re dumping truckloads of information on exhausted brains on Thursday only to wonder why our people aren’t more energised on Friday.
Cognitive science shows us that training doesn’t have to be boring. We learn best when we are engaged and delighted (yes, even for introverts and sceptics).
It’s time to close our laptops, get off our arses, purge the PowerPoint and burn the Post-Its.
Break boredom and bring work to life (and life to work)

Break boredom and bring work to life (and life to work) ◉
-
More Energy
More laughs, more learning, and more energy. Delight in work and unleash joy and insight for your team. No pumped-up jams, forced fun or motivational speakers needed.
-
More Creativity
Creativity happens when we’re playful, energised and connected to our colleagues. Unboring training opens space for the wisdom of your team to emerge spontaneously.
-
More Leadership
Say goodbye to micro-management. When team members discover their own agency, less top-down management is needed. Be nice to take a break, wouldn’t it?
“As a sceptic, I was blown away by Aden’s ability to create rapport, connection, and belly laughs from the group within minutes. His facilitation abilities are top-notch, and even more impressive once you realise the research-backed methods behind the fun.”

Three ways we can work together
Experience
(Half-day)
Dive into unboring with a joyful, purposeful experience that connects your team. Open the space for creative courage and shift sticky behaviours with a half-day workshop.
Extend
(Full day)
Invest in people, not plans. Ditch the fanciful annual ritual where you plan for a future you can’t possibly control. Extend your team with the skills that will help them thrive in uncertainty.
Embed
(Offsites/Bespoke)
Create an unforgettable experience that connects and revitalises your team. Explore the future of work through deep experiential learning, then embed it through new structures and practices.
