What to Expect

1. Discovery

Sparkleworks collaborates with your leadership, community managers, human resource partners, or offsite coordinators to understand your team’s unique needs and challenges. Together, we will craft a tailored program to engage, motivate, and inspire your team.

We’ll send you a proposal with your event details for approval, then a good-faith agreement to sign so we’re all aligned. Once the deposit is received, your date is officially yours and we are ready to start sparkling!

2. Experience

According to your individual needs, we’ll host an immersive in-person or virtual program, providing materials, facilitation, and our can-do infectious attitude that facilitates interpersonal connection, collaboration, and team strategy in a fun and energizing environment we call “sparkle spaces.”

Each sparkle space is different, since the people bring the sparkle, and our programs are methodologically designed to help people shine brighter together.

Programs can be local in San Diego, or we’ll travel to meet you.

3. Outcomes

Your team will leave their event inspired and empowered: energized to do their best work while feeling a sense of purpose and cohesion with one another to drive towards a shared vision.

The Sparkleworks Double Diamond Method uses divergent and convergent design thinking to frame the complete picture before zooming in. Using this model, we come to understand which challenges are symptoms of a deeper root problem, and how our emotions provide information to guide us.
