Have you ever had a team away day that felt like just a nice break—with no real impact?

I’ve experienced that too, which is why this year I wanted to do something different.

That’s where Lead Happy and Anna Jester came in. After seeing a LinkedIn post that really resonated with what was going on in our team, I reached out.

Anna was fantastic to work with—enthusiastic, insightful, challenging, and genuinely curious. She designed a day that was not only fun and inclusive but created a real shift in how we work together.

The impact has lasted—we still talk about it. And since then, Anna has continued to offer thoughtful support and practical next steps to help us build on the momentum.

It was a game-changer for how we approach away days.

Is it right for us, right now?

It’s not too early, and it’s definitely not too late. Teams like yours don’t need more tools. They need time, trust, and a different kind of development. That’s our jam. Check out the list of symptoms. Recognise any of these?

Then Lead Happy Teams is exactly what you need, right now

Talking less and side-eyeing more

Operating in silos (and pretending it’s efficient)

Running on stress, not spark

Tiptoeing around tension (or blowing up over it)

Stuck when it comes to ideas and change

Drifting, disengaged or just a bit... meh

Confused about who does what (and why

Disconnected in hybrid or remote mode

Sitting on hidden talent that’s going untapped.
