Project Mason Mission 1 - Be My Mirror | An experiential project to build meaningful partnership

We just launched an exciting project with Inkmason called “Project Mason 2021” on the 9th of September.

Team development series 2021 - Present your ideas confidently

After our previous online workshop with Inkmason in May about Team Collaboration, our second module in this Team Development Series was delivered today with the same group of talented and energetic designers, and this time, they were all located in their Beijing Head Office. This workshop was about presenting your ideas confidently. The topic was very broad and so we decided to start from the beginning - why you need to present and how to structure your ideas. The concept is

We were so excited to have another workshop with Inkmason this year, and with this group of architects and designers, we started the workshop by this introduction -- “Yes, I'm a designer too. I help others achieve their goals and life plans. Why do I need someone else to help me achieving my own life goal? Well, have you experienced the worst time ever in your life? I have!

Discover Your Potential

We have been collaborating with Inkmason for years and this time they are ready to do something different and very inspiring - a team Brain Map. We use PRISM - a neuroscience based assessment tool - to map out the team's highest, lowest and average behaviour preferences. By knowing each other's collaboration styles and communication preferences, we can work so much easier and more efficient in such a dynamic team setting. The team had a lot and a lot of discussion, and a lot

Tips - How to ask to build trust?

Last year, I designed a Team Development Program for Inkmason, Beijing "From Strive to Stride", and one of the topics was about How to talk with your team member. It sounds like a very basic day to day communication skill, but a lot of managers and leaders find it difficult to start a conversation when he/she needs to coach a team member in a project or a task : How do you build up a trusting, human relationship, in a business-to-business context? What kind of questions shoul

This is our 4th workshop with this amazing group of young people at Inkmason in Beijing since last December.

Owning Challenges as Our Responsibilities Workshop with Inkmason

"Owning Challenges as Our Responsibilities" is always challenging in any organization. This is a big topic. In fact, this topic is the second priority that the team picked after "Communication" during the Let's Strive Team Building Workshop last year. Also check out Inkmason's post about this workshop! The objective of this workshop is to let the team share their true concerns and feelings about challenges and difficult situations at workplace, and find a way to own and solve

Tao Ou, Office Manager of Inkmason (Beijing), joined this program to explore his strengths and development areas, just like how he explored the world around before from China to Europe and back to China again. The PRISM report may surprise and inspire him on how he perceived himself before, yet it also shows that Tao is a very supportive team player and collaborator who always shows warmth and caring to the others.
