Putting the TEA into TEAm Building!

Strengthen relationships within your team in one fun, fascinating, challenging and delicious session!

You may know her as Speaker Jane, The Tea Lady, Auntie Janey or even as TikTok sensation @afternoonteajane but she’s been giving engaging, uplifting talks to both social and business groups/conferences for years. 

Described as a National Treasure, her talks leave the room smiling and with powerful food (or tea) for thought!  Within Jane Malyon’s afternoon tea etiquette expertise (she’s written a best seller and given a TedX on the topic too!) there are memorable metaphors for corporates to improve communication, sales and rapport. You might also find out the correct way to stir your tea!!

Whilst also enjoying the treats, this very interactive event motivates the group to develop their strengths, collaborate and find new ways to communicate, using each element of the Afternoon Tea experience as the guiding inspiration.

A valuable behaviour-changing opportunity – not just a piece of cake!

Shades of Tea

Fancy A Cuppa?

How do you like yours? This exercise gets the group finding out something unique about each other. Can even include bespoke tea blending from finest loose leaf ingredients.

Tea Strainer

Using the Tea Strainer

Remembering to filter communication too. Learning to critique with kindness. Words to use, words not to use!

Sugar pot

One Lump or Two?

Learn how to sweeten the deal and provide added extras that delight.

Cucumber sandwich

Cucumber Sandwich, m'dear?

Historically, a symbol of one-up-manship, now the sandwich platter represents sharing and inclusivity.

Cream & Jam Pots

After you? No, after you!

Consideration and working as a team. Is there a hierarchy in your team? Is your social structure working well?

Cream or jam controversy!

Cream or Jam first?

Appreciating that your way is not the only way! Trying on other people's perspectives!

Thank you card
