CHANGEMAKING FOR BUSINESSES
THE POWER OF TEAMS
The Human Hive are experts in realising the potential of teams to change the world.
Our training is designed to help you know yourself and your team better so you can
share skills and support one another to do great things: both in the work place and outside your walls.
Traditional volunteering opportunities often put barriers between volunteers and the
people they want to help. We know you want to offer more than just a one off
experience with no evidence of the benefit your intervention has had.
We will provide the tools, knowledge and know how to move you from doing things FOR
people to creating things WITH people, so that ultimately those you support can stand
on their own two feet and thrive independently.
By channelling the very best of your skills, expertise and experience directly to where it’s needed most, you will know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the difference you can make in other people's lives.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
- MARGARET MEAD
THE PROGRAMME
This programme is designed to introduce your team of Change Makers to our full, three
stage foundation process and prepare them to take a leadership role in solving global
problems on a local level, using the skills they already have and those of the people
around them. Designed from the nervous system up, it prioritises SAFETY, BELONGING and
PURPOSE as the essential elements for human flourishing and is therefore ideal to
respond to the unique challenges of THREAT, ISOLATION and DISEMPOWERMENT
that many people feel at this moment in history. Challenges that can remove agency and disincentivise action. Because we know that all businesses are different, we have designed three modular
training packages to help meet the needs of your team.
Start with Stage One and build stage by stage from there.
THREE STAGES
Our programme builds in three modular stages.
STAGE ONE
HOW TO SHOW UP
SAFETY
Safety is the foundation of any successful interaction with others. If people don’t feel safe with you they are likely to meet you in their defence behaviours - Fight, Flight, Freeze or Faint - rather than as their authentic selves. As a ChangeMaker, safe space begins with you.
We train you to become a beacon of safety, radiating calm wherever you go, so that people feel comfortable to be with you.
STAGE TWO
HOW TO SHARE
BELONGING
People work better together when they feel connected and can build supportive relationships. As a ChangeMaker your role is to
create a shared space where everyone is included, respected and encouraged to contribute, no matter who they are or where they come from. We train you to create shared
learning spaces, where relationships can be established and needs assessed.
STAGE THREE
HOW TO TAKE ACTION
PURPOSE
People are more motivated to take action when what they are doing feels meaningful.
As a ChangeMaker we train you to co-create solutions with your participants to problems that are important to them. We believe the answer to any problem is always in the room. Give people a sense of purpose by allowing them to share their skills and take the lead.
Whether you are mentoring young people, supporting a charity, starting a community project (locally or elsewhere in the world) or just want to understand your customers better, we can help you make the most out of everything you do.
You define the WHAT, The Human Hive will show you HOW
STAGE ONE
SAFETY
HOW TO SHOW UP
Before you can work well with others you have to understand yourself. Stage One training provides the knowledge and tools to develop a sense of safety in yourself and the people around you, so you can take effective action together.
-
Develop a sense of safety and support in diverse teams, so you can
communicate and collaborate effectively together.
-
Recognise and regulate your personal responses to challenging situations so
you can show up more effectively for others.
-
Design and implement a wellbeing support programme for your team so
you are ready to make an impact on the community around you.
STAGE TWO
BELONGING
HOW TO SHARE
Now you've learned how to show up, Stage Two will teach you how to use The Human Hive Framework to design shared learning experiences as the foundation for building meaningful relationships. Using our Patchwork Education model we will teach you a template to transform any skill into an inclusive activity and turn you into dynamic facilitators, ready to share your skills with others.
-
Understand inclusive practice by exploring identity, unconscious bias and
learn how to get on well with people you would never otherwise meet.
-
Identify what you do best and design activities that are inclusive, safe and
skills-building. Create a full activity plan with other participants.
-
Plan an office event to share your newly designed activities. Test out your
activities and team-working skills with a friendly audience and evaluate your success.
STAGE THREE
PURPOSE
HOW TO TAKE ACTION
Now it's time to take action! Stage Three will prepare you to reach out into the wider community to co-create a project which will regenerate People, Places and Planet. All your new found skills will come together in Stage Three as you practice Being the Difference in the world around you.
-
Identify needs in your local community and make new relationships with groups, projects or causes you'd like to support.
-
Match your skills to the needs you find and prepare for co-creation with your
chosen partners.
-
Reflect, evaluate and present your project back to your peers. Decide what comes next on the path to independence for your project.
BUILD YOUR OWN PROGRAMME
Start with Stage One and build stage by stage from there.

As a social enterprise we channel our profits back into social
projects, which for us means empowering
ChangeMakers around the world to make a difference where
they are. Working with you will help us to offer our training
for a fraction of the cost to community groups and provide
seed money for new grassroots regenerative projects.
So while you are ChangeMaking where you are, you'll be
helping others do the same where they are, building a
community of change across the world.
