How it works
What participants are saying
Deirdre Guthrie, Director of Well-being and Joy in Practice, Lurie Children's Hospital
Critical topics made fun
"The workshops-in-a-box picked up on some important pieces - strategies for turbulent times, social connection, decision-making under pressure, physical wellbeing, handling high emotion - that were important to our demographic. And this was all made fun and lighthearted with great visuals and graphics to help us process the content amidst conditions that greatly strain our attention, focus and overall bandwidth."
Valerie Holloman - National Nurse-Led Care Consortium
This has changed lives
“Rest assured that your formula has changed many lives. You helped every one of my colleagues. We left differently than we came in.”
Dr Regardt Ferreira - Director Disaster Resilience Leadership Academy, Tulane University
Masterfully designed
"Hummingly's innovative tools and training grew out of the lived experience of working in emergencies. They are grounded in science and are masterfully designed. This is what makes them so powerful."
Jenny Busing - Co-founder and Chief Growth Officer, Excellent
Our team loved it!
"Easiest workshop I've ever run. So helpful that all the supplies and expertise were packaged up in one workshop box. I wasn't sure how videos would work but it was a fantastic experience and our team loved it. We can't wait to do more!"
Helen Bokea, Director, Neglected Tropical Diseases Program, Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics
Nicely packaged for those with full plates
"It was particularly useful because our plates are full and we didn't really have any time or anyone to sit down and organize a workshop for us. It came nicely packaged for us. It was just amazing that before we were even leaving, people stepped up and offered to contribute more to the team.”
Dr Casara Andre, Branch Director, Rocky Mountain Medical Reserve Corps
Prepared for pressure
"The 'workshop in a box' helped prepare our team for high-pressure situations as part of our duty of care, rather than waiting for harm to occur before offering support."
Alex McNaughten - CEO, Aprento
Genuinely an amazing achievement!
"I came in super cynical - there's no way you're going to get us to collaborate without having a facilitator in the room. But it was awesome! Genuinely an amazing achievement!"
Janice MacInnis - Manager, Organizational Health, Dalhousie University
A truly engaging experience
"I so appreciated the attractive and organized materials, the videos ready to go at a click, and the care that went in to pulling it all together. It really is designed to just make it happen. Group engagement is obviously a priority. A truly engaging experience."
