Talks And Workshops
Guided Success For Teams
At NewZeal Teams, our Talks & Workshops are designed to inspire, empower, and elevate teams through adventure-based learning and motivational experiences. Whether you’re seeking a dynamic keynote talk, a half-day seminar, or a multi-day immersive adventure, our programs blend powerful storytelling, hands-on experiences, and actionable insights to drive personal and professional growth.
Our talks and workshops are led by founder and director Paul Nicholson. With over 25 years of experience, Paul has honed his ability to inspire and empower individuals through engaging narratives and interactive activities. His Adventure philosophy is rooted in the belief that adventure provides unparalleled metaphors for life, creating unique personal insights and fresh perspectives.
Drawing insight and inspiration from his own experience, ‘talks and workshops’ encourage an ‘Adventure Philosophy’, which Paul describes as the willingness to embrace uncertainty and risk, and to be bold and daring in our everyday lives. And with business and everyday life full of uncertainty and risk, a person’s ability to manage themselves and successfully navigate turbulence and adversity is not only mission-critical, but Paul believes central to overall happiness and wellbeing.
Our flexible offerings range from 60-minute motivational talks to full-day adventure philosophy workshops. We can host a session at our serene River’s Edge property, or we can bring the experience to your office, conference centre, or chosen location.
