When leaders and teams are fit, they are better able to work through challenges, respond to change, and make the most of opportunity.
When they are creatively fit, they have the confidence, curiosity and capacity to see things differently, work with complexity, and shape new possibilities together.
At Maverick Minds, we work alongside organisations to strengthen this kind of leadership and team fitness — building trust, creative capacity and better ways of working when it matters most.
Why this matters
Change is constant, and familiar approaches are often no longer enough.
Leadership and team fitness is about developing the relational, creative and human capacity that helps people work well together — particularly in complexity and uncertainty.
How we work with you:
- Strengthen how they work together and make decisions
- Work productively with different perspectives and complexity
- Build trust, connection and creative capacity
- Recognise opportunities and patterns that are easy to miss
- Support innovation and change in ways people can engage with
- Create the conditions for meaningful, sustainable progress
Our work can be delivered as follows:
- Creative coach / facilitator in residence
- A series of full-day or half-day workshops
- Shorter, focused sessions
- Virtual facilitation and coaching
- On-site, off-site or neutral venues
We work with organisations:
- Who are looking for inspiration, a real sense of purpose and clarity,
- Who believe creativity, curiosity and play fuel progress, connection and productivity.
- Who want their workplace to feel engaging and full of possibility.

The Maverick Minds Difference
Artful Inquiry is how we support leadership and team fitness.
We use creative and systems-based approaches – including images, reflection, and a selection of creative interventions and processes to help leaders and teams work well.
This builds shared understanding, creative confidence and trust, supporting collaboration and readiness for change.
This work is grounded in research, shaped by real-world experience, and designed to support leaders and teams in everyday organisational contexts.
Thank you for another incredible session, Dr Cathryn Lloyd! Your insights and guidance have truly made an impact. The strategies and tools you shared not only helped us sharpen our focus but also inspired us to approach challenges with a fresh perspective. It’s rare to have such an engaging and productive day, and your expertise made all the difference. Looking forward to putting everything into practice and continuing to grow together as a team.
