BREAKING BARRIERSBreaking Barriers — the board-breaking experienceLoading connects to YouTube. No automatic playback.
Watch on YouTubeAt first glance, the challenge is to break a wooden board. What matters happens before, during and after: doubt, preparation, decision, support and how we interpret the result. A hands-on experience that brings the conversation about attitude and overcoming challenges to life.
What we will work on
- Recognise the difference between initial fear and the capacity to act.
- Practise preparation, listening and commitment to action.
- Reflect on the team’s role in an individual challenge.

Connect it to work
Reflect on the experience and the challenges the team faces at work.
It’s not about the board.
Participation is voluntary and instructor-led. The format and alternative ways to participate are agreed for each group; no individual physical outcome is guaranteed.
GOING DEEPER
There is a before and an after.
Reflection gives the experience its meaning.
Before · What is holding back action?
What story do we tell about the challenge? What separates not knowing, not being able, and not having tried yet?
During · How do we respond?
Preparation, listening, focus and support from others. Observing the process matters as much as observing the result.
After · What do we take away?
What “board” is the team facing at work today? What is the next concrete behaviour to try?
