Understanding Your Zoo

Every team is a unique blend of natural styles. Zookeeper helps you harness them effectively, and lead change with agility and adaptability.

'The Influencer'

THE LEMUR

Smart, creative, and engaging, they are insanely persuasive and fun to be around.

'The Driver'

THE LION

Fast paced, high achievers, they wait for no man.

'The Connector'

THE DOLPHIN

The carers, instinctive listeners and empathetic counselors.

'The Stabilizer'

THE ELEPHANT

Process orientated, and inherently cautious, they are systematic and effective problem solvers.

The Zookeeper program was one of the most successful leadership trainings I have done with my Sales Leadership team. Darcy Blessing, our facilitator, was so engaging that the team still speaks about the program months later.
