Do we need to be good at drawing or art to participate?

Absolutely! Our leadership training in Rotorua is designed for everyone, regardless of artistic ability. Our professional artists guide you through basic spray painting techniques before we dive into the leadership exercises. The focus isn't on being a 'great artist,' but on how you lead, communicate, and collaborate with your team to create a finished piece of street art. It's actually more fun when people step outside their comfort zones!

How long does the graffiti leadership workshop last?

A typical session lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for an introduction to the history of graffiti, safety briefings, basic technique practice, and the main collaborative leadership project. We can also customise the duration if you're on a tight schedule or if you want a more deep-dive workshop. Just let us know your requirements when you book!

What equipment is provided and what should we wear?

We’ve got you covered! We provide high-quality spray cans, masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We generally recommend wearing comfortable clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. We bring everything else required to turn your team into a crew of street art maestros right here in Rotorua.

How does this improve leadership skills more than a normal seminar?

Unlike traditional seminars where you sit and listen, our workshop is hands-on and high-energy. It forces leaders to deal with real-time variables, creative differences, and visual communication. You’ll see team dynamics play out on the wall in a way you never would in a boardroom. It’s an authentic, memorable experience that builds genuine bonds and breaks down corporate silos.

Is the spray painting process safe for my team?

Safety is our top priority. we use low-odour, professional-grade spray paints and provide all necessary personal protective equipment (PPE). The workshops are held in well-ventilated areas. Our artists are experienced professionals who ensure a safe environment for everyone. We also carry full insurance, so you can focus entirely on the creative process and team building without any worries.

Can you host the workshop at our own venue in Rotorua?

Yes! We can host the workshop at one of our partner creative spaces in Rotorua, or we can come to your office if you have a suitable outdoor area or a very well-ventilated indoor space. We also use mobile graffiti walls that we can set up almost anywhere. If you're unsure, we can help you find the perfect local spot for your session.

What specific leadership exercises are included?

The core of the workshop is the collective mural. Each team member is responsible for a section, but the sections must flow together. This requires a 'lead artist' (the manager) to coordinate the vision, while 'crew members' (the team) execute and provide feedback. It highlights the importance of clear instructions, trust in your team's skills, and staying focused on the big picture.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next leadership development day? Because it’s real, it’s messy, and it’s incredibly effective at revealing how your team actually works. Here’s why we’re the top choice in Rotorua: 🔥

Immediate feedback: Graffiti is fast. If a leader’s instructions aren't clear, the results show up on the wall instantly!
Breaks down hierarchies: Put a spray can in everyone's hand and the usual office 'rank' disappears, allowing for authentic bonding.

Step by step

The briefing: Your team meets our pro artists for an intro to the world of street art and the goals for the day.
Skill session: Learn the 'can control' basics—lines, fades, and fills—to build confidence before the big project.
Strategy phase: Leaders are designated to help the team brainstorm a concept that represents your company's values or goals.
The outline: Watch as the 'lead' maps out the vision on the wall, setting the framework for the rest of the crew.
Collaborative layering: Team members step up to fill in the colours, requiring constant communication to keep the style consistent.
Detailing & sharpening: Under the leader's guidance, the team adds the fine details and outlines that make the piece pop.
The debrief: We step back to admire the work and discuss how the team dynamics during the painting reflect daily workplace challenges.

Local culture

Rotorua isn't just about the bubbling mud pools and incredible geysers (though we love those too!); it’s a city with a deep-rooted appreciation for storytelling and visual art. From the intricate carvings at Te Puia to the contemporary murals popping up in the CBD, Rotorua is all about expressing identity. Our leadership training in Rotorua leans into this local spirit, encouraging your team to tell their own professional story on a grand scale. 🌳

Fun fact: Did you know that Rotorua’s Government Gardens used to be a site of fierce battles? Today, it’s a place of peace and beauty—the perfect metaphor for turning workplace conflict into creative collaboration during our workshops! 🏛️
