  • A clear understanding of what Psychological Safety is, and why it’s essential to team performance

  What’s the Problem?

  You can’t innovate in a room full of silent head nods. If your people don’t feel safe to speak up, push back, or say “I don’t know,” then you’ve got a culture of fear—not performance.

  Psychological safety isn’t soft. It’s the foundation of every high-performing, risk-taking, truth-telling team. But most organizations are stuck in survival mode—playing not to lose instead of playing to win. Behind closed doors, people withhold ideas, avoid hard feedback, and play small because they’re afraid of being judged, blamed, or ignored.

  This Morkshop changes that—fast. From live feedback exercises to open-floor conversations, teams don’t just talk about psychological safety—they start creating it in real time.

  Who is this for?

  • Teams with strong talent but inconsistent collaboration or risk avoidance
  • Leaders who want to create environments where people feel safe to speak up, experiment, and innovate

  What will people get out of this?

  • A deep understanding of what Psychological Safety is and how it directly impacts innovation and performance
  • Practical strategies and language to build trust, invite vulnerability, and foster courageous conversations

  Includes access to Mork Guides on Building Trust, Vulnerability Loops, and Safe Communication—plus optional pairing with Patrick’s keynote, The Safety to Soar for maximum impact.

  All Mork Guides come with links to my Mork’s Leadership GPT which allows participants to use my GPT as a role playing partner to practice the relevant exercises in each guide.

• Format: 3-hour Morkshop

  What’s the problem?

  Most teams are playing it safe—smiling in meetings, nodding in agreement, and dying inside. People are armored up, afraid to be real, and stuck behind polished LinkedIn versions of themselves. And when vulnerability is absent, trust dies, feedback disappears, and innovation flatlines.

  The truth? Real connection doesn’t happen without risk. But most professionals were never taught how to open up without oversharing—or how to be authentic without feeling exposed.

  This Morkshop tears that script up. One of the most powerful exercises is the Walk of Life, where participants step into a literal timeline of their life’s defining highs and lows. What starts as storytelling turns into truth-telling—and by the end, masks drop, hearts open, and teams start to truly see each other for the first time.

  Through laughter, discomfort, and genuine connection, your team will start to let go of the masks that block growth—and discover what happens when people show up fully human.

  Who is this for?

  • New teams who have to gel fast
  • Teams operating in high-pressure environments where authenticity and trust are missing
  • Leaders who want to model openness and drive stronger engagement through emotional intelligence
  • Senior executives and those too tough to be really open

  What will people get out of this?

  • A deeper appreciation for vulnerability as a leadership strength, not a weakness
  • Real tools and frameworks to share openly, give/receive feedback, and lead with courage

  Includes access to Mork Guides on:

  • Mork’s Guide to Self-Love
  • Mork’s Guide to Active Listening

  These guides help participants build self-compassion, develop trust-based communication, and deepen connection—critical to modeling vulnerability.

• Format: 3-hour Morkshop

  What’s the problem?

  Too many smart people are leading on autopilot—reacting, deflecting, and grinding through their day without ever stopping to ask, “Why am I like this?” The result? Emotional blind spots, crappy communication, burnout, and zero real growth.

  And here’s the kicker: we can’t see ourselves the way others see us. Without self-awareness, we’re flying blind—making decisions, leading teams, and showing up in ways that don’t match our intentions. When leaders don’t know how they land, they lose trust, energy, and impact.

  To crack that open from the jump, participants kick things off by creating personal Baseball Cards—a playful, insightful snapshot of who they are, how they operate, and what drives them. But here’s the twist: they don’t introduce themselves. Someone else does. And that’s where the real self-awareness work begins.

  Who is this for?

  • Leaders and teams who want to level up emotional intelligence and interpersonal impact
  • Organizations experiencing misalignment, reactive decision-making, or low accountability

  What will people get from this?

  • Tools to identify blind spots, triggers, and reactive patterns
  • A stronger sense of emotional control, presence, and alignment with their values

  Program Description:

  Most people operate on autopilot—reacting instead of responding, and coasting instead of consciously leading. But great leadership starts with great self-awareness.

  In this interactive Morkshop, Patrick Mork takes participants on a revealing inner journey to better understand their motivations, reactions, and emotional defaults. Using powerful reflection tools, paired exercises, and real-time feedback, participants will learn to identify the mental models and habits that shape how they show up—and how others experience them.

  From exploring value misalignments to recognizing behavioral triggers, this session provides a safe but challenging environment for honest introspection and real change.

  Includes access to Mork Guides on:

  • Managing Energy
  • Slowing Down
  • Stopping People-Pleasing
  • Building Self-Confidence

  All Mork Guides come with links to my Mork’s Leadership GPT which allows participants to use my GPT as a role playing partner to practice the relevant exercises in each guide.

• Format: 3-hour Morkshop

  What’s the problem?

  Most people struggle with giving and receiving feedback. It’s either avoided entirely, delivered too bluntly, or buried in vague, sugar-coated language. The result? Misalignment, mistrust, and missed opportunities for growth. In cultures where feedback isn’t normalized, performance stalls and psychological safety erodes—leaving leaders and teams stuck in the status quo.  Feedback is to people what sunlight is to plants.  No feedback, no growth.  

  In this high-impact Morkshop, Patrick breaks down the emotional and behavioral blocks that prevent honest feedback from flowing—and teaches teams how to turn tough conversations into powerful opportunities for growth. Through real-world role plays, guided practice, and live coaching, participants develop the skills, mindset, and language needed to make feedback consistent, constructive, and safe.

  Expect energy, laughter, and transformation—as people learn how to speak truth with compassion and hear it with curiosity.

  Who is this for?

  • Managers and teams who avoid difficult conversations or sugarcoat critical feedback
  • Organizations committed to building high-trust, high-performance cultures

  What will people get out of it?

  • Proven frameworks to give and receive feedback clearly, constructively, and confidently
  • Tools to normalize feedback and make it a daily part of team culture—not a once-a-year event

  Includes access to Mork Guides on:

  • Effective Feedback
  • Assertive Communication
  • Active Listening

  Together, these tools help teams move from feedback anxiety to feedback fluency—reinforcing habits that stick long after the session ends.

• Format: 3-hour Morkshop

  What’s the problem?

  In today’s fast-paced, distracted work environment, most people listen just enough to reply—not to truly understand. As a result, communication stays surface-level, trust erodes, and the real issues go unspoken.

  This Morkshop is designed to fix that.

  In this highly interactive session, Patrick Mork teaches the art of active listening and the science of asking powerful questions—two of the most underdeveloped (yet critical) skills in leadership. Participants learn how to quiet their mental chatter, stay present under pressure, and ask questions that challenge assumptions, build trust, and unlock insight.

  Through live practice, coaching circles, and group role-play, your team will develop the muscle to go deeper in conversation—and lead with greater empathy, curiosity, and clarity.

  Who is this for?

  • Leaders and managers who want to elevate coaching conversations and decision-making
  • Teams that struggle with miscommunication, shallow dialogue, or poor engagement

  What will people get out of this?

  • The ability to listen deeply, reflectively, and without judgment to build stronger connections
  • Proven techniques to ask bold, thought-provoking questions that spark clarity and accountability

  Includes access to Mork Guides on:

  • Active Listening
  • Assertive Communication
  • Self-Confidence

  All Mork Guides come with links to Mork’s Leadership GPT, allowing participants to role-play and reinforce the communication skills taught—anytime, anywhere.

• Format: 3-hour Morkshop

  What’s the Problem?

  In many organizations, people swing between silence and aggression—avoiding hard conversations or bulldozing through them. The result? Misunderstandings, hidden resentment, and a lack of trust that drags down performance. Most professionals were never taught how to speak clearly, respectfully, and directly—especially when the stakes are high.

  Who Is This For?

  • Managers and team members who struggle with conflict, over-apologizing, or people-pleasing
  • Organizations where feedback is inconsistent, tension simmers, or clarity is missing

  What Will People Get Out of This?

  • A practical framework to communicate clearly and confidently without being passive or aggressive
  • Tools to set boundaries, give feedback, and express opinions—without fear or guilt

  In this high-energy, interactive Morkshop, Patrick Mork helps participants unlearn unhealthy communication habits and replace them with direct, respectful, and empowered dialogue. Through role plays, group coaching, and honest self-reflection, they’ll learn how to speak their truth—even in tough moments—while still staying grounded and kind.

  Expect real talk, real-time coaching, and breakthroughs in how your team connects and collaborates.

  Includes access to Mork Guides on:

  • Assertive Communication
  • Stop People-Pleasing
  • Self-Confidence

• Format: 3-hour Morkshop

  What’s the Problem?

   

  In today’s hyper-distracted, high-speed work culture, too many people are busy—but not fulfilled. They show up for the paycheck, not the purpose. When teams don’t understand the “why” behind their work, motivation drops, alignment fractures, and burnout rises. Without meaning, performance becomes mechanical—and potential is left on the table.

  Who Is This For?

  • Leaders and teams navigating rapid growth, cultural shifts, or post-reorg realignment
  • Organizations committed to building high-trust, high-purpose cultures that retain top talent
  • Startup & Scale up founders

  What Will People Get Out of This?

  • A clear understanding of the personal and collective “why” that fuels performance and engagement
  • Tools to articulate mission, define team values, and create alignment that drives results

  In this powerful, reflective Morkshop, Patrick Mork guides participants through a deep dive into purpose—not just as a buzzword, but as a foundation for leadership and culture. Through storytelling, personal exercises, and group facilitation, teams uncover what truly matters to them, why they do what they do, and how to create environments where people contribute, grow, and thrive.

  This session is ideal for companies scaling fast, recovering from cultural drift, or wanting to ignite a stronger sense of belonging and direction.

  Includes access to Mork Guides on:

  • Purpose
  • Vitality
  • Slowing Down
