Workshops

A half-day experience for teams who need to say what normal meetings make difficult to say.

A keynote tells five hundred people where the gap is. The Room finds it in your team. 10 to 40 people. 3 to 4 hours. In person. No slides.

Run with teams and students at Boehringer Ingelheim · Takeda · PwC Austria · IMC Krems · Tel Aviv University

Every team has a version of the meeting where people say what they actually think. Most never get there. Not because people don't want to. Because nobody goes first.

I go first.

I tell the team how I ignored my own signal until it broke. Then people say the thing they came in not planning to say. The workload nobody logs. The colleague everyone knows is not fine. The patient the process keeps missing.

The method has a name, Testimony-Based Presence. It is the same method behind every keynote, run as the session itself instead of a talk about it.

Three ways to book it

For events

Keynote + workshop

The keynote for the whole event. Then half a day with the team that has to act on it. The keynote names the gap. The workshop puts your team in it.

For one team

Half-day workshop

Three to four hours. Ten to forty people. In person, at your site or in Vienna. For clinical teams, leadership groups, patient organisations and any team where everyone is fine and nothing is working.

For individuals

Open intensive or one to one

One day in Vienna with nine strangers, by application. Or ninety minutes, privately.

The intensive →One to one →

English, German or Hebrew. Available internationally from Vienna. Typical lead time 4 to 8 weeks. Fee on request, with reduced rates for universities, patient organisations and nonprofits.

What changes in the organisation

  • Conversations that were being avoided become discussable.
  • Teams identify what is actually blocking a decision, not what the agenda said was blocking it.
  • Leaders hear things the formal feedback channels miss.
  • People leave with language they can use in a meeting the same week.
  • The room becomes more honest without becoming unsafe.

From inside the room

I left with the feeling that I had grown on a human level. Your workshop was a powerful reminder of how essential empathy, active listening, and perspective-taking truly are.

Your story was so rousing. I got goosebumps while you were telling your story. Thank you very much for this experience.

I could immediately put the spirit into practice, the same evening with a patient.

You reminded me again of how important it is to closely integrate the patient perspective — and that of their families — into the therapeutic process.

I think everyone needs an afternoon with Roi now and then.

What is your team not saying?

Tell me who the team is and what it is going through. Two sentences is enough.
