The Working Relationship Advantage
Build Stronger Working Relationships to Fuel Higher Performance
An interactive 3-hour workshop helping teams understand what really makes each other tick, so they can reduce invisible friction, communicate in ways that land, bring out the best in one another and achieve even more together
Powered by PRINT® The Why of You.
“After more than 20 years working with leaders and teams, one thing I've seen time and again is that having great people doesn't automatically mean you're getting the best out of them together.
Even the most capable, committed teams have untapped potential in how they communicate, collaborate and bring out the best in one another.
And I've learned that one of the most powerful ways to unlock that potential is through stronger working
relationships.
When people truly understand what makes each other tick, communication lands, influence becomes
easier and people back each other.
They achieve more together. And that's when performance really starts to compound.
That's why I created The Working Relationship Advantage Workshop.”
- Laura Thain, Executive Coach & Facilitator
You've got great people. But are they leaving performance on the table?
Your people are talented, committed and delivering results. But sometimes getting the best out of them together costs more time and effort than it should.
Perhaps you're noticing...
Decisions and ideas take longer to gain buy-in than they should
People excel in their own roles, but don't always leverage each other's strengths
Communication doesn't always land as intended, creating unnecessary friction or back-and-forth
Teams work well independently, but collaboration across roles or departments could be stronger
You spend more time than you'd like getting people aligned, rather than seeing them move forward together
There's another level of performance available when capable people know how to get the best out of one another.
And often, unlocking it doesn't require an investment in more technical capability, another process or a new system.
It requires stronger working relationships.
''Laura's introduction and successful roll out of the PRINT Strategies & Tools for the leaders within our business was incredibly insightful, and allowed us to better understand our core motivators and drivers and how we can operate as our best self, whilst also being better leaders to those around us. I would confidently recommend Laura to anybody looking for an Executive Coach''
Jarrad J, Director, Professional Services
Understand Each Other. Work Brilliantly Together.
Something powerful happens when people truly understand what makes themselves and each other tick.
They begin to recognise what's driving their own reactions, and see the reasons behind other people's behaviours, rather than making assumptions about them.
Understanding grows. Trust strengthens. And people learn how to get the best out of themselves and one another.
Conversations become easier.
People listen and hear each other out.
Ideas and decisions gain traction faster.
Colleagues seek each other's input, offer support and have each other's backs.
They genuinely enjoy working together. And they want to stay.
That's when stronger relationships translate into stronger collective performance.
And that's what The Working Relationship Advantage is designed to unlock.
Imagine what more your people could achieve together
The Working Relationship Advantage
A PRINT®-powered, 3-hour team workshop designed to help your people understand themselves and each other more deeply, build trust and learn how to get the best out of one another
Participants will:
✅ Understand what drives them and the people around them — including the unconscious needs that influence how they communicate, respond and perform
✅ Recognise what brings out their Best Self — and what can trigger their Shadow behaviours — so they can manage their own reactions and avoid unnecessarily triggering others
✅ Learn how to communicate and influence each other more effectively — adapting their approach rather than expecting everyone to think, process or respond the same way
✅ Have honest conversations about what they need from each other to do their best work — building greater understanding, trust and connection across the team
✅ Leave with practical actions to strengthen their working relationships — so they can apply what they've learned long after the workshop ends
Self-awareness is powerful. But when a whole team understands themselves and each other, working relationships can really change the game.
The Day To Day Difference…
CONVERSATIONS THAT LAND
Instead of repeating themselves, second-guessing reactions or struggling to get buy-in, people know how to approach each other so conversations flow and ideas gain traction.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE EACH OTHER'S BACK
Instead of simply working alongside each other, people actively seek each other's perspectives, share ideas, offer support and know they can count on one another.
RESPONDING NOT REACTING
Instead of taking things personally or getting caught up in unhelpful reactions, people recognise their own triggers, understand what drives others and choose how to respond more constructively.
You don't need to change people's personalities to change how effectively they work together

The key to understanding what makes people tick...
PRINT® - The Why Of You helps us get there faster.
Most of us can describe how the people around us behave.
But understanding why they behave that way is another matter.
PRINT® is a statistically validated assessment that uncovers the unconscious motivators driving our behaviour — what we need to operate at our Best Self, and what can trigger our Shadow behaviours when those needs aren't being met.
And that's where things get interesting for a team.
When people understand why they respond the way they do, and why their colleagues might respond completely differently, they begin to see each other through a new lens.
Assumptions give way to understanding. Differences become easier to navigate. And people learn how to bring out more of the best in themselves and one another.
PRINT® gives teams a shared language for understanding what makes each other tick, building trust and strengthening their working relationships.
And because everyone arrives at the workshop with their own insights, we don't need to spend three hours scratching the surface.
We can get straight to the conversations that make a meaningful difference.
How The Working Relationship Advantage Works?
The Relationship Advantage is designed as a three-phase approach - building individual insight first, turning that insight into collective understanding, then helping the team embed what they've learned back in the real world.
PHASE ONE: Understand
Individual PRINT® Profiling
Before the workshop, every participant completes their own PRINT® – The Why of You assessment (10–15 minutes online), uncovering:
Their unique unconscious motivators
Their Best Self and Shadow behaviours
What triggers them
The conditions that help them perform at their best
Each person receives their own PRINT® profile, offering powerful insight into why they think, feel and behave the way they do, particularly under pressure.
The result: Everyone arrives with greater self-awareness and a shared language to explore how their individual needs and behaviours influence their working relationships.
PHASE TWO: Transform
3-hour Interactive In-person Workshop | 3 to 10 people
This is where individual insight becomes collective understanding.
Through facilitated discussion, reflection and interactive exercises, the team will:
Discover what makes each other tick, including what brings out their Best Self and triggers their Shadow.
Explore how their different needs, motivations and behaviours affect one another.
Apply their insights to real working relationships and everyday situations.
Have honest conversations about what they need from each other to do their best work.
Agree practical actions and commitments to strengthen their relationships moving forward.
The result: People leave understanding each other differently, with practical ways to communicate, collaborate and bring out the best in one another.
PHASE THREE: Embed
Integration + Follow-through
The real test comes when everyone gets back to work.
Over the following month, the team puts their new understanding into practice, noticing what's changing, what's working and where old patterns may still show up.
Leader Integration Session | 60 Minutes Online
Around 2–3 weeks after the workshop, a private session with the team leader to explore what's changed, address any remaining challenges and identify ways to reinforce the learning.
Team Relationship Clinic | 60 Minutes Online
Around one month after the workshop, the whole team reconnects to share observations, explore real situations and work through questions or challenges using their new shared understanding.
The result: The learning is revisited, reinforced and applied where it matters most — in everyday working relationships.
