No Umbrellas is founded by members of Gen X and Gen Z delivering research-based interactive workshops. Our facilitated workshops bridge generational divides within the workplace, enhance team collaboration and generate ideas and actions around better ways of working.
Every workshop explores the challenges teams face with different generations and uncover ideas on better ways to manage, motivate, support and retain team members.
About Us
Both sides (managers and team members) have valid frustrations, but the problem we’ve found is that the frustrations remain with the individual groups instead of being shared and actioned. Which is where our workshops come in, bringing your teams together to better understand how individuals from different generations want to be managed and supported.
Our outcomes are team lead, we share research and insights to drive curious discussion around how we support each other.
“Our ways of working have changed so much in the last 5 years let alone 20. Yet so little has really changed when it comes to management styles and how we motivate and manage younger teams.”
- Florence, No Umbrellas Founder -
“No Umbrellas helped us move beyond frustrations by fostering empathy and guiding us toward actionable, team-led strategies.”
- Jenny Lee, NSW/SA/WA State Manger -
Why ‘no umbrellas’?
Don’t get us wrong, we love an umbrella (especially in Melbourne when you need to be prepared for ‘four seasons in one day!’) problem is they close you off, stop you interacting with the environment, looking up and seeing the beauty of the day.
Our name comes from the idea of people bringing an “Umbrella to a Brainstorm”. No Umbrellas is about leaving yourself exposed, to being vulnerable and available to new ideas – after all you can’t grow anything without some rainfall.
