“Where and how we facilitate workshops is changing. Because we want to avert the climate emergency. Because right now the cost of transporting entire teams to be co-located is sky-rocketing. Because our organisations have shifted to support remote and hybrid ways of working.
It’s time to find ways to use the technology we have and learn the skills to collaborate brilliantly online.
Our Remote Workshop Workshop will introduce you to multiple digital environments and teach you how to apply creativity and design thinking tools in a virtual space. We’ll also show you how to create and maintain energy and focus, along with techniques for managing challenging participants, which takes a markedly different form, to when you facilitate in person.
The workshop itself will be remote so you will get the chance to experience a remote workshop as a participant and then reflect on it as a facilitator.”

Collaboration is business critical; successful collaboration leads to better quality, more original outputs, improved productivity and people enjoying their work. But just when we need it most, collaboration has taken a real hit. The trust and connection on which it depends doesn’t come as naturally when we’re on video calls all day or having to navigate a hybrid format. Now that hybrid working is here to stay, companies need to find new and effective ways to collaborate.
You’ll come away with:
– An understanding of how hybrid collaboration works
– A model for creating and facilitating collaborations that support your specific goals
– An understanding of how to make the technology work for you rather than getting in your way
– Exercises, tools and techniques to improve your team’s productivity and performance
– The skills to optimise hybrid collaboration by encouraging and managing behaviours
– Curve’s Collaboration Canvas to help you design your ways of working

A virtual number is simply a telephone number which, rather than residing on a telephone or hunt group, is hosted on our system with the primary purpose of forwarding calls to a chosen destination.
Cloud data backups enables yours business with a full range of features for backing up data stored on servers, desktops and notebooks, protecting mission-critical data. All data is stored in the cloud. You can access it online by secure sign-in from any location in the world.
We can port numbers from most other providers subject to you providing a Letter of Authority. There is an administration charge applicable to the porting of any quantity of numbers.
A numbered menu-system for routing calls. You may choose to record your own greeting / menu announcement or we can do this for you.
We offer call recording with cloud storage. This is often a requirement for companies which conduct business via the telephone and can be required by law (for all FCA regulated businesses for example). You are provided with a web panel in which you can view all your call recordings.
The Hunt Group Plus feature is a telephone number that forwards calls to every handset within its group. Your handsets can be programmed so that all handsets ring simultaneously and the first handset lifted will take the call, leaving the rest available to answer any subsequent calls.
If you have the requirement to host your own telephony conferences, we are able to provide a conference phone to suit a range of different meeting environments.
Our standard phone handset provided is a Yealink T21P E2. Each handset includes the following enterprise features:
Other models within the Yealink IP range are available depending on individual requirements. Pricing is available upon request.
Windows VPN connections can be provisioned for Point-to-Point Tunnelling Protocol packets to encapsulate and send private network traffic.
If you require the access to a specific piece of hardware remotely or for any other requirement, then a static IP can be obtained from us.
Our firewall service removes the need for a customer to install their own hardware firewall. It allows them to host services from their office which need to be accessed from outside of the office – for example, an email server.
In addition to our standard office data ports, we can supply a range of 1Gbs 8, 16, 24 and 48 port data switches.
We provide a next-generation Wi-Fi solution designed specifically for multi-tenanted buildings. Our managed wireless technology offers a dual-band access point which is operated via an SDN controller and supports 802.1x authentication.
We also offer dedicated bandwidth to customers in our hosted buildings because, for some businesses, a shared connection isn’t always sufficient to keep their network services online and performing at the right levels. Dedicated bandwidth guarantees access to a fixed amount of bandwidth which is unaffected by increased usage of other businesses in the building.
Our standard offering for dedicated internet access is as follows:
Our Open Secure Internet Access (OSIA) delivers high-speed internet connectivity via a dedicated, fibre-optic leased line, delivering up to 2Gbps of synchronous connectivity to our office spaces. The connection is backed up with alternative connectivity routes, providing diverse resiliency of our network, negating any outages to our internet connectivity services.

With Aly Rahimtoola
9:30-10AM | Thursday 27 May | Uncommon Instagram Live
Session Overview
We will start with sharing data and findings on how COVID-19 has shaped Consumer Wellness and what we can expect – what we can expect the new “normal” to be.
Linking this, Aly will speak a little about the highs and lows of his journey (which is not complete) and some of the tricks that he has adopted to manage the journey. A Q&A will then follow.
About Aly

With Lucy Puttergill
6-6:30PM | Friday 28 May | Uncommon Instagram Live
Session Overview
Breathing is the only way that we can consciously control our autonomic nervous system, it has the power to calm us down, wake us up, pull us out of a funk, help us sleep better, feel better, manage emotion better and generally get better at this old thing called life. In this session, Lucy will give you a brief introduction into the magic of breathing properly but rather than just stick with the science, you’ll also dive into a few breath practices which you can use to give yourself an energy boost, help you sleep at night and help you get centred before that big pitch at work. The secret is all in the nose.
About Lucy
Lucy spent close to 10 years working in sales on the trading floor at two US investment banks but made the difficult decision back in 2020 to take a leap into the unknown and start over again which she wrote (and embarrassingly went viral) about here. Having secretly struggled with the pressures of juggling corporate life with a drive to find purpose, she spent a lot of time on her commutes diving into the world of self development, eastern philosophy and psychology in an effort to better manage her mind & find some sense of purpose. This journey led her to qualify as a yoga teacher back in 2019 whilst she was still working in finance and then subsequently as a Reiki practitioner, Breathwork facilitator, Ayurvedic consultant & coach. She is now working as a transformational coach, helping people transform their thinking, and in turn their lives, through deep guided self-reflection blended with bodywork, yoga & breath.
