Want to Try a Proven Way to Build True Team Connection - Before You Bring in the Whole Team?

Breaking Bread® is a virtual, live, immersive, team development event where leaders and their teams come together to break down barriers, build trust, and connect through the engaging metaphor of baking and breaking sourdough bread. 

It's connection… baked in.

 Why Breaking Bread?

Because Your Team—and Your Success—Depend on It.

High stress, incivility, and miscommunication are costing US businesses $2 Billion every day because stress is rising, and traditional ways of connecting aren’t cutting it anymore.

As a team leader, you may already know first hand that traditional team training isn't cutting it anymore, either. But you still need to create a connected, welcoming environment where everyone can thrive...

That’s why the Breaking Bread Experience combines the art of sourdough baking with proven strategies for creating strong, authentic connections—no matter how high the stakes, no matter how different or dispersed your team may be.

• 🥖 Reduce Incivility: Create a respectful, supportive environment where issues don’t escalate.

This isn’t just a bread-making class—it’s a transformative approach to leadership. Join us to build the civil, connected workplace your team deserves. Limited spots available!

Here's Why Sourdough Bread is the Perfect Way to Learn Enhanced Connection:

Authentic and Real: Like true connection, sourdough is the real deal—no shortcuts, no faking it.

Generational Bridge: Sourdough is cool and relatable for everyone, from Gen Z to Boomers—a rare chance to connect without work talk.

Q: Is this just another training gimmick?
A: Absolutely not! The Breaking Bread Experience is grounded in solid communication theory and practical workplace applications. And the sourdough itself isn't just a cutesy boondoggle. The baking process is a form of active meditation. It frees up your overstretched working memory so you can destress, connect and learn more easily. You'll walk away with concrete skills and strategies that you can implement immediately to improve your team's dynamics and productivity.

Q: How does this actually improve my communication or work life?

The shared experience also builds camaraderie between you and your peers - all in a convivial, non-combative environment.

Q: What equipment do I need to participate?
A: You'll need a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. For baking, we'll send you a kit including a sourdough starter and tools. You'll just need access to an oven, a worktop, and a baking vessel of some sort.
