Empower your employees to live
meaningful lives.

Every person, including you, should be able to pursue and live a meaningful life. We often think this is limited to our personal lives, but this should also apply to our work lives. A work environment where employees feel restricted or discouraged can foster an uninspiring atmosphere that lacks productivity, creativity and innovation. Appletree exists because there is a growing need for thriving work environments – environments where employees feel heard, engaged and empowered. The work environment should be a place where employees can express their talents, learn new skills and thrive in the right roles.

Our sessions are not an average training session! Through our learning experiences, discover how to shift fresh, relevant content from information to experience as we help you align our material with your unique context and values.

As a manager, you require positive support, enabling you to lead both others and yourself. Our executive coaching will empower you to release the potential of the teams you lead and increase their performance.

We believe that good culture is good business. From culture surveys to strategic consulting, our culture strategy solutions will help you build the kind of company culture that will see your team grow and thrive.

Large or small, every organisation needs inspiration to grow and thrive. Our engaging talks and keynotes will equip your teams with helpful insights in order to shift perspective or motivate change.

We help leaders

• become effective instead of feared
• understand the link between culture and performance
• create an environment that people want to work in
• find new words and tools to improve the work atomosphere
• set a positive atmosphere and temperature

We help employees

• become effective instead of disconnected
• understand that they contribute to a bigger picture in their roles
• support an environment that inspires productivity
• embrace these words and tools as individuals and as teams
• catch the vision and mission set by their leaders

The Daring Way™ is an experiential methodology based on research by Dr. Brené Brown. Led by Appletree’s Liesel Scott, teams explore topics such as vulnerability, courage, shame and worthiness.

The Sett is a unique, collaborative and agile workspace based in Umhlanga, Durban. The purpose of this workspace is to build a diverse community of people who co-work, connect and create within an inspired multipurpose space.

Story Sessions is a live event that brings people together to share stories of intent and purpose. Their goal is to enable listeners to become intentional about living out their authentic selves in their own story.

Xperience goes beyond traditional team building by crafting unique and impactful experiences that have a strategic objective: igniting individual potential and building strong corporate communities.
