Elements of Growth
“Thank you for teaching us about the magic of collaboration. Experiencing the FreshBiz Collaboratory with your guidance was a life-changing adventure. We’re looking forward to using our skills and building even better partnerships in the future.”
— The Jewish Free Loan Board & Staff
“The Collaboratory was a rare activity that was not only great fun while we “played the game,” but also offered deep learning and insights in the debriefing that, months later, we have continued to leverage.”
— Harry Nelson, Founder of Nelson Hardiman, LLP
“We learned a lot about ourselves and each other in an engaging format — and also walked away with a wider, deeper, broader perspective about the way we play business and life.”
— Lee Broekman, Communication & Collaborative Leadership Trainer at Organic Communication Management Consulting
“The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made. And the activity of making them changes both the maker and the destination.”

Yosef Funke
President, The Funke Agency
In my home, we no longer say, “I don’t know.” Instead, we say, “I wonder that too!” That keeps us open and curious to explore answers, especially if we don’t have one yet.
In business, the available options are not always obvious. In order to get clarity on the desired outcomes and for the next best step to emerge requires us to blend our perspectives, develop shared understandings, and contribute our insights to come up with creative ways to overcome some of today’s most prevalent challenges.
We can overwrite the script that’s been limiting us and direct our attention and actions toward our desired outcomes.
The path is there for us to co-create. All we have to do is to take is the next best step, then the next, and the next. One micro-action at a time, and enjoy our growth along the journey.
Recommendations
“I had the opportunity to participate in the Collaboratory experience with Yosef Funke when he facilitated the experience for our firm as part of our annual attorney retreat. It was an incredibly positive event that engaged our entire group. The Collaboratory was a rare activity that was not only great fun while we “played the game,” but also offered deep learning and insights in the debriefing that, months later, we have continued to leverage. It offered a new language that we continue to draw on as a group. I highly recommend it to any organization or community looking to advance collaboration skills and culture.”

“Yosef facilitated a dynamic and eye-opening game session for my team. He challenged and supported us, championed and inspired us. We learned a lot about ourselves and each other in an engaging format — and also walked away with a wider, deeper, broader perspective about the way we play business and life. I highly recommend Yosef’s training and coaching for teams and individuals wanting greater accomplishment and fulfillment in all they do.”

“My first Collaboratory created a new viewpoint on the universe around me. Gaining an understanding of the power and potential we possess through our own “Action Cards” fundamentally changed my life. Each Collaboratory brings me closer to unlocking my true potential and breaking through the blocks and defensiveness that can hold us all back. If you want to reach your maximum flow and find your true potential, the Collaboratory Series is the way to get you there.”
