Driving Team Development Through Coaching,
Performance & Play
At Orangeworks, we believe the best teams don’t just happen – they’re built through connection, practice, and shared experience. That’s why we’re always innovating the way we deliver team training and team building, blending performance coaching, behavioural tools, and experiential activities to create lasting change.
Recently, our lead facilitator, Oddie Braddell, added two powerful tools to his Orangeworks toolkit:
- Everything DiSC® Certification – a globally recognised framework that gives teams a shared language for communication. It reduces conflict, builds empathy, and strengthens collaboration.
- Gazing Red2Blue® Performance Coaching Certification – a proven method for helping individuals and teams perform under pressure, shifting from reactive “Red Head” states to calm, focused “Blue Head” performance.
Combined with Orangeworks’ experiential learning activities, these certifications mean our programs don’t just energise your team for a day – they provide frameworks and behaviours that stick.
Why This Matters for Your Team
Teams today face unique pressures: hybrid work, constant change, and the demand for innovation. Our integrated approach helps tackle these challenges head-on:
- DiSC + Orangeworks Experiential Activities: Workshops start with practical exercises and games that reveal communication patterns in action. DiSC then gives language and insight to make sense of those patterns, turning experience into shared understanding.
- Red2Blue + Performance Play: Under pressure, teams often slip into reactivity. By combining Red2Blue coaching with interactive challenges, participants learn to reset in the moment – and practice applying “Blue Head” focus in a safe but high-energy environment.
- Long-Term Impact: We don’t stop at one-offs. Many organisations partner with Orangeworks for ongoing coaching and facilitated sessions. Led by Oddie, these programs revisit core themes like Performing Under Pressure, Better Communication, and Empathy in Action every month or quarter – building accountability, reinforcing company culture, and creating long-term growth.
Above all, we know that the strongest teams thrive in an environment of psychological safety – where people feel free to share ideas, take risks, and learn together. Every Orangeworks program is designed with this in mind, so participants not only enjoy the experience but also build trust that lasts well beyond the workshop.
The Orangeworks Edge
Oddie’s journey into facilitation is anything but conventional. A graduate of the Gaiety School of Acting, he has worked as a professional actor, playwright, and director – with credits ranging from the international hit Game of Thrones to the acclaimed Irish play Alone It Stands.
This creative foundation shapes every workshop he leads. His storytelling, stagecraft, and presence make each program memorable and engaging, while his coaching expertise – combined with evidence-based frameworks like DiSC and Red2Blue – ensures teams leave with practical tools they can apply immediately, turning activities into real, measurable development.
If your paths haven’t crossed yet, they need to. Oddie brings a rare blend of performance, coaching and facilitation – all in service of helping your teams thrive.
