We deliver unique evidence-based wellbeing experiences for your employees, centred around strengthened personal relationships and the direct link between contentment at home and success in the workplace.
Our workshops (currently held as Virtual Masterclasses) help to drive effective employee performance by proactively supporting employers to create and maintain compassionate working environments.
Our workshops
Our workshops are built around our intrinsic belief that human problems are business problems.
The Intime Collective started out by tapping into the niche requirements of working couples moving into the new, exciting, and often overwhelming world of parenthood. Our flagship workshop, Better Together, was born out of Louise’s own experience around the change people go through in their personal relationships when having children. Today, Better Together continues to bring evidence-based methodology to masterclass participants, driving solutions on achieving sustained intimacy and greater wellbeing to working parents.
What’s more, we’ve since expanded our offerings to deliver a series of workshops to suit every employee – parents and non-parents alike. By learning to refocus and fortify their personal and intimate relationships, your employees will perform better and live their best lives – at work, rest and play.
Talk to us about your needs – and those of your employees – to design a workshop solution that’s best suited to you.
“Research shows that 2 in 3 couples will be unsatisfied in their relationship with each other within 3 years of the birth of their baby.”
We support working parents to strengthen their relationship, to empower them to bring their best selves to work.
“Relationship issues are linked to depression and sick days.”
But through preventive measures, we can decrease absenteeism.
Better prepared. Better acquainted. Better performance.
Our human-centered corporate program uses storytelling, processes, and tools that will fortify, finetune and refocus expecting and working parents on achieving sustained intimacy and greater wellbeing – so that they, their families, and their careers can thrive.
“The best companies in the world take an active, supportive interest in the person as a whole, and that changes everything.”
– Patrick Lencioni, Founder of The Table Group
Meet Louise
Better for the experience.
I have established myself as a pair of safe hands — someone who can confidently be relied on for leading large scale and complex change and transformation programs. Leading people through change has been central to my career. Disruption is my jam.
After personal experience, I’m now going for the hardest hitting point of change and transition; facing into a topic that is complex, but needs to be spoken about. It’s the change people go through in their personal relationships when having children.
I believe that engaged employees are central to organisational performance and performance excellence. I believe people are the lifeblood of an organisation, and I believe a person’s wellbeing is central to how they show up at work – and in life.
These beliefs, my extensive education in the space, big corporate experience, and collaborative, yet directional approach has culminated in the introduction of the Intime Collective.
“The Intime Collective’s goal is to transform the lives and relationships of your employees for the wellbeing of both their families and their careers.”
– Louise Gilbert, Founder & Director
If you’re a leader within a high performing and progressive organisation that engenders a culture of care and performance, it’s likely that diversity, inclusion, and flexibility are the heartbeat of your organisation.
On a personal level, you believe you have a moral and practical responsibility for nurturing the careers of all who are under your organisation’s employ. In fact, you make it your personal mission to help employees discover their personal purpose and bring their whole – and best selves to work every day.
“Empathetic leadership leads to the connection which drives innovation resulting in better business performance.”
Satya Nadella, CEO Microsoft.

comprehensive evidence-based and evidence-tested psychoeducational training
modules contingent on your organisation’s ability to incorporate the program into the working week
scalable formats to accommodate your organisation’s operating rhythm (think: lunch and learn up to classroom-style training)
tailored take-home activities that will guide participants, their partners and children through the principles of change – including gamification-themed activities and “Better Together,” an interactive eBook for kids
“Employees are up to 8 X more likely to be engaged when wellbeing is a priority in their workplace.”
