Building Resilience & Cohesion
How walnut.coach helped Société Générale — one of Europe's leading financial institutions — build team resilience, navigate change, and strengthen team bonds through an expertly facilitated gamified coaching experience.
A Banking Team Navigating Change & Pressure
Soc Gen came to walnut.coach at a time of significant organisational change — when teams needed both the inner resilience to adapt and the team bonds to pull through together.
Resilience Was Being Stretched
In a high-stakes banking environment undergoing transformation, team members were feeling the strain of change. The ability to adapt, recover, and remain engaged was being tested.
Change Management Gaps
Teams understood that change was happening but lacked practical tools and mental frameworks to lead and navigate it effectively without burning out.
Team Bonds Needed Strengthening
In demanding environments, relationships often become purely transactional. The team needed a structured experience to strengthen genuine connection and mutual support.
Leaders Needed to Role-Model Resilience
Managers and leaders needed to not just survive change but to demonstrate resilience, calm, and optimism in a way their teams could follow.
Gamified Coaching Session
A carefully designed gamified coaching session led by expert coach Priya Sharma, combining play, practical frameworks, and deep resilience coaching.
- Players run a movie production house competing for actors and technicians
- Auction-based bidding and critical thinking under pressure
- Negotiation and collaborative decision-making
- Appreciates the value of collaboration in competitive atmosphere
- Builds presence and mindfulness through intensity
The Bollywood Bubble game broke down every wall in the room. And then Priya did what I've never seen a coach do — she made us realise that being resilient isn't about being tough. It's about being together.
What Changed After the Program
A single session delivered shifts that rippled across the team — moving them from surviving change to genuinely navigating it together.
Change-Ready Mindsets
Participants left with practical frameworks for navigating and leading change. Fear of uncertainty reduced. Leaders felt more equipped to hold their teams steady in turbulent times.
Stronger Team Bonds
The shared game experience and coaching sessions created genuine emotional connection. Teams who'd worked side by side for years felt like they were meeting each other properly for the first time.
Self-Aware Leaders
Priya Sharma's coaching helped participants understand their own patterns under pressure — and how to interrupt those patterns before they affected their teams.
Higher Morale & Energy
The combination of laughter (Bollywood Bubble) and depth (resilience coaching) left participants energised, optimistic, and more connected to the purpose and people of their work.
