Great teams are so much more than a collection of people who do great work on their own and happen to be in the same team meeting every week. Unfortunately, as humans, we aren’t designed to work perfectly well together, which is why spending time on how you work as a team means that you can be greater than the sum of your siloed-parts.
It’s easier said than done, but with team effectiveness programs, team coaching, and focused offsite experiences, we can help you do amazing things together (not just alongside one another).
RETREATS + OFFSITE EXPERIENCES
Offsite events create designated time and space for the big picture thinking your team never seems to have time for. When you want — no, NEED — to dig deeper into the meaty issues that no longer feel optional for success, it’s time to take your team out of the office and work together in a different way.

Explicitly outlining company culture (current vs. desired “way things are around here”)
Setting one-, three-, five-year goals (and the really big crazy goals too)

Sharing feedback
Celebrating well-deserved achievements
Developing a team that will challenge and improve one another

TEAM EFFECTIVENESS PROGRAMS
Our team development program brings together all the work we do with teams. It’s a comprehensive program that includes individual and team assessments, coaching for individuals, customized team meetings, and offsite experiences.

(This leads to better productivity, engagement, results, profit, and ROI.)
Build trust and connection within your team
Develop an understanding of your respective strengths and working styles
Get you clear on and aligned with what needs to be done
Build accountability as a group

The content of your team effectiveness program is created in partnership with you. You know what’s working (what you want more of) and where things could be (oh so much) better. With our needs analysis and discovery process, we leverage our insights to do things like:
