Team-Building

When a team is functioning at its highest capacity, everyone wins—clients, staff, and your bottom line. Conversely, no amount of individual talent can make up for a team that functions within an unhealthy culture or lacks the EQ skills necessary for synergy. For the last 25 years, I’ve been shaping and coaching teams and cultures that find themselves out-of-sync or facing complex challenges. Whether you’re looking for a team tune-up or a turnaround, my job is to assess your current reality and equip your team with the strategies, experiences, and skills they need to thrive. 

 Here’s what team building entails:

1.    Exploratory First Call 

The team leader provides relevant history, team strengths, current challenges, and desired outcomes. Using your insights, I build a customized Team Engagement Proposal (strategy, events and timeline) and submit it for your review and sign off. 

2.    Individual Assessments 

Based on your input, team members are sent links to take online assessment(s) to give deeper insight into team dynamics and current challenges. If indicated, chosen assessments will evaluate individual and team conflict & communication styles, leadership tendencies, and personality profiles. Commonly applied tools include: Five Dysfunctions of a Team, MBTI, Hogan, CliftonStrengths.

3.    On-Site Team Building 

The scope and length of my engagement with your team will be determined by the initial call/assessments and clearly outlined in the Team Engagement Proposal. Depending on your desired outcomes (captured in a customized Team-Building Plan), team-building engagements might include: 

  • One day of on-site team events, trainings, and skill building sessions

  • A series of on-site visits for ongoing coaching

  • Two-day off-site events to dive deeper into team dynamics and leadership development

  • Ongoing follow-up meetings (in-person or distance) with you and/or your team

4.    Ongoing coaching

Depending on the progress and processes delivered at the last on-site, follow-up team or individual coaching is often desired. Ongoing coaching is customized to your needs and can be delivered via on-site visits, video calls, or phone conversations.
