How long does a team building session run?

Session durations vary based on desired outcomes. We work with you to define the activities to help achieve your outcomes. Sessions can be half-day, full-day, or multi-day designs.

Is this virtual, in-person, or both?

Sessions can be delivered as virtual workshops, a multi-day offsite, or part of an annual retreat, depending on what fits your team.

Do you work with new teams, established teams, or both?

Sessions range from New Beginnings, for teams just getting started together, to Embracing Conflict and Strategy & Visioning, for established teams working through specific challenges.

Can team sessions also include a learning component?

We frequently combine our Storytelling Workshops, The Energy of Leadership Workshops, or the Change Management workshops into the team sessions.

A silent team isn’t a healthy team.
Healthy teams build trust and embrace constructive conflict.

Teams come with different personalities and working styles. Their dynamics are ever-changing and vital to your organization’s success. High-performing teams result from regularly reflecting and refining interactions.

Whether you are a new leader or team, avoiding difficult conversations, or struggling with trust or accountability, we can help you figure your stuff out and learn new habits and tools.

We help teams that need to:

Build trust, psychological safety, and collaboration, especially with a new leader or new members
Get comfortable with real disagreement instead of staying quiet to avoid conflict
Align on how to work together as strategy, priorities, or leadership change
Reset after a merger, reorg, or significant change in direction
Prepare for a major initiative, launch, or goal that requires everyone rowing the same way
Kick off a new fiscal year with a clear plan and shared commitments
