Team Development
Build the trust, cohesion, shared vision and commitment necessary to take on new leadership thresholds together.
I develop tailored sessions, sequences, and retreats to help your newly formed or existing team grow stronger together as you take on your biggest and most challenging pursuits. Emerge from each team experience feeling more deeply seen and valued by one another and more equipped and fired up for the work at hand. I work with leadership teams, functional teams, and cross-functional project teams.
-
Strengthen awareness, trust, and relationships as you get to know one another and establish how to work & learn together effectively. You’ll gain greater appreciation of the range of experiences, styles, and strengths you each have and leave with a shared vision and plan for how you want to work together to channel your collective talents, time, and energy towards your goals with impact.
-
Through storytelling, you will illuminate and crystalize your commitment to one another and the shared vision or values guiding the success of your collective work.
-
Feeling knowledgeable about your context, but unsure where to focus?
Sharpen your team’s strategic clarity through a tailored sequence of interactive systems thinking activities. Your team will deepen understanding of the key elements and interdependencies in your ecosystem and uncover key insights about where to focus your efforts. You’ll leave with the shared clarity and commitment to cut through the complexity and noise so you can be focused and successful.
-
Through an interactive energy and time audit, guided reflection, and discussion, illuminate individual and collective ways to spend your most precious resource (your time and energy!) in ways that nurture and sustain team engagement, enjoyment, and energy through the ebbs & flows of work and life.
-
Learn and apply practical frames and tools for navigating the changes you are experiencing and taking on together. You’ll gain self-awareness and interpersonal awareness about how common characteristics of change are showing up and impacting your work and leave with shared language, tools, and deepened trust to lead more effectively through change together.
-
Over multiple meetings, build trust, shared responsibility, and commitment as you work to understand and crystallize or renew your team’s unique purpose, vision for shared leadership, and the agreed expectations and systems for how you’ll lead together with flow, enjoyment, and impact.
-
You will get access to the Intercultural Development Inventory ®, receive customized debriefs of your results, and co-create a tailored development plan.
-
Transform conflict avoidance and disempowerment into movement and possibility. Through team building and skill building, grow self-awareness of how you and colleagues relate to conflict and build your confidence, comfort, and tools for engaging in everyday conflict that actually strengthens your relationships and work together. With this learning, your team can find new paths forward you didn’t previously believe were possible.
-
Coaching has a marked positive impact on performance and workplace culture. Yet, it is often the least often used mode of interaction. With this track of learning your team will learn, implement, and sharpen impactful coaching techniques they can use in their work to ensure they are not just directing tasks and work, but also developing their direct reports’ and colleagues’ lasting confidence, initiative, judgment, and capabilities
