Individuals & Teams

From Talented Individuals to Extraordinary Teams

A productive, high-functioning team:

• Makes better, faster decisions
• Taps into the skills and opinions of all members
• Avoids wasting time and energy on politics, confusion and destructive conflict
• Avoids wasting time talking about the wrong issues and revisiting the same topics over and over again because of a lack of buy-in
• Creates a competitive advantage
• Is more fun to be on!

The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team® is a unique learning experience that prepares individuals for success in teams. The New York Times best-selling author Patrick Lencioni and the power of industry-leading workplace assessment tools come together in a breakthrough program proven to deliver business results

Participant Take-Aways

Teams understand how they score on the key components of The Five Behaviors model: Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability, and Results.

Individual team members will learn about their own personality style and the styles of their team members—based on the Everything DiSC® model—and how their style contributes to the team’s overall success.

Our programs are different because we will customize the workshop to fit your specific needs.  This program can be offered as virtual or in-person workshops ranging from ½ day – full day programs.  We can also incorporate this program into a longer-term engagements to deliver the most value to your organizations.

Inclusion & Diversity Workshop

Now, more than ever, organizations need to ensure employees are behaving inclusively so there can be a safe and productive workplace for all.  Studies show that corporations that have a diverse AND inclusive environment far exceed revenue goals.  

Our I&D workshops are a combination of education, reflection, engagement, and action.  When your employees attend the session, they will leave with a better understanding of their similarities and  differences, committed to working together and being prepared with tools to have courageous conversations back in their daily lives.

Your group will have a safe place to reflect on their own biases, learn new perspectives from their colleagues and commit to actionable change for themselves and those around them.

Participant Take-Aways

• Fulfill their position as a role model to promote the value and importance of Inclusion and Diversity

• Identify Unconscious Bias and know how to overcome it
• Become a more inclusive leader.
• Foster dialogue of diverse subjects within a safe environment.

We utilize a variety of techniques to meet these objectives including using facilitated dialogues, multimedia (video vignettes), individual reflection/journals, quizzes, large and small group activities, and accountability partnerships for commitments.

Workshop Content

Our six-hour1 Inclusion and Diversity workshop includes the following:

• Identification of our own and others’ communication styles*

Do we know why we engage the way we do? And do we empathize with why others engage differently?   

• Exploration and alignment about what Inclusion and Diversity is (and what it is not)

We need a baseline common language from which to build upon.

• Recognizing Unconscious Bias, Accepting It and Knowing What to Do About it

If you have a brain, you have bias.  This isn’t right or wrong, it just is. It’s what you choose to do with it that’s important.

• Engaging in Courageous Conversations

How do you develop a trusting environment where it is safe to debate, challenge and learn about differences among us.   

• Building Inclusive Teams

Once we agree that there is diversity in our teams and classrooms, how do we as leaders ensure everyone is included in an equitable manner?

• Commitments and Actions

A workshop without the WORK is just a six-hour holiday away from our daily job.  What will we commit to going forward and what specific actions will we hold each other accountable for in the “real” world.

1 This workshop can be customized for 3-hour or 4-hour sessions.  Session size is usually max 25 participants to allow for enhanced dialogue and participation. For larger group size, we recommend two facilitators for effective management.  Pricing can be adjusted. 

*For an additional fee, we can provide the Everything DiSC Workplace assessment through which each participant will learn more about their style and how to improve the effectiveness of working with others who have  different styles.  Each participant receives a personalized, detailed report which would be debriefed in the workshop.
