There are key dynamics that exist in every healthy, thriving business or organization. Factors like mutual respect, support, trust, communication, encouragement, community, leadership, and a team-oriented perspective are all critical to the longevity and success of any organization.
But let’s be transparent. Those characteristics are in pretty short supply in today’s polarized and often contempt-driven culture.
As a result, many are feeling the need to intentionally pursue and foster healthy group dynamics within an organization, and to create a culture where people feel heard, connected, and valued. Recognizing and identifying how team members’ roles and behaviors impact others and the group as a whole, is a critical step toward building these healthy team dynamics.
For nearly 30 years we have been helping corporations, small businesses, schools, churches, municipalities, sports teams, and civic organizations identify and develop these healthy group dynamics and move their organizations and individual team members forward toward long-term success.
Some groups need a little help with this process. Some need much more.
Our broad program categories outlined below reflect this continuum, so whether you’re looking for some long-overdue bonding and connection time and fun for your team, or you need a deep dive that’s designed to develop long-term strategies for team growth and success, we have the tools and experience to help.
Team Bonding Programs
Sometimes, all a team needs is to have some good, old-fashioned fun together! In our Team Bonding programs, the primary goal is establishing and/or strengthening personal relationships within a team or group. In these programs, the emphasis is placed on fun, personal connection, and spending time together in a non-work atmosphere so that team members can get to know each other and just enjoy being together. Team Bonding is often the starting point for Team Building and Team Development Programs.
Recommended minimum duration for reaching your goals: 4 hrs. to 1 Day
Team Building
Although all our programming incorporates a healthy dose of fun and connection, often a team or organization is seeking to build upon those connections and go a little deeper. In our Team Building programs the primary goal is establishing and/or strengthening work connections and cultural dynamics by creating an atmosphere where trust, accountability, communication, shared decision-making, and the diversity of team members’ strengths and abilities is celebrated and expanded upon within a team or group. Using models, ideas and systems developed by renowned authors and teachers like Stephen Covey, Simon Sinek, and Bruce Tuckman, our team building programs help create strategies and a group culture that results in success that transfers from the program to the school, team, church, organization, or work environment.
Recommended minimum duration for reaching your goals: 1-3 Days
Team Development
In a Team Development program, the primary goal is to expand upon and deepen the learning, growth, and connection experienced through Team Bonding and Team Building, and to dive more deeply into the group’s cultural dynamics, systems of communication, and ways of understanding, relating to, and valuing other team members. Team Development’s purpose is to take a concentrated look into a team’s interpersonal and organizational relationships in order to uncover and address dynamics that may be hindering cohesion, efficiency, and group success. Team Development programs often utilize tools such as Disk, Meyers-Briggs or Birkman personality assessment systems, individual and group coaching, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation to accomplish the team’s goals and heighten team success.
Recommended minimum duration for reaching your goals: 2-3 Days – Ongoing
