Experience:
Is creating an inclusive and collaborative work culture where employees are engaged and accountable one of your goals? Would you like to improve your ability to attract and retain committed and mission-driven talent? Would you like tools to transform or improve your culture to one of mutual respect and collaboration where everyone feels heard and there is no blaming or finger pointing? Do you need to create or update your strategic plan and align work with your core values, mission, and priorities? Our TBW’s are individually designed to meet your unique desired outcomes.
In our pre-planning session with your Leadership Team, we conduct an environmental scan to identify the key themes, challenges, and team dynamics. Common themes we have helped our clients successfully address include recruitment and retention, accountability, communication, team alignment, trust building, succession planning, diversity, and positive cultural change.
We use frameworks and models from our 40 virtual and on-site staff training courses to build your personal agenda. We provide practical tools you and your team can apply immediately, including Value-based Team Agreements, Critical Conversations, Situational Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, Radical Candor, DiSC Personality Styles, TK Conflict Mode Instrument, NVC (Non-Violent Communication), Stress Reduction, and Mindfulness.
