Building Positive Teams

Pre-event Consult (30 minutes) The team leader and the facilitator will review the group information, align on outcomes for the event, and cover any other details to ensure a successful program.

Introduction (5 minutes) Our staff welcome participants and set expectations for the program.

Warm-ups & Energizers (5-10 minutes) We lead a few fun activities that break the ice and get participants involved and ready to dive in.

Intro Challenge (15-30 minutes) A thought-provoking activity that requires ideas and input from the entire group to solve. This gets the group engaged and thinking about what they want to get out of the workshop.

Leadership Deep Dive (30-45 minutes) This is a quick- reference guide to understanding the core factors that determine how people operate and how times of uncertainty affect people differently. Leaders will understand what the people on their team need individually and as a group.

The Leader’s Mindset Exercise (30-45 minutes) People tend to get what they focus on. The goal in this section is to for leaders to identify where their team’s mindset is currently and where it needs to be. Leaders will move through a step-by-step process for how to direct their team’s focus, keep them on track, and support them during tough times.

The Teamwork Compass® (15-20 minutes) This is a short, interactive conversation about the key ingredients of teamwork, how different team members have a stronger affinity for some of those ingredients, and how to bring them all together to be an unstoppable team.

Beyond the Challenge (20-30 minutes) In this section, leaders will explore how to use turbulent times to bring out the best in themselves and their team. By understanding how we grow as individuals, leaders will be able to enlist the deepest aspirations in their team to bring them out of a challenge stronger than ever.

Final Teamwork Challenge (20-30 minutes) This challenge continues to draw upon the team’s ability to bring together each person’s perspectives and combine them to create a successful outcome. The conversation afterward reviews the whole brain thinking styles and how they helped the team find a solution.

Closing & Wrap-up Activity (5-15 minutes) The group shares what the event has meant to them, decisions they have made based on their experience, and how they can apply those lessons.

Post-event Consult (30 minutes) A few days after the program, the team leader and the facilitator review how the group responded to the event, how to maximize the content, and what the leader can do to further support the team.
