For Teams: Frequently Asked Questions
I’m not sure what kind of training my team needs. How do I get started?

My team has been through management training before. How would your approach be any different?
We understand that team trainings can miss the mark and sometimes do more harm than good. Results may not be impactful or sustainable. Buy-in from participants may be uneven. Goals may be unclear or unspecific. Our approach is to carefully design both the content and the process for delivering it. Understanding each team’s unique needs and dynamics is key to trainings that work. We combine the best practices of applied psychology and leadership to meet teams where they’re at in their own development and level of functioning, and customize experiences accordingly.
Are team-based trainings worth the effort?
Yes, if designed well. People are by far the most important asset of any organization. And a trusting, high-functioning teams are a competitive advantage. People who work in high-trust companies are 76% more engaged, 50% more productive, and 40% more resilient compared to those who work in low-trust environments (Paul J. Zak, Trust Factor: The Science of Creating High-Performance Companies). Our trainings can be invaluable opportunities to give your team the building blocks to create cohesion and trust.
My team is a small unit with a limited budget. Are you flexible with costs?
Yes, we can design interventions for most any budget. Team building is often perceived as a luxury for only the largest, most profitable corporations. But we see the value in training interpersonal skills to small businesses, family businesses, non-profits, and service-industry providers as well. Even if your organization operates on very lean margins, we can develop affordable and effective programs. We are especially committed to helping teams with socially responsible missions.
