Team kick-off Workshop

Get off to a great start by setting the stage for great teams and projects … all while bringing out the best in people

This workshop is ideal for new teams and kick-offs but could be taken at any time to get the team on the same page.  The intention is to allow teams to get to know each other beyond a superficial level and to think about the purpose and meaning of the work they are about to begin. Participation will be managed to establish trust and psychological safety, with whole team contribution. This workshop will answer Fred Kofman’s question in his book The Meaning Revolution. “How do we get them to accomplish their individual missions, but also to subordinate their missions to the large mission of the organization, so that the whole team wins?”.
