Customized Team Training
Give Your Team Back Time, Energy, and Sanity
Your Team Is Capable, but the Work Feels Harder Than It Should
Your team is capable and working hard, but the work feels harder than it should.
Decisions take too long. Priorities are unclear. The same conversations keep happening. Leaders carry decisions other people could make, while team members are unsure what they own or what needs to happen next.
We create customized training that helps your team understand how each person works, use their strengths, communicate clearly, and move shared goals forward without wasting so much time and energy along the way.
Is the Way Your Team Is Working Costing You Time, Energy, and Sanity?
A Leader May Be Thinking
- “We have too many priorities, and everything feels urgent.”
- “We keep having the same conversation, but nothing changes.”
- “I’m carrying decisions my team should be able to make.”
- “I want people to take ownership without burning out.”
A Team Member May Be Thinking
- “I’m not sure which project comes first.”
- “We leave meetings without knowing who is doing what.”
- “I don’t know what I’m allowed to decide.”
- “I’m busy all day, but the important work is not getting done.”
Your team may be struggling with these problems, or it may appear to be functioning well. Either way, there may be more potential than you are currently seeing.
Your people bring different motivations, strengths, working styles, and ways of seeing the world. When those differences are misunderstood, the team can lose time and energy. When they are understood, those differences can become strengths.
What Happens During the Training?
Team members learn about their strengths, motivations, working styles, and natural ways of contributing. They also learn why other people may approach the same situation differently.
We may create a team map that helps everyone see:
- The strengths already present on the team
- How each person contributes to the work
- Where responsibilities or decisions may be unclear
- Which parts of the work give people energy
- Where frustration or burnout may be developing
- What the team needs to move forward
Sessions are interactive and practical. People have time to discuss what they are learning, ask questions, and connect the information to their actual meetings, decisions, responsibilities, relationships, and goals.
This is more than theory. Your team leaves with ideas and strategies it can use in its real work.
Better Teamwork Changes the Work
When people understand themselves and one another, the way the work gets done can begin to change.
Clearer Communication
People can explain what they need, understand what others need, and reduce unnecessary misunderstandings.
Better Decisions
The team can clarify who makes the decision, who provides input, and what needs to happen next.
Greater Ownership
Team members understand their responsibilities and have more confidence to act without everything falling back on the leader.
Strengths Put to Work
People can contribute where they are strongest while appreciating what others bring to the team.
More Progress
The team spends less time repeating conversations and more time moving important projects and shared goals forward.
More Time, Energy, and Sanity
Less confusion, frustration, and unnecessary effort leave people with more capacity for the work that matters.
The result is not simply a team that understands personality types. It is a team that can accomplish more without losing so much time, energy, and sanity in the process.
We Start With Your Team
There is no one-size-fits-all training for every team.
Listen
We begin with a conversation with the leader. We discuss what is going well, what feels harder than it should, where the team is losing time or energy, and what you want to change.
Assess
We look at the needs of the team. Depending on the questions you are facing, we may recommend the Enneagram, Working Genius, or an exploration of productivity styles.
Customize
We design the training around your people, your work, and the results you want. The assessments, activities, examples, format, and follow-up support are chosen specifically for your team.
Who Is Team Training For?
Customized team training is available for:
- Small businesses
- Leadership teams
- Nonprofit organizations
- Churches and ministry teams
- Entrepreneurial teams
- Schools and education teams
- Healthcare teams
- Boards, committees, and project teams
Your team does not need to be in crisis. Training can address current challenges or help a team that is already functioning well discover how much better the work could feel.
Training and Support That Fit Your Team
Every package is customized based on your team’s size, goals, schedule, and support needs.
Focused Team Training
A two-hour session focused on one team need, assessment, or topic. Your team leaves with useful language and practical strategies it can begin applying right away.
Half-Day or Full-Day Training
A four-hour, six-hour, or full-day experience with time for teaching, team mapping, discussion, questions, and application to the team’s real work.
Multi-Session Training Series
Training delivered over several weeks or months. Team members apply what they learn between sessions, return with questions, and continue improving how they work together.
Yearlong Leadership and Team Partnership
This option combines private leadership coaching with one customized team meeting each quarter for a year.
Leadership coaching gives the leader a place to work through decisions, changing priorities, communication challenges, and the needs of individual team members.
Quarterly meetings give the team time to learn, apply new strategies, evaluate what is changing, and address new challenges.
Depending on your team’s needs, the yearlong partnership may include:
- Individual assessments
- A team strengths map
- Private coaching for the leader
- Individual coaching for team members
- Quarterly team meetings
- Follow-up check-ins
- Support with communication, decisions, productivity, and shared goals
The goal is lasting change that helps the team make better use of its time, protect its energy, and move forward without everything depending on the leader.
Training is available virtually or in person. Terrie leads the work, and Jason may join depending on the needs of the team.
Experience Behind the Training
Terrie brings more than 27 years of experience helping people communicate, learn, and navigate change, along with certifications in the Enneagram, Working Genius, and productivity coaching.
