HOW WELL DO THE MEMBERS OF YOUR TEAM REALLY KNOW EACH OTHER?
Too many employees interact with their coworkers based on the people they THINK THEY ARE – Not the people they TRULY are.
They think their colleague comes into work tired on Thursdays because they were out partying the night before.
If they asked why, they might find out that every Wednesday night their co-worker has to drive 2 hours out of town to visit their dying mother in the hospital. If they knew this, they would move from seeing this person as selfish to selfless.
Your team members work next to each other every day, but do the REALLY know each other?
Google’s quest to build the perfect team uncovered that the #1 indicator of a high-performing, innovative team is the psychological safety and trust that develop largely through SOCIAL CONNECTIONS.

NO CHEESY TRUST FALLS
HOW WE CAN HELP
We’ll invite you to participate in fun, experiential group exercises that your team won’t groan at by creating a save space where your employees feel safe to take small risks and connect in a meaningful way.
This is not about finding your best friend or soul mate at work (although that could happen), but using your ability to connect with real human beings during real life human encounters on a daily basis, while still maintaining your professionalism.
Many growing companies have the unique challenges of having to produce high quality results in a short time. This requires maintaining a strong team cohesion. That’s not an easy task when working under deadline, uncertainty, and sometimes power or personality conflicts.
Bringing in an outside consultant or facilitator takes the pressure off your leadership team. When your employees feel valued and connected at work, they are more motivated, provide each other with emotional support to get unstuck and make better decisions since team members feel safe to share information.
We work with teams of 5 – 100 people and are happy to create a custom package that fits the needs of your company. If there is a specific challenge or theme that you want to focus on, then get in touch for a custom quote.
