Building Highly Engaged Teams
U.S. businesses lose over $550 billion annually in lost productivity due to disengaged employees and ineffective team dynamics. This engaging and hands-on workshop is designed for businesses and nonprofits ready to build the kind of courageous, connected, and high-performing teams that drive real results. Grounded in three of today's most influential leadership frameworks — Brené Brown's Dare to Lead, Amy Edmondson's The Fearless Organization, and Patrick Lencioni's The Five Dysfunctions of a Team — our workshop takes leaders and teams on a purposeful journey from developing courageous leadership from within, to creating psychologically safe environments where people can do their best work, to dismantling the dysfunctions that silently erode trust, accountability, and performance. Whether you're a growing business or a mission-driven nonprofit, this workshop gives you the tools, language, and shared framework to stop leaving potential on the table and start building a team culture that sustains results long after the workshop ends.
Leading Meetings That Matter
U.S. companies lose over $37 billion annually due to unproductive meetings, with mid-level managers spending up to 35% of their time in meetings that add little or no value. Poorly facilitated meetings lead to wasted time, disengaged employees, unclear decisions, and stalled progress. This hands-on training experience is designed for organizations looking to transform their meeting culture, boost team engagement, and reclaim lost time and resources. Based on research and best practices from Steven Rogelberg's The Surprising Science of Meetings, the compelling storytelling of Patrick Lencioni's Death by Meeting, and the intentional, purpose-driven framework of Priya Parker's The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters, this workshop equips leaders and facilitators with proven strategies to plan purposeful agendas, manage group dynamics, and drive decisions that stick. Participants will leave with practical tools and a clear framework to immediately improve the productivity and efficiency of every meeting they lead.

Using CQ® to Build High Impact Global Teams
Research indicates that a significant majority of international business ventures, often cited as high as 70%, fail due to cultural misunderstandings, miscommunication, and failure to adapt to local markets, rather than technical incompetence. These failures cost companies millions of dollars in lost productivity, wasted investment, and failed market entries.
Cultural Intelligence or CQ® is the ability to work effectively with people who think, communicate, and lead differently–across teams, industries, cultures, generations, and perspectives.
In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore the core components of the Cultural Intelligence Framework: Drive, Knowledge, Strategy, and Action, and leave with actionable strategies to communicate effectively, collaborate seamlessly, build trust, and drive results across cultures.
Ideal for organizations working with global clients, faith communities supporting international missions or teams preparing to expand internationally.
