Team workshops & offsites
We love working with leadership teams! An effective leads team is foundational to your organization’s success. We support you to transform from a group of individuals into a high-functioning collaborative leadership team.
What you’re working through
In building an effective leadership team, you face a range of challenges, from building trust and empathy to defining strategy, clear ways of working, and decision-making processes. Here are some examples of what we help with:
Developing empathy and trust among team members
Learning more about your customers to improve product development
Building clear ways of working, team norms, and rituals to improve collaboration — including if your team is struggling with being remote or hybrid
Aligning on roles and expectations to increase accountability and ownership
Creating just enough structure to balance autonomy and alignment
Defining product development processes to increase efficiency and reduce friction
Making decisions effectively and inclusively to reduce bias and conflicts
How it works
You and your coach will collaborate to design an agenda with clear outcomes, output, timing, and facilitation ideas. Our team at Frank & Eddy will be responsible for building and distributing materials, facilitating on the day, driving your team towards action, and capturing and sharing next steps with the team afterward.
What you can expect from us
A partner in designing effective sessions (remote or in-person) tailored to your team's needs
A skilled facilitator who can keep the team on track and help them meet their goals
A keen observer who can provide feedback and help you reflect on areas to improve with your team
Inspiration for how to run similar sessions yourself in the future
