Renewing Organizations

We build lasting organizational impact by fostering clarity of purpose, defining roles, and cultivating relational trust resulting in a culture that will improve recruitment, onboarding and retention.

Constructive Communication: A Process for Team Synergy

Trust is fundamental to a harmonious team, and it’s frequently built or broken through communication. When team members struggle to communicate effectively, they can’t collaborate to establish shared expectations and achieve team objectives. Understanding individual communication preferences will foster constructive dialogue and healthy conflict.

Result: Renewed innovation and problem solving.

Cultivate a More Collaborative Workplace

Effective collaboration is often the linchpin of success for most teams. The Birkman High Performing Teams workshop empowers companies and teams to achieve this by fostering a shared purpose, promoting clarity, and nurturing a culture of psychological safety.

Result: Reduced confusion and enhanced connection within the team.

Cultivating Healthy Conflict in Teams

Conflict is an inherent aspect of collaboration. However, if not managed effectively, it can significantly hinder a culture of innovation and high performance. By fostering a greater understanding of diverse personalities and their potential to cause conflict, teams can learn to engage in healthy disagreement.

Result: All members feel respected and heard, even amidst differing viewpoints.

Boost Employee Engagement and Motivation

Energize your team by aligning tasks with individual interests. When work resonates with employees’ natural inclinations, they experience greater fulfillment, leading to increased energy and motivation.

Result: Better engagement with their roles and responsibilities.

Employee Workstyles: Leveraging Natural Strengths for Team Success

Every individual brings a unique contribution to a team. However, the highest-performing teams are those that effectively leverage the differences in these individual strengths. By identifying how the natural workstyles of team members can complement each other, employees learn to rely on their own strengths and the strengths of their colleagues.

Result: Improved collaborative approaches that fully realize the team’s distinct purpose.

Fulfilling Workplace Needs

Beyond salary and benefits, understanding and addressing the complex psychological needs of individuals is crucial for fostering engagement and job satisfaction. When these hidden needs are met, employees thrive, bringing their most productive selves to the workplace.

Result: reduced stress, improved communication, and healthier conflict resolution.

“Kevin recently led a team-building session with our staff. He did an amazing job…. to get us all to think about how we interact with others on our team. He captivated all of us. His explanations were clear, interesting and often personal. He put all of us at ease quickly… In just two hours he did more to build a culture of acceptance, empathy, and curiosity in our organization than others had managed to do over weeks.”
