Featured Workshop
COMS Communication Styles
COMS Communication Styles draws inspiration from Paul Costa and Robert McCrae’s research on the Big Five Personality Model, introducing how different personality styles prefer to communicate along the spectrums of result-driven vs. interpersonal and reflective vs. assertive.
COMS is an interactive communication styles exploration. Through answering 8 strategically designed questions, you and your team will gain valuable insights into how individuals tend to communicate and interact. By visualising this into a simple but effective grid and delivering an interactive workshop, it can be instrumental in improving team dynamics, reducing conflict, and fostering more effective communication across the organization. Each of the four identified style has its strengths in different contexts. Your team will leave the session knowing with a deeper understanding and appreciation for diverse communication styles as well as how to leverage each approach and adapt their style to maximize impact and drive positive outcomes.
Strategic Planning
This isn’t just another corporate exercise – it’s a chance for you to engage your team in the planning and execution of the organization and an opportunity to align on strategic planning initiatives and actions.
As strategic planning facilitators, we guide organizations through the strategic planning process. We don’t dictate solutions to you, we enable your groups to co-create strategies based knowledge, experience and diversity. We create an environment conducive to open dialogue, innovation, critical thinking, and collaborative decision-making. This role is distinct in that it focuses on empowering your organization rather than imposing external ideas. Our award-winning facilitators are catalysts for transformative decision-making and planning. We do, however, offer guidance and insight into how other organizations operate and offer suggestions you may wish to implement. To us, strategic planning is more than just a single planning session. We work with our clients to help them navigate the strategic plan throughout the months and even years ahead. With our objective lens, we are well-positioned to offer insights into the strategic plan and execution tactics.
Team Building Facilitator FAQs
What does a team building facilitator do?
A team building facilitator designs and leads structured activities that help teams build trust, improve communication, and work better together. They create a safe space where people can reflect on group dynamics and explore new ways of collaborating. Rather than focusing on games alone, facilitators guide experiences that connect back to how the team functions. The goal is to improve relationships, alignment, and everyday performance.
How is facilitated team building different from traditional team outings?
Traditional outings may offer fun but often lack reflection or long-term impact. Facilitated team building focuses on outcomes like trust, shared norms, and clearer communication. Activities are chosen with purpose and tied to specific goals. Facilitators also debrief the experience, helping the group translate insights into action.
When should we bring in a team building facilitator?
Facilitators are helpful when teams are forming, experiencing tension, growing rapidly, or preparing for major changes. They also support regular development during offsites or quarterly planning. When participation, trust, or communication feel stuck, facilitation can help reset the group. You don’t need a major conflict—sometimes the goal is simply building connection.
What types of activities do you use in team building facilitation?
We use reflection-based exercises, collaborative challenges, role-based simulations, and shared problem-solving tasks. Activities are chosen to match the team’s needs, energy, and comfort level. Each session includes discussion and guided meaning-making to support real growth. The work is designed to feel relevant, not random.
Can team building be done virtually or in a hybrid setting?
Yes, we regularly facilitate team building sessions for remote or hybrid teams using digital tools. Activities are adapted for online delivery without losing interactivity or connection. We use breakout rooms, collaborative boards, and guided prompts to keep people engaged. Whether your team is distributed or in person, we design to match the setting.
How long is a team building session?
Team building sessions can range from 90 minutes to a full day depending on your goals. Some teams combine a short session with planning or strategy work. Others dedicate a full day to development and relationship-building. We’ll help you choose a format that fits your group’s schedule and energy.
What outcomes can we expect from a facilitated team building session?
Teams often walk away with better understanding of individual styles, clearer communication norms, and more trust. Many teams also surface patterns that may have gone unspoken. The session helps reset expectations and create shared language. These outcomes carry forward into meetings, collaboration, and day-to-day work.
How far in advance should we book a team building facilitator?
We recommend booking 3 to 6 weeks ahead to allow time for discovery, design, and scheduling. If you have a specific date or location in mind, earlier is always better. We can often accommodate shorter timelines depending on facilitator availability. Early planning gives us more room to tailor the experience to your team.
