Team Alignment Workshops

The team alignment workshop is the most impactful single intervention in behavioral team development. In three hours, a well-facilitated workshop can produce more behavioral awareness, more collision accommodation, and more productive working agreements than months of individual coaching. The key is structure — a workshop without structure is a conversation, and conversations do not produce lasting behavioral change.

1. Phase 1: Profile Sharing (45 minutes) Each team member shares their profile and what it means for how they work: their strengths, their development areas, their stress responses, and their communication preferences. Sharing creates mutual awareness — "I had no idea that is why you need advance notice" — that dissolves attribution errors instantly. Vulnerability in sharing builds trust.
2. Phase 2: Collision Mapping (60 minutes) As a team, map the dimensional collisions between members. Identify which pairs have predicted friction points and which have natural synergies. The mapping is done publicly — not to embarrass, but to normalize. "We have four predicted collision points on this team. All of them are dimensional, not personal. Let's design the accommodations."
3. Phase 3: Working Agreements (75 minutes) For each collision point, the affected pair designs a working agreement — a specific behavioral accommodation that manages the friction. The agreements are documented, signed off by both parties, and scheduled for review in 90 days. The workshop produces not just awareness but documented, committed behavioral change.
