Person Wondering Vectors by Vecteezy
Do you ever wonder:
- What has people taking or not taking responsibility for producing excellent results?
- Why the team is going in circles as they repeatedly deal with the same problems?
- Why the team is letting problems exist rather than spending the time to resolve them?
- Why employee turnover so high?

Program Promises
Send me your team and I’ll send you back a team that:
- Takes responsibility for improving their work and team.
- Actively addresses issues rather than letting them fester.
- Understand each other and have developed the relationships needed to strengthen their bond.
- Will start having more fun together.
The Approach to Team Development
When you’re sick, a doctor diagnoses what’s happening and THEN selects the best treatment to help you heal. In some cases, follow-up is provided to ensure you continue to improve.
It’s similar to the experience in the Resilient Teaming program, except we will work together to understand what is happening.
Only then will I start building a program with your team and for your team. Through this, their program will address what they need most.

The three phases to a Deep Dive Program:
Preparation
A short period of getting to know each other, understanding the team dynamic, and starting to equip the team with the tools needed to overcome challenges.

Deep Dive Retreat
We will then go offsite for a Deep Dive retreat, in which the team will step into a brave space with each other. In this space, free from the expectations and distractions of their daily lives, a deep dive will happen.

Reinforce and Support
Upon returning home, we will continue to work together virtually for a short period to reinforce and support the work the team started.

Through this experience, they will be on a teaming journey that never ends.

The number one objection
The number one objection I hear is, “My team is overwhelmed, and I just don’t know if we can make the time for this program.”
The question is, “Can you afford to NOT make such an investment in your team?”
Here’s what I know: If your team is overwhelmed, then they’re coping. If they’re coping, then they’re not doing their best work. Their best requires them to feel resilient more than they do now.
People who spend too much time coping are the ones who burn out, develop apathy related to their work, or leave.
So, can you afford not to take the time for this program?
Well-formed teams we’ve worked with have realized benefits such as:
- A belief that they share the ownership for what happens in and around their team
- Increased creativity and less churn when confronting problems
- Clarity of how to keep their motivations in support of their team
- Increased morale and a stronger connection in the team
- Owning the responsibility for continuing to improve themselves
- Productivity gains resulting from how they’re working together
- They have more fun, together

Warnings to management:
As a result of your team participating in Deep Dive Teaming, you may:
- Start feeling lonely as the team handles more problems independently.
- Feel anxious as they start challenging your ideas with their own.
- Experience greater empathy for your team as you truly understand who they are and what motivates them.
- Start to have extra time on your hands as your team doesn’t need your involvement as much as they once did.
- Feel proud of the team they’ve become and everything they’re accomplishing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
FAQs
Is this work done virtually or in person?
The work before and after the retreat can easily be done virtually. The retreat has the best impact in person, away from the participants’ daily work environment. I understand, though, that sometimes in-person isn’t feasible, and it can be done virtually with some adjustments.
Could we have more than one team go through the program at the same time?
It depends. Let’s discuss your needs and explore approaches to achieving your vision while maximizing the value for your teams.
Is there a guarantee that this program will succeed?
The butterfly effect states that when a butterfly flaps its wings in North America, a typhoon occurs on the other side of the world.
This is saying that we can not know the full impact when we work together, such as through deep Dive Teaming.
However, we need to do deeper work to change the path your team is on. Through this, you will start to seed a transformation with no destination. So, why constrain their growth with a made-up metric that fails to define the true potential of your team?
Wait, are you saying we won't measure the team's progress?
Yes, we will. I’ll also leave you with the tools to continue doing so. However, they won’t include metrics such as productivity, work quality, or timely delivery. You might still use such metrics, but they cannot indicate the real indications of their progress as a team.
One team I worked with measured teamwork by the amount of collaboration happening (i.e. the amount of talking in the space.) Another used a happiness check-in. Yet, another measured teamwork based on the drop in escalations because the team was working on problems together.
Is management involved with the program?
There are some smaller parts of the program you won’t be invited to attend as the team needs to do their work without outside influences. However, you will be a big part of reinforcing the changes that start to happen when we’re working together. So, yes, count on participating, otherwise, the team will struggle as you, and they develop a misalignment.
