Increase compassion and reduce judgement in 12 hours*
How well your internal team functions impacts everything from your employee retention and customer satisfaction to your sales and revenue.
But you already knew that.
You might not know, however, what to do when interpersonal friction threatens to derail your team’s success.
That’s why teams call The Strengths Encourager.
* 12 hours is the total workshop hours per participant and can be spread out over 12 weeks if broken down into hourly sessions
When we use our strengths daily, we are more resilient, productive, energized, hopeful, and impactful.
When you book a Team Wellbeing Package, your leadership comes away with a greater awareness of what motivates and demotivates each team member. This knowledge has the power to significantly improve how you interact with, appreciate, and collaborate with each other.
And it gives employees what they need to feel fulfilled in their roles.

Increase team compassion and reduce interpersonal judgement.
We all have needs that often go unmet. Add a pandemic to the mix and it can sometimes feel as if we’re trying to function with both hands tied behind our backs. This can lead to a lot of judgement and friction within teams.
These Team Wellbeing Packages give you language to talk about how everyone is feeling in such a way that reduces judgement and increases compassion, all while maintaining individual dignity and privacy. The result increases job satisfaction and reduces burnout.
I think I understood the concept of Clifton Strengths before the workshop, but Wendy opened up my eyes to many new possibilities for putting that knowledge to work. I feel much better armed and prepared to not only make my job easier, but to provide meaningful support to my teammates.

Team Sessions (Virtual, 2020)Knowing yourself is the key to unlocking so much in your own life but we're so quick to judge and compare who we are against other people.

Noah
Team Sessions (In-person, May 2021)Wendy really helped see where I might be exercising my strengths but either not knowing it or not thinking I was having as positive effect as I may be having. She also helped me hone in some activities to begin doing more of with my work teams.
