Group Development

We work with sport and recreation companies to maximize their strengths which leads to improved organizational function and diversified funding opportunities.

“It all begins with people!”

In our work, the emphasis is placed on helping people make movement toward individual and collective goals.  Each engagement is unique to the organization and its people. 

Nonprofit Management– Building organizational capacity to achieve sustainability, we work with all levels of the organization to address infrastructure needs.  The areas of concentration include: Governance, Strategic Planning, Executive/Leadership Transition Planning, Fund Development, Strategic Alliances, and Volunteer Engagement.

Problem Identification - Root Cause Analysis allows for structuring accurate solutions for the problem and not the symptoms.  Activities that are designed promote the development of thinking for long-term solutions and not quick fixes. 

Traversing Difficult Conversations – Developing the comfort for having difficult conversations and risk-taking allows for the heavy lifting of relationship and trust building.  It will also assist with addressing negativity and dysfunction.  Our approach to this work provides a safe and confidential space to take the appropriate risks to delve into what is making these conversations difficult. The work will include Conflict Management and Resolution.

Unconscious and Confirmation Bias- Confirmation bias refers to the tendency to selectively search for and consider information that confirms one's beliefs.  The limitations created by this type of thinking affects innovation, problem identification and the subsequent solutions, human resources, and financial outcomes.  Time spent with this topic will exponentially expand an individual’s and therefore, an organization’s options. 

Brain Function – Understanding the Command Center – Stress, motivation, self-sabotage (derailment), and flight or fight are just a few of the topics that can be addressed with your organization.   Neuroscience has discovered that even the most entrenched behaviors can be modified.

Cultural Competency– Traditional Competency work looks at race, ethnicity, gender, etc.  We do that, too.  But we also look at organizational culture and the cultures that develop based on cognitive preferences, socio-economics and more.  It is not only about getting along; it is about broadening the lens through which we see and do our work as individuals and organizations.

 Organizational Development – Efficient and effective structures and practices are built through activities that fall under many different headings: Group Development, Individual and Organizational Assessments, Coaching, Leadership Development, Talent Management, and Change Management.  The work is designed to create the environment for positive growth.
