We’re nearly halfway through September—which means we’re running toward the last quarter of the year. And Q4 can fly by faster than most when filled with end of year projects, deadlines and holiday time off. So instead of just surviving the end of the year, why don’t you intentionally plan for it? We often kick off each calendar year with vision, purpose and new resolutions—but why not finish the year with just as much excitement?

If you’re looking for a way to align your team around a shared purpose for the end of the year, then one of our team workshops is a great solution for you. Plus, by pulling up and away from the daily demands of work, you’ll communicate to your team that you care about investing in them. In this article, we’ll cover the four key components of our team workshops so that you can see how we help teams like yours rally together to finish the year strong.

4 Key Components to Our Team Workshops

1. Connect. In this fast-paced digital world, true connection is easily lost. And if your team works in a remote or hybrid environment, then connection is even harder to facilitate. That’s why we build in time for connection in our workshops. It’s so important for your team to get to know each other and better understand one another’s communication styles. This time will better equip each person to communicate effectively and efficiently going forward. And before diving headfirst into the workshop topic, we help your team understand why the content matters—how it’ll impact them both individually and collectively so that they can work better together.

2. Experience. During our workshops, your team won’t just sit and listen to the speaker; they’ll be participating in an experience. There will be presentation time, but there will also be time for collaboration, small groups and deeper connection. We utilize proven tools and resources to spark discovery, new learnings and deeper understanding so that your team can interact with one another and grow together.

3. Apply. Participants leave our workshops with practical and applicable concepts and resources to apply to their everyday lives and leadership. We will equip your team with common language and tools to better communicate with one another and work together toward a shared vision. And depending on the topic you pick, the learnings from the workshop could very well extend past the sole application of your team and into the communities and homes of your teammates—because at Building Champions, we know that how we show up at work impacts how we show up at home. And that impact (and influence) is an immense privilege that we all get to own.

4. Extend. We design follow-up activities and connection points for your team to participate in even after our workshop is over. It’s so important to apply, practice and incorporate learnings from events like ours so that your investment is maximized, and your team remains engaged. When a team truly adopts what they learn, believes it matters and extends it into their thinking and everyday activities, that’s when you see transformation.

We love coming alongside teams like yours to help them finish the year strong so that they’re ready to dive into the new year as a healthy, aligned and dynamic group that gets stuff done and enjoys doing it together. And if you’re building your budget for next year, consider when a team workshop might work best for the schedules and needs of your team. Our coaches are skilled facilitators and presenters and we’re happy to partner with you on the topic that you think would best help your team learn, connect and grow. We’re here to help!
