Lag time between report generation and coaching?

I'm working with a few teams right now, setting up "packages" formatted like this:

1. Individuals take FEBI and I send them their reports.

2. Team comes together for an introductory workshop (experiential, designed to let them "feel" the energies and to play and think about them with right-brain activities.

3. I coach individuals one-on-one.

4. Team comes together for a facilitated group meeting where we will work with the team's overall energy patterns to create an action plan for how to work better together as a team.

Do you experienced coaches have a gut feeling for the optimum timing of the four steps?  What's too long between steps, what's too short?  Any advice would be fabulous!

And if you have any other suggestions not related to timing, I'm all ears to anything you want to offer by way of guidance.

Thanks!

Your steps look great. I've done the equivalent of steps 2 and 4 all in the same day, with my individual coaching done ahead of time. But if you can get the team to commit to 2 meetings, maybe a week apart, I think your steps are ideal. Another approach with teams, if you only have 1 day, is to do your step 2, then have them partner up and peer coach one another on their individual reports, then go into the team implications in step 4.
