"Focus helped us meld a group of highly-talented, independent managers into a high-performing management team. The results were nothing short of phenomenal. With Focus, we learned not only the power of the team, but also the growth it affords each team member."

–R. S. Barna
former publisher CMP Media, Popular Science

A great team ice breaker...

Pattern Poker is an interactive card-sort game based on the energy patterns. It shows what strengths dominate on a team, and where strengths might turn to weaknesses. You can play an individual round of pattern poker by clicking below.

We know that trust is the foundation of strong teams, and we accelerate its development by helping teammates know themselves, know one another, and understand the team's dynamics through the energy patterns. Our workshops jumpstart and restart teams, that they can reach their full potential.

Teams that Transform

Teams that trust,
that are able to close the gaps
of distance, time, culture, and personality,
only then are ready to do great work.

Our sessions help teams
know themselves, engage fully,
and get transformative results.

We Start by Listening

Our process for designing a custom team session begins with understanding the team's purpose, make-up, and where it is in its life cycle. We generally pre-interview team members around key issues facing the team, and roll up themes to focus on in the session.

We Design 1-3 Day Sessions to Help Teams...

Foster a climate of trust, effectiveness, and full engagement, whether they're virtual or face-to-face
Understand and work with their energy patterns, in indivdual personalities and collective climate
Get off to a great start in defining purpose, shared goals, and clear roles and responsibilities
Avoid the common traps of cross-cultural and distance communication that lead to misunderstanding
Skillfully manage paradoxes and conflict, optimizing competing perspectives
Develop ways to build and test consensus, maintain engagement, and deepen dialogue

A Program Especially for Virtual Teams

We combine energy pattern insights, virtual training technology, and a deep understanding of team dynamics and climate to help your virtual team work at its best - starting now.

We offer a special package to support your virtual team with either a strong launch or a timely tune-up that can save many a wasted meeting hour. Our package includes:

2-part Virtual Team webinar (2 hours each) - tailored toward launch or tune-up
FEBI with individual coaching to accelerate mutual understanding, implications for roles, and collective strengths / weaknesses of the team.
FCI (Focus Climate Indicator) to help the team create a climate of full engagement aligned with its purpose.

What Makes Our Team Sessions Different

Our unique approach utilizes the energy patterns as a common language, diagnostic, and framework for progress. Our FEBI assessment for team members and our Focus Climate Indicator (FCI) for the overall team, enable the right balance and focus of the team's energy. Through our expert facilitation and coaching, adapted to either the virtual or face-to-face environment, we help teams flip from tolerating differences to leveraging them, from coping with conflict to transforming it, from getting by to getting great results.
