This week we released a new pack of 10 workshops for one of the hardest challenges you face: repairing a struggling team.
These workshops give you a practical route to diagnose dysfunction, reset trust and safety, fix broken conflict patterns, and restore clarity around roles, decisions, and accountability.
How the pack works
Each workshop can be run standalone when you know the specific issue. But the real power comes from following the diagnostic path.
Start here: Team Temperature Check
A low-risk diagnostic that surfaces what is helping, what is hurting, and what feels too risky to say out loud. It creates safety while revealing the real problems beneath the symptoms.
From there, you have two options
Option 1: Follow the Next Step Decision Tree
The Temperature Check includes a decision tree that recommends which workshop to run next based on what you uncovered. This is the fastest route to the right intervention.
Option 2: Go deeper with Patterns and Friction Mapping
The Patterns and Friction Mapping workshop takes the insights from the Temperature Check and converts them into concrete, repeating patterns. You identify triggers, trace behaviours, and separate symptoms from root causes. It gives you the full picture before deciding where to intervene.

Why this pack is different
Most team development work fails not because the workshop was poor, but because nothing happens afterwards. This pack is designed differently:
✅ Behaviour-focused, not theory-heavy - Every workshop produces concrete actions, not abstract insights
✅ Practical handouts included - RACI templates, conflict language guides, decision frameworks, all ready to use
✅ Built-in follow-through - The 30-Day Recovery Plan converts workshop commitments into daily practice with clear indicators and review rhythms
✅ Safe for struggling teams - Carefully designed to avoid therapy territory while still addressing real dysfunction
✅ Novice facilitator friendly - Detailed "Secret Sauce" sections help you avoid uncomfortable situations and handle resistance
When to use this pack
Use these workshops when:
- You have inherited a struggling team and need a recovery path
- Trust is low and tension is high
- Decisions take forever or get constantly re-opened
- Conflict either explodes or gets avoided entirely
- Nobody is clear on who owns what
- Work falls through gaps or gets duplicated
- The team has insights but struggles with follow-through
What you get
Each workshop includes:
- Complete facilitation guide with 5-6 major steps
- Detailed timing and activity instructions
- Debrief questions for every step
- Secret Sauce facilitator notes to handle tricky moments
- All handouts and templates ready to print
Start with the Team Temperature Check
If you are not sure where to begin, run the Team Temperature Check. It is fast, safe, and will tell you and the team exactly what they need next.
