Team Sessions
Working well together
Seeing how we work together and what becomes possible from here.
Who is this for
Working well together is built for teams who recognize themselves in some version of the following:
The team is capable, and the work is harder than it should be.
Trust has weakened, and people are protecting themselves more than contributing.
Hard conversations are getting avoided, deferred, or rerouted.
The same patterns keep returning, even after they have been talked about.
A new leader, a new structure, or a stretch of pressure has changed how people show up to one another.
The leader is carrying more of the relational load than is sustainable.
What teams walk away with
What’s included
A clear read on the team’s collective pattern — how individual styles meet, where they reinforce each other, and where the relational leverage lives.
Specific language for what has been happening between people, and a shared way of talking about it.
A grounded picture of the relational risks the team is currently carrying — and what becomes possible when each one is addressed.
Two concrete practices to work on between the session and the follow-up.
Up to fifteen Relational IQ Assessment seats.
A thirty-minute sponsor briefing call before the session.
A two-hour facilitated session, virtual or in person.
A post-session recommendations document delivered within five business days.
A thirty-minute follow-up call within thirty days.
About the Relational IQ Assessment
The Relational IQ Assessment is at the centre of every Team Session. Each member of the team completes it individually; the team gets back a collective reading of how its members relate to one another, mapped across seven archetypes.
It is the tool that lets the conversation in the room be specific rather than general — grounded in what the team is actually doing well, what is creating the relational risk, and where the leverage sits for working together better.
If something on this page sounds like the team you are leading and/or working with, the next step is a conversation. We will talk through what you are seeing in your team, what Working well together would look like in your context, and whether it is the right fit.
Other ways to work with Maria
Working well together is the entry point. For organizations ready for deeper or different work, three further engagements are available.
Half-day workshop. A 3.5–4 hour facilitated session for teams who have completed Working well together and are ready to act on a specific area of their relational pattern — turning insight into shared practice in the room. Available by conversation.
Full-day workshop. A 6–7 hour facilitated session for teams looking to establish a shared way of working together — useful for new teams, newly merged teams, or teams whose context has changed enough that the previous way of working no longer fits. Available by conversation.
High RQ Teams. A six-month team program for organizations committed to building relational capability as part of the organization’s infrastructure.
