I've watched teams struggle with the new normal of hybrid work, scattered attention, and eroding trust. Let me guide your team from fragmentation to flowing collaboration with a proven approach that respects your unique culture and challenges.

Where your team might be stuck
The Disconnection
I often meet teams where people work together but don't really connect. Some members feel sidelined in meetings, while others struggle to share concerns. This isn't just uncomfortable – it's costing you innovation, engagement, and retention.
The Daily Cost
Every conversation avoided is a problem that grows. Every unclear expectation creates rework. Every disengaged team member contemplates leaving. I've seen how these small daily costs compound into major organizational pain points.
The Way Forward
After working with hundreds of teams across Canada, I've developed an approach that combines time-tested frameworks with practical tools for today's workplace realities. My approach creates genuine human connection while building the systems that help teams thrive.
Team Accelerator Approach
Through my work with leadership teams across sectors, I've developed a methodology that addresses both the human elements of teamwork and the practical systems teams need to thrive – whether working in the same room or across time zones.
Building Psychological Safety
Trust Foundations: I'll guide your team through carefully designed experiences that build genuine connection. This isn't about trust falls – it's about creating the conditions where people feel truly safe to contribute.
Connection Rituals: We'll create team practices that maintain human connection regardless of work arrangements. These become the heartbeat of your team culture.
Understanding Each Other
Personality Insights: Using the Enneagram framework, we'll explore how each team member is wired – their motivations, stress responses, and communication preferences. This creates profound "aha moments" that transform team dynamics.
Practical Empathy: Through guided exercises, team members learn to recognize and respond to each other's needs, creating smoother interactions and fewer misunderstandings.
Creating Team Agreements
Shared Expectations: We'll work together to create clear agreements about how your team operates – from decision-making approaches to meeting protocols. These shared norms become your team's operating system.
Healthy Conflict: I'll help your team develop specific language and protocols for addressing disagreements directly and respectfully, turning potential conflicts into opportunities for growth.
Clarifying Roles & Responsibilities
Role Clarity: Through collaborative exercises, we'll create clarity around each person's unique contributions and responsibilities, eliminating the friction caused by unclear expectations.
Coordination Systems: I'll help you establish frameworks for how work flows between team members, reducing the frustration of handoff problems and duplicate efforts.
Mastering Team Communication
Communication Agreements: We'll establish clear protocols for how, when, and where different types of communication happen – creating relief from communication overload while ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
Difficult Conversations: Through guided practice in a safe environment, team members will build confidence in addressing challenging topics directly and constructively.
Creating Sustainable Change
Team Rhythms: Together, we'll design the cadence of meetings, check-ins, and celebrations that will sustain your team's connection and performance long after our work together.
Ongoing Learning: I'll help you create simple feedback loops that allow your team to continue evolving its practices as circumstances change.
My approach to team development draws on more than 20 years of cross-sector experience, blending the best of psychology, leadership development, and practical organizational design.
