Knights Consulting

What is it?

A customized, interactive experience fueled by behavioral assessments, best practice frameworks, and experiential exercises to help your team members gain self-awareness, decrease conflict, understand the work styles of their peers, and develop an action plan for strengthening collaboration on the team.

Why is it Important?

It’s been estimated that up to 92% of workplace conflicts are the result of misunderstandings and communication breakdowns. And this is to be expected when you have lots of different people, from different backgrounds, with different personalities all working in the same place. These conflicts contribute to lower productivity, team morale, and motivation on the team.

What's Included? (all options are fully customizable)

Pre-event planning meeting to learn more about your team goals and align the session activities with your desired outcomes
Pre-event discovery interviews and surveys to gain information from your team to customize the session activities.
Customized agendas, interactive exercises, handouts, and presentation visuals (if applicable). Finalized agenda will be provided to the client prior to the event.
Behavioral assessment + personalized debrief report for each team member (DISC or Core Values Index)
Series of interactive sessions that include in-depth debrief of team assessment scores, development of team collaboration action plan, and interactive exercises to enhance communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution skills based on the team’s specific scores. (Format and schedule is customized with the client.)
Follow-up session, approximately 6-8 weeks after the initial series ends, to capture insights and key learnings, and troubleshoot problems after implementing the team's collaboration action plan
Two 60-minute coaching sessions for the manager/leadership team
Recommendations report to provide insights to maintain the momentum gained from the program.

“When I reached out to Knights Consulting, my Chapter’s Executive Board was newly formed and transitioning during the COVID-19 environment. I was feeling nxious, so I decided to bring all the Chapter leaders together to gain a common understanding of how we were going move the Chapter forward. We needed help with seeing ourselves and pinpointing our creativity to do things differently in this new environment. Laura helped us to see ourselves, prioritize efforts, and frame the problem to get to the desired end state. After working with Laura, I felt relieved to have a framework to move our Chapter forward. Thanks to the assistance we received from the Knights Consulting firm, I feel motivated and re-energized and I have a renewed sense of direction. The training was excellent!"

Taking your team out of the office for a day or two is an engaging way to build culture, boost morale, and focus on key areas to strengthen your team.

There is no one-size fits all agenda. Starting with the end in mind, we work hand-in-hand with your organization to design and facilitate a custom retreat tailored to your unique goals.

Retreat activities include hands-on exercises, reflection, coaching, and team facilitation. Offsite programs take place at a retreat location of your choice.

Here are sample focus areas for team offsite retreats:

Stabilizing a team: Addressing team dysfunction, aligning team members, and improving how they work together
Reflection and planning: Pausing to reflect on the current status, adjust tactics, strategize, and make decisions for the future
Personal development: Facilitating activities that allow employees to share experiences and best practices, and have focused time for professional goal setting
Celebration: Fun team building format to bring the team together, celebrate organizational success, and build connection on the team
