What if your team wrote its own collaboration playbook?

You know you want to see more collaboration in your organization. But you also know this:

All the time, money, and effort invested to date hasn’t delivered: collaboration is still falling short of its promise and potential.

Bringing in a collaboration expert for a full engagement isn’t always feasible. (I get it--it’s pricey.)

Here’s a powerful, more affordable approach:

I’ve started working with organizations to design custom, leader-led workshops that your leaders facilitate. These tailored workshops center your real work, honor your real constraints, and leverage your real relationships as the raw material.

These aren’t off-the-shelf trainings.

They are tailored facilitation guides that your leaders can use to to walk a team, step by step, through the work of improving how they collaborate.

In the workshop, teams don’t just talk about collaboration.

They co-author their own Collaboration Playbook.

They actively work through a structured progression:

• Get clear on why collaboration matters in their specific context

• Define what “good” looks like in observable, day-to-day behaviors

• Surface the real friction points that get in the way

• Build shared understanding of how each person works best

• Translate all of that into clear, team-owned collaboration commitments

• Then put a simple system in place to sustain progress over time

The key is this:

The playbook isn’t handed to them. They build it themselves.

My workshop, tailored to your context, is the vehicle. The co-authored Collaboration Playbook is the output.

Because the team creates the playbook—grounded in their actual work—it’s far more likely to stick, evolve, and be used.

Which option do you think would work best in your workplace?

Custom Workshop. I design a tailored, leader-ready facilitation guide for a workshop your teams can run internally.

Custom Workshop + Leader Support. In addition to the custom workshop, I prepare your leaders to facilitate it effectively and confidently.

Facilitated Experience. If it would be helpful to have a neutral outsider lead the conversation, I can facilitate the session myself.
