Organizations we work with

Bring purpose to your next team building event

A team gathering is an opportunity to learn more about the people you work with every day. Our team-building workshops combine team bonding with practical learning, giving colleagues time to connect, explore their natural talents and appreciate what each person brings to the team.

Introduction to CliftonStrengths

Team meetings and professional development days

Make space in your agenda for a shared learning experience. Help colleagues understand different working styles and consider how they can support one another.

Team communication

Offsite retreats and planning days

Bring a fresh perspective to your next retreat. A Strengths workshop can help your team start useful conversations about how they work together and contribute to shared goals.

Aligning the team's purpose with the organization's goals

College, university and institutional teams

Bring faculty, staff or administrators together to explore their individual and collective Strengths. We have experience working with leaders and teams in higher education across Canada.

Strengthen team communication and collaboration

Everyone brings a different perspective to their work. CliftonStrengths provides a shared language for exploring team dynamics: how people approach tasks, communicate and contribute. Understanding your own Strengths and those of your colleagues creates a starting point for personal and professional growth.

Recognize what you bring

Develop a deeper understanding of your Top 5 Strengths and how they show up in your work, relationships and everyday decisions.

Appreciate your colleagues

As team members learn about one another’s Strengths, they can better appreciate different working styles. Explore why colleagues may approach the same task differently and what helps each person do their best work.

Develop your communication skills

Use shared insights to discuss clear communication, cooperation and how you can support one another. Consider how different talents contribute to problem-solving and creative thinking when your team faces a shared challenge.

The focus is on practical conversations that support team performance. Participants leave with ideas to bring into their work and an appreciation of how their contribution matters to the team’s success.

Ask About Your Workshop Date

What happens before and during your workshop?

1. Tell us about your team

We begin with a conversation about your team, your upcoming event and what you would like participants to gain. Together, we discuss the workshop focus, timing and arrangements.

2. Discover your Top 5 Strengths

Participants complete the online Gallup CliftonStrengths assessment before the workshop. We arrange the assessment process and prepare materials for your team.

3. Learn and connect together

During your 2–3 hour workshop, participants explore their Strengths through interactive team building exercises, guided reflection and team discussion. We encourage participants to share perspectives and consider how they can support one another.

Reflection helps connect the learning to everyday work. We guide participants to consider what they have discovered about themselves and their colleagues, and how they can apply those insights after the workshop.

Frequently Asked Questions About Workshops

How long is the workshop?

The workshop featured here is a 2–3 hour session. We discuss your agenda and goals beforehand so we can agree on a suitable format and timing.

Who are the workshops suitable for?

Our workshops are suitable for company teams, departments, leadership groups, and faculty or staff teams at colleges, universities and other institutions. They can form part of a team meeting, retreat or professional development day.

What type of team building activities are included?

Our workshops use interactive activities, guided reflection and team discussion based on participants’ CliftonStrengths results. The team building exercises help people explore their own talents, appreciate different perspectives and connect what they learn to working together.

Do participants need to complete the CliftonStrengths assessment?

Yes. Participants complete the online Gallup CliftonStrengths assessment before the workshop to identify their Top 5 Strengths. We discuss the assessment arrangements with you during planning. If team members have already completed an assessment, let us know when you enquire.

Can you facilitate the workshop at our venue?

Yes. We often facilitate workshops at our clients’ workplaces and retreat venues. Tell us your location and preferred date so we can discuss arrangements. Online workshops are also available.

Can the workshop be tailored to our team?

Yes. We meet with you before the workshop to understand your team and goals. This helps us prepare relevant materials and focus the session on what matters to your group.

Can the workshop help new team members get to know their colleagues?

A shared conversation about Strengths gives new team members a way to learn about their colleagues’ working styles and share what they bring to the group. Let us know if you are welcoming new people so we can discuss your team’s needs during planning.

Can remote teams take part?

Yes. Online workshops are available for remote teams. Participants complete the CliftonStrengths assessment beforehand, then come together for a facilitated session to explore their results and discuss team collaboration. Tell us where your team members are based so we can discuss timing and arrangements.

How can a workshop support employee engagement?

Recognizing individual contributions and appreciating colleagues’ talents can support conversations about employee engagement and company culture. A workshop provides a starting point for those conversations and practical ideas to keep using together.

For organizations looking to build on that learning over time, our High Performing Team Program offers further workshops and ongoing support over 3–12 months.

How do we arrange a workshop and check availability?
