Who This is For

For leadership teams ready to move from intention to ownership.

TeamFORWARD supports senior teams that want to improve how they communicate, make decisions, navigate conflict, and hold one another accountable to shared outcomes.

Strengthen alignment

Clarify what success looks like across results, relationships, and culture.

Build trust

Create a psychologically safe environment where honest conversations can happen.

Increase accountability

Establish commitments, ground rules, and follow-through that improve performance.

Improve collaboration

Reduce silos, surface missing conversations, and strengthen cross-functional relationships.

The Approach

Action learning, not traditional training.

TeamFORWARD is built around real issues, real conversations, and real commitments. Rather than treating team development as a one-time workshop, Emergent uses a mix of facilitated group sessions and one-on-one coaching to create substantive shifts in belief, behavior, performance, and relationships.

Raise the right issues

Surface the conversations that matter most to team and organizational performance.

Work through them together

Practice trust building, feedback, and conflict management around real business needs.

Commit to what changes

Create 30- and 90-day commitments that keep progress visible and actionable.

The Process

A complete six-month development experience.

TeamFORWARD combines team facilitation, leadership coaching, assessments, and monthly accountability sessions to help senior leaders translate insight into action.

Kick-off Meeting

The TeamFORWARD process and optional one-on-one leadership coaching experience are introduced so participants understand the purpose, structure, and expectations.

Start Line Meeting

Emergent partners with the client to clarify where the team is today, where it wants to go, and what success looks like.

Transformation Sessions

Half-day facilitated sessions focus on trust, feedback, conflict management, goals, operating agreements, and commitments.

Accountability Sessions

Six monthly remote sessions keep the team focused on business results, issues, and commitments made during the process.

Insight that helps the team move with intention.

One team assessment and one individual assessment help identify strengths, gaps, and development opportunities so the work is grounded in useful insight.

Transformation happens when leaders say what needs to be said and follow through together.

Transformation Sessions

Where the work becomes real.

Trust through vulnerability

The team invests time building and strengthening trust, addressing missing conversations, and giving feedback.

Strengths applied to performance

Leaders review their strengths and how those strengths can contribute to both the senior team and the functional areas they lead.

Ground rules and commitments

Operating agreements are discussed, agreed upon, revisited, and connected to between-session accountability.

No meeting after the meeting
