Team facilitation and offsites that change how your leadership team works
Offsites that change how your team works — not just how they feel for a day. Facilitation and team development for leadership teams that need to actually function as a team, not just share a calendar invite.
Built for the hard moments
I've facilitated leadership teams through post-reorg chaos, flat-structure experiments, and the hard work of building trust from scratch. The best offsites don't just surface issues — they build the systems to actually resolve them.
After a reorg
New reporting lines, new peers, old habits. I help leadership teams name what's actually going on and agree on how they'll work now.
Trying a new structure
Flat structures, new operating models, and other experiments need more than a launch memo. We design the ways of working that make them real.
Building trust from scratch
Trust doesn't come from a single exercise. It comes from naming issues honestly and building systems to resolve them.
Discovery first. Then the offsite. Then the work that makes it stick.
Starting with discovery interviews across the group, I design offsites and ongoing sessions grounded in your real dynamics — not off-the-shelf agendas.
The work between offsites matters most: meeting audits, mini-sessions, side coaching, and follow-up that turns a good day into a lasting shift. A single two-day offsite can be the test, or it can expand into year-long team development.
What's included
- Confidential discovery interviews with each team member
- Written synthesis and offsite design partnership
- Weekly partner syncs throughout engagement
- In-person facilitation (travel billed separately)
- Connective tissue between sessions: meeting audits, mini-sessions, side coaching
- Hogan or Leadership Circle Profile 360 assessments for shared developmental language
Three phases
Phase 1
Discovery
30-minute conversations with each leader. Synthesis of team dynamics. Weekly syncs with you to shape what's next.
Phase 2
Facilitation
Custom-designed offsite facilitation. Trust-building, naming issues, establishing new ways of working. Days can flex between in-person and virtual.
Phase 3
Connective tissue
The between-session work that makes it stick. Meeting audits, mini-sessions, side coaching, and momentum-building check-ins.
An AI assistant that keeps the team's agreements alive
I can build a custom AI assistant from our team development work: the agreements, frameworks, and shared language that come out of discovery and the offsite. It helps each person ground those commitments in the moment, in the meetings where new ways of working actually get tested.
Trust is built on consistency. The assistant helps make the team's progress consistent and knowable, to each person, to the team, and to the organization.
Our business is unique, our culture is specific, and Ian didn't try to fit us into some off-the-shelf framework. He dug in, asked the right questions, and built something that genuinely resonated with our people — across every level.

Frequently asked questions
What happens before the offsite?
Discovery. I have confidential 30-minute conversations with each leader, write up a synthesis of the team's dynamics, and meet with you weekly to shape the offsite design.
Do you facilitate in person?
Yes. In-person facilitation is included, with travel billed separately. Days can also flex between in-person and virtual.
What happens after the offsite?
The connective tissue: meeting audits, mini-sessions, side coaching, and check-ins that turn a good day into a lasting shift.
Can we start with a single offsite?
Yes. A single two-day offsite can be the test. From there, it can expand into year-long team development if that's what the team needs.
Can the team get an AI assistant too?
Yes. I can build a custom AI assistant from the team's agreements and frameworks so people can ground them in the moment, between sessions.
Do you use team assessments?
Hogan or Leadership Circle Profile 360 assessments can be built in to give the team a shared developmental language.
