Half-Day Leadership Reset
start 2026 aligned on what matters most
A 4-hour virtual workshop to help small teams work together with more clarity, trust, and momentum.
Your first thought might be: "We're too busy for this."
That's exactly the point.
If your team is constantly firefighting, having the same unproductive conversations, or feeling stuck in patterns that drain everyone's energy — you're not too busy. You're stuck.
And the thing keeping you stuck is the exact pattern you're too busy to interrupt.
This half-day virtual workshop gives your team a focused reset — designed to help you understand what's blocking collaboration, navigate tension more skillfully, and build shared language for the challenges ahead.
No big lift. No heavy customization. Just a meaningful, high-impact experience led by an expert KONU facilitator.
Half a day now prevents weeks of unproductive spinning later.
Why This Workshop Matters
Most teams crash into January the same way they crashed into Q4:
Exhausted. Misaligned. Right back into the same patterns.
Even strong teams get pulled into dynamics that drain energy and slow progress:
Firefighting instead of focusing on what actually matters
Urgent tasks crowding out the deeper conversations that actually move things forward
Collaboration happening in bursts or among the like-minded — but not as consistently as the work requires
This workshop helps your team step back just enough to see:
What kind of collaboration is needed for the goals at hand
What gets in the way of that collaboration - and why it feels so hard
How to handle resistance or tension more skillfully
How to create conditions where people can do their best problem-solving together
All through a clear, accessible, interactive process, grounded in your team’s real work.
What Your Team Will Learn
By the end of the session, your team will walk away with:
A shared, simple way to understand tough challenges: Learn to distinguish between problems you can "fix" and situations that require learning or new approaches — so you stop working so hard to solve the wrong problem.
A clearer view of what makes collaboration hard — and how to unblock it: We explore both the upsides and the costs of collaboration that create resistance in otherwise well-intentioned people. You'll leave understanding what actually gets in the way.
Tools for navigating resistance with more empathy and strategy: Your team learns to recognize what others might fear losing — and how to move conversations forward without defensiveness.
A simple but profound practice for spotting when your team is getting overwhelmed or shutting down: Through a heat-mapping activity, your team learns how pressure and expectations shape behavior — and how to regulate that together.
Practical ways to strengthen the conditions for healthy collaboration: Simple, actionable steps to improve structure, shared purpose, and relationships — the foundation for smoother work together.
Concrete next steps: Everyone leaves with one or two actionable shifts they can make right away.
What the Workshop Includes
A complete, interactive 4-hour virtual experience:

✔ A guided perspective-taking exercise | A powerful way for people to understand each other’s pressures and realities.
✔ A team “reset moment” | A closing reflection and set of commitments to support healthier collaboration this year.
✔ Led by an expert facilitator | Designed intentionally to be lightweight, affordable, and easy to schedule.
What Participants Say
“It was a beautiful reminder that we’re all humans. So much easier to collaborate now!”
“I never knew how to organize learning in my team before. I just did what needed to be done and forgot I might overwhelm people. Now I know how to move in a way that produces insight and gets things done faster”
“When people lash out under stress, they’re not reacting to me. they’re reacting to the situation”
“I’ve been stressed about dealing with this person for months. now I can finally put myself in their shoes before reacting — and regretting it later”
“The heat mapping chart is such a great tool. I’m already using it weekly”
“I can do the empathy work so much better now. It’s had a huge effect on our team’s capacity to problem-solve and stay aligned with our mission”
Who This Is Designed For
Small teams (6–18 people) who want:
A fresh, grounded start to the year
A way to stop repeating the same exhausting patterns
Help navigating tension, friction, or overwhelm
A shared language to make work smoother
A meaningful experience that doesn’t require a major investment
This is ideal for teams in:
Nonprofits, creative organizations, foundations, education, mission-driven companies, and cross-functional groups navigating change.
You've probably done team workshops that didn't stick.
This one's different because you work on your actual challenges — not case studies or hypotheticals. It's grounded entirely in your team's real work, and you leave with tools you can use immediately.
