Half-Day Leadership Reset: Strengthening Collaboration for the Year Ahead 

A 4-hour virtual workshop to help small teams work together with more clarity, trust, and momentum. 

The new year opens a rare window to strengthen your team’s alignment and collaborative practice. Before unrealistic to-do lists and conflicting priorities pull people in different directions, you can help your team get clear on the deeper issues beneath the surface — the ones that need learning, alignment, and shared ownership — and how you’ll stay connected and focused as the heat gets high. 

This half-day virtual workshop gives your team a simple, practical, high-impact reset — designed to help people understand each other better, navigate differences, and collaborate more effectively on the challenges ahead. 

No big lift. No heavy customization. Just a focused, meaningful experience led by an expert KONU facilitator. 

Why This Workshop Matters 

Even strong teams often get pulled into patterns that drain energy and slow progress: 

  • People end up firefighting instead of working on the most strategic issues 

  • Urgent tasks crowd out the deeper conversations that actually move things forward 

  • Collaboration happens in bursts or among the like-minded — but not as consistently as the work requires 

This workshop helps your team slow down just enough to see: 

  • What kind of collaboration is needed for the goals at hand 

  • What gets in the way of that collaboration 

  • Why certain dynamics feel “stuck” 

  • 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. 

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 

Practice bucketing the problems your team can “fix” and the situations that require learning or new approaches — helping the team stop working so hard to solve the wrong problem and start diagnosing what really needs to change. 

A deeper understanding of what makes collaboration hard — and how to unblock it 

We explore both the upsides and the less-talked-about costs of collaboration that create resistance in otherwise well-intentioned people. 

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 clearer view of where the team gets overwhelmed or shuts down 

Through a heat-mapping activity, your team learns how pressure and expectations shape behavior — in themselves and others. 

Practical ways to strengthen the conditions for healthy collaboration 

Simple 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.
