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.
