Showing Up Whole: A Team + Individual Development Offsite
High-performing teams don’t just require alignment, trust, and clarity.
They require people who have the capacity to show up.
In today’s workplace, many teams struggle not because they don’t care—but because they’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or holding back. When individuals aren’t tending to their own energy or practicing self-expression, it becomes nearly impossible to engage in healthy conflict, speak candidly, or take interpersonal risks.
This offsite is built on a simple but often overlooked truth:
To show up as your best for your team, you have to work on yourself, too.
WHAT THIS OFFSITE DOES
This one- or two-day experience blends team development with individual development, helping participants:
Rebuild personal capacity and energy
Strengthen assertiveness and self-expression
Practice healthy conflict in real time
Understand how self-care directly impacts team effectiveness
Rather than treating personal development and team performance as separate conversations, we work on them together—because that’s how they show up in real life.
KEY FOCUS AREAS
EnERgy & self-care
Participants explore how stress, burnout, and over-functioning quietly undermine collaboration.
Identifying personal energy drains and renewal practices
Understanding the link between capacity and candor
Moving self-care out of the “nice-to-have” category and into team effectiveness
2. SELF EXPRESSION & ASSERTIVENESS
Teams cannot have healthy conflict if individuals don’t feel able—or safe—to speak.
Clarifying personal communication patterns (passive, aggressive, avoidant, assertive)
Practicing direct, respectful self-expression
Building confidence to name concerns early, before frustration builds
3. HEALTHY CONFLICT AS A TEAM SKILL
With greater energy and clearer self-expression, teams can finally do the work they’ve been avoiding.
Practicing productive disagreement in the room
Replacing silence or artificial harmony with honest dialogue
Creating shared norms for feedback, challenge, and repair
Outcomes Teams Can Expect
By the end of the offsite, teams leave with:
Greater awareness of how individual capacity affects team dynamics
Clearer, more confident communication across the group
Increased willingness to engage in healthy conflict
Shared language around energy, boundaries, and accountability
Concrete commitments at both the individual and team level
