How We Work with Teams
Our process emphasizes deep engagement and comprehensive assessment to create lasting positive change for your team.
Discover: Initial Assessment & Workshop
We begin with the AcuMax Index assessment for all team members, followed by an interactive workshop to understand and apply the insights.
About The AcuMax Index
The AcuMax Index survey helps individuals and teams understand their behavioral patterns and communication preferences. As a hard-wiring assessment tool, it provides insight into the following areas:
- Your hard-wired communication style
- How we accept and navigate change, as well as pressure and stress
- How we accept ideas (or don’t)
- Tendencies for managing conflict
- Trust gaps and how to manage them
Team Insights Workshop
Important trends and insights emerge when we examine the group’s results together. In our interactive workshop, we’ll explore the group’s results, process their meaning, and start equipping your team with tools for continued development and growth.
Transform: Customized Workshop Series
Workshops Designed for Your Team
Based on your team’s specific needs, we design a series of targeted workshops to address your unique challenges and goals.
Our workshop offerings came out of listening to what teams actually needed. When you share your specific challenges, we can adapt existing workshops or create something new to fit your team. If we can’t provide what you need, we’ll let you know and help you find the right resources.
Frequently Requested Workshops
Leading with Clarity
Learn to create frameworks for setting clearer expectations, holding people accountable more easily, and giving/receiving feedback to help you manage everyday leadership challenges proactively and reactively. And get agreement every step of the way.
To Trust or Not To Trust…
An honest approach to trust–how to give it, how to get it, and what to do when it’s broken. You’ll gain a practical framework for developing deeper professional relationships, helping your team see each other as complete individuals with unique strengths, perspectives, and motivations.
Navigating Uncomfortable Conversations
This workshop helps you distinguish between productive disagreement and destructive conflict. You’ll develop techniques to improve interactions—whether strengthening already-positive relationships or working through challenging dynamics.
Validate: Measure & Review
Throughout our engagement, we pause to evaluate progress using multiple assessment methods.
Integrate & Sustain
We help you secure lasting change through comprehensive measurement and ongoing support, including:
Quantitative & Qualitative Measures: We conduct follow-up AcuMax assessments along with comprehensive surveys and interviews to capture the full scope of your team’s transformation.
Ongoing Consultation: Regular check-ins and progress evaluations throughout the process ensure momentum stays strong and challenges are addressed promptly.
Final Integration Workshop: We conclude with a reflective session focused on cementing the changes your team has made and developing strategies for sustained growth. This workshop helps teams internalize their new ways of working and creates accountability for maintaining positive momentum.

It was a phenomenal experience and the feedback has been extraordinarily positive from everyone I have talked to after the event. Ellen was terrific! She provided a highly engaging set of exercises for our team members and I am certain everyone walked away more aware of themselves and their teammates.
