The first step in every team trip is forming the travel group, where everyone dares to show a little more of themselves. And this daring has to do with mutual trust, which is supported by an increased self-insight thanks to the Insights Discovery or MapsTell profile. The famous mirror of these profiles show everyone's strengths and areas for improvement, including tips on how to develop them. The positive 'colour language' makes it safe to share this.

During a first workshop, the team also gets physically moving on the Insights mat. With interactive exercises, everyone learns to better understand his/her wheel position, but also the mobility on the wheel. Most participants simply have two or three colors above average in their preferred position. And look at the other side; your opposite type has so much to offer you!

But this other side is quite difficult to understand/reach. The world is experienced from a completely different perspective. Thanks to a tour along core quadrants, participants notice that their own qualities on a good day can also be the pitfall on a bad day. With the bridge to positive addition of opposites and everyone's challenge, allergies are better understood.

In this we practice with the most important method for the 'storming' phase: Feedforward. Here participants learn to give better compliments and to indicate development points constructively. With the right flow (objective data > deeper feeling > dramatic interpretation > doing!) we show an easy way to give structural feedback. And we do not get stuck in the past, but look for improvement in the future. That is why we call this feedforward!

During a next workshop it is time to work on standardization. Our experience shows that a lack of a shared vision is often the reason for the lack of cooperation between colleagues. By determining team roles within your processes we introduce a smoother form of cooperation, the term "Is it workable?" and continuous smarter improvement via the role consultation. We appreciate individual differences, but introduce the shared focus.

With these team roles, it is now easier for all participants to retrieve the desired behavior, choose the right communication strategy per situation and determine priorities. This creates a natural role play (such as the famous 'good cop' and 'bad cop') with which everyone knows how and why someone does something. Personal job satisfaction increases automatically. We are now all in the same expedition with the same goal in mind!

The line between 'stretch' and 'stress' is thin. By not keeping the bow constantly tense and coaching each other, everyone's possibilities grow. In our workshops, that is exactly our style. Humor with a function, cooperation as a connection, information as a foundation and spicy stimuli as a stretch under supervision. We go a level higher than the participants had initially intended, but of course safely secured.

This is the moment where we add color to proven methodologies and models (Start with Why, Lean, Agile, Holacracy, HEI360, your own standards). With the help of G-Wave, we help teams find everyone's why, work out the necessary change in actions and visualize the end picture. The last step in this model is in our opinion the most beautiful: Who can help us to achieve the result more easily? Because alone you get somewhere faster, but together you get further!
