Culture Practice:
First Team Workshop

 Transform Your Leadership Team Into a
High-Performing “First Team”

6 hours | In-person | Up to 15 leaders

Start leading as one team.

Leadership teams often operate as a loose coalition of departmental representatives—competing for attention, protecting interests, and working at cross-purposes rather than aligning around shared goals. 

Our First Team Workshop changes that dynamic. We help leadership teams evolve from a set of individuals representing their own silos into a united “first team” that guides the organization toward its objectives with trust, empathy, and accountability.

What is a First Team Workshop?

An experiential, in-depth session designed to help intact leadership teams practice the behaviors and mindsets needed to function as a cohesive, high-performing unit—a "first team".

Drawing from our proven “Culture of Love” principles—featured in our book Love As A Business Strategy—we create an environment where team members can unlearn outdated habits, dismantle limiting beliefs, and develop new ways of working together.

Who should attend?

  • Newly formed leadership teams seeking to build a solid foundation.
  • Established leadership groups grappling with baggage, toxicity, or plateaued performance.
  • Executive teams committed to driving cultural transformation and measurable business outcomes.
