Solutions include:
Sometimes groups develop bad habits. There are groups that implode with infighting and groups that work terribly inefficiently. Some members will rely on others to do the heavy-lifting, and over time this breeds ill-will and poor group morale. We offer group dynamics assessments to address where are the main pitfalls and then coach group leaders accordingly. Likewise, we can offer targeted analyses to review and revive the group culture, by strategically assessing individual players’ strengths and weaknesses. Book Now!
Developing new teams is a delicate and important step in many corporations and organizations. Individual personalities, strengths, and even hobbies can play a part in how the team performs. We can assist management in matching complementary skills and personality types, to bring out the best in each player and optimize team performance. Book Now!

By assessing leadership dynamics and habits, we create action-plans for organizations to become better equipped to handle grievances, change or challenges. We propose systems for handling disputes in order to prevent unnecessary escalation that drains valuable time and resources.Â
Conflict Management System Design (CMSD) is a comprehensive review of policies, grievance processes, and organizational systems to consider how workplace conflicts are addressed. Through a process of interviews, document review, and structural analysis, consultants identify the current systems for handling disputes and highlight weaknesses and unrealized opportunities for improvement. This feedback invites senior leadership to apply systems updates for smoother, clearer, and fairer processes for handling disputes.
Harmony Strategies provides coaching for a variety of roles and situations. We coach those who are preparing for a negotiation or a sensitive conversation with a loved one, as well as those seeking guidance on their next career moves.
