CREATE A STRENGTHS-BASED CULTURE THAT LASTS
Keep up the momentum after your initial strengths kickoff
The real reason workplace cultures don't change after teams do an assessment together
When you roll out CliftonStrengths to your team, you have grand visions of a strengths-based culture.
- Collaboration is going to be seamless and easy.
- You'll understand every colleague's motivators.
- You'll assign work efficiently.
- It will feel amazing!
All of that is possible.
Yet, often, team culture doesn't change because people stop focusing on it the day after the initial conversation.
The truth is, most go back to work with great intentions, yet you let it fade. You quickly head back into a life of back-to-back calls and 200+ emails per day.
The good news?
You *can* harness all of that energy for your strengths-based culture before it falls off of your priority list! And you can do it internally, even if you don't have a professional trainer or certified strengths coach on your team.
I remember being in your shoes
The manager on a budget: I remember having a $2,000 annual team building budget. That's not enough to bring in an external trainer. And I didn't want to take them bowling for our offsite meetings - I wanted meaning. That's why I created this DIY Team Building Kit. It's for you to be able to continue the momentum from the CliftonStrengths kickoff. You can do it with support...and without spending 10k at a time.
The trainer with no time for design: I remember being the delivery arm for thousands of employees. I didn't have time to add instructional design to the mix. All I wanted was a starting place. Then I could add my own customization to have panache and company-specific examples. I remember senior leaders asking me to create content for an all-hands summit, and I wished for a design shortcut so that I had more time to rehearse and focus on delivery.
The strengths coach in a creative lull: I remember living in hotel rooms, going from event to event. I wanted to add other activities to my repertoire without having to take time off to design. It would have been great to have a resource like this to add to my options.
Introducing the DIY Team Building Kit - Here's What You Get
A $700 investment covers you for unlimited use in your workplace
Buy it once, facilitate it as many times as you'd like
It's delivered in PowerPoint format. You can run a single 4-hour workshop, or you can break it into 4 1-hour chunks if you prefer shorter lunch and learn style conversations with your team.
For those who like detailed scripting and notes, there' a separate guide for you to use as you prepare for your event.
You'll be covered with handouts that bolster your participant's experience with the activities. We're paper-friendly, so we won't load you up with stacks of print jobs - just enough to make it meaningful.
You're probably not a professional event planner, so we send you a helpful guide to maximize your venue (or office turned into a training room). It's full of tips to help your participants have a great experience.
I personally walk you through the spirit and intent of each slide or each exercise so that you can make the activities your own.
The PowerPoint is designed intentionally so that the Slide Master function allows you to easily re-brand into your organization's colors and fonts.
These optional resources give you the extra details you need so that you can build excitement for your workshop, and expand their learning beyond the time you have in the room together.
You can get different levels of 1x1 coaching with me in order to prepare you for your event(s). This helps you convert from the person who attended a strengths kickoff with Lisa...into the strengths champion who is facilitating rich, ongoing conversations and activities with your team.
I want to show you what is possible as you roll out
a strengths-based culture in your workplace
Say goodbye to...
- Showing up as the frazzled, under-prepared facilitator who stayed up late trying to pull off a decent event
- Dozens of hours tweaking slide designs
- Finishing your workshop design one night before you deliver it
- Running to the printer with a rush-job because the handouts are not ready
- Wishing "they" would do something so that you don't have to manage all of this
So that you can...
- Show up at your workshop, feeling refreshed and inspiring for your audience
- Focus your time on proactive, culture-building ideas
- Integrate strengths in company-specific ways
- Guide ongoing strengths-focused conversations with ease and grace
- Lead the change you want to see in your company

Frequently Asked Questions about the DIY Team Building Kit
Either one. We designed it so that it could be your first time or your 5th time delving into a strengths workshop.
It's definitely appropriate as the kickoff event (although there's not a bunch of "why strengths" preamble). It's different from the one we deliver to clients because we wanted people to have an answer to "what's next" without having to pay us every time. It's also a set of activities that a team could do on their 4th go-round.
