Data-driven team coaching powered by the Birkman Method

Team Coaching & Productivity Engagements

Format:

Facilitated team coaching engagements designed to improve communication, trust, and performance using the Birkman Method.

Engagement Structure:

  • Pre-work: Team members complete the Birkman Method assessment and a one-on-one session to understand themselves and their data first
  • Live Facilitation: Interactive team session (virtual or in-person) focused on shared understanding and application to accelerate chemistry
  • Post-Session Support: Practical insights, documentation, and next-step recommendations

Session Length:

  • One hour for each one-on-one session.
  • Typically 2–4 hours for a core team session
  • Extended or multi-session engagements available for leadership teams or complex organizations

What We Cover:

  • How team members naturally work and contribute
  • What each person needs from others to stay engaged and productive
  • Where friction, miscommunication, or stress is likely to show up
  • How teams can adapt communication and expectations to work better together

Notes & Documentation:

  • Sessions may be recorded (when appropriate)
  • Key insights, visuals, and takeaways are shared with leaders and teams
  • Optional follow-up coaching for leaders or individuals

Why Virtual or In-Person Team Coaching with Birkman?

Most team issues are not skill problems—they’re perception and expectation problems.

Teams struggle when people:

  • Communicate past each other
  • Assume shared expectations that don’t exist
  • Misinterpret intent under pressure
  • Don’t understand how stress changes behavior

The Birkman Method provides teams with a neutral, research-backed language to discuss these differences without blame.

What Makes This Different:

  • Data-Driven: Uses the scientifically validated Birkman Method—not personality labels or surface-level styles.
  • Builds Psychological Safety: Helps team members understand what others need to feel respected, included, and effective.
  • Reduces Friction: Clarifies why miscommunication happens and how to prevent it.
  • Improves Trust & Collaboration: Teams learn to work with differences rather than around them.
  • Practical, Not Abstract: Insights are immediately applied to real team dynamics, meetings, decisions, and workflows.

Team Reporting & Group Insights

Career Upside uses real Birkman group tools and reports, not simplified summaries. These reports form the foundation for meaningful team dialogue.

Included Team Reports May Include:

  • Group Birkman Map: Visualizes team interests, usual behaviors, needs, and potential stress patterns.
  • Team Overview Report: Displays team component patterns, organizational focus, and differences in mindset.
  • Group Graph: Shows how each individual scores across nine Birkman behavioral components—making differences visible and discussable.
  • Organizational Focus Report: Reveals where the team naturally puts its energy (e.g., Operations, Strategy, Sales, Administration) and where gaps or misalignment may exist.
  • Mindset Context Reports (Optional): Explores team beliefs and attitudes in a specific context, such as strategic planning, leadership, or change. The sample report shows one person only, and team data must be combined into a group report.

These reports help teams move from “this feels hard” to “now we understand why, and what to do about it.”
