  • Elevate your leader presence to assume greater confidence with key stakeholders and recognition as a critical organizational asset.
  • Calibrate personal authority as a leader, allowing you to have greater access to persuading and influencing stakeholders within and outside the organization.
  • Define and implement your “brand” by strengthening key leadership behaviors in your role so key stakeholders see you as a confident thought leader with a high career ceiling.
  • Improve your work-life integration by prioritizing key priorities such as health, family, and things that are important to you personally and professionally.

High-Performance Team Dynamic Program

Teams are facing unprecedented challenges in our current work environments. The complexities of achieving business goals, revenue targets, and shareholder promises require elevated performance and strong team dynamics to achieve business goals successfully. Under the best working conditions, elevating to high performance requires commitment, trust and focus; in the midst and aftermath of a global pandemic, the stakes are even higher.

The Questage High-Performance Team Dynamic Program uses the powerful, scientifically validated Integrative Enneagram framework as a roadmap for elevating overall team performance quickly by understanding individual motivations and how they impact group dynamics.

This interactive, team-based experience promises to help high-functioning teams reach new heights by empowering stakeholders with a deeper understanding of themselves, each other, and their individual and collective pathways to grow and develop. 

As the only executive team building program of its kind, the Questage High-Performance Team Dynamic program helps managers, directors, and C-suite officers strengthen their resolve as a high-impact group by unleashing their full, collective potential. This program does not revolve around typical team bonding exercises that leaders are exposed to at corporate retreats and professional development seminars; rather, our executive team building program aims to elevate group performance by helping each member learn how to bring out the best in themselves and their peers. 

  • Each Team member learns their core motivations tied to their individual strengths and development opportunities, to increase individual and team output, performance, and impact.
  • Integrative Enneagram results produce a Team Profile that reveals the team’s core motivations, strengths, blind spots, and possible challenges, allowing the group to define and elevate its brand as a high-functioning, high-impact, high-performance leadership team.
  • Action plans are created to address specific issues to elevate individual and team dynamic awareness, build on the team strengths and address possible challenges.

Strategic Diversity and Inclusion Consulting

More than buzzwords, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of what makes leaders, teams, and organizations great. Research shows that companies that are more diverse and mandate a culture of inclusion are more successful, more adept at managing change, and better suited to manage resources. Diverse and inclusive organizations are twice as likely to meet or exceed financial targets, three times as likely to be high-performing, six times as likely to be innovative and agile, and eight times more likely to achieve better business outcomes (Deloitte, 2018).

Questage® helps leaders and organizations evaluate and improve their diversity and inclusion initiatives. Thanks to our hands-on experience working with leaders and teams to foster a culture of inclusion, Questage strategic advisors develop action-oriented plans for improving inclusion in the workplace. We also provide trusted guidance and support to help leaders and organizations facilitate and implement diversity and inclusion plans to create workplaces where psychological safety exists and people are encouraged to bring their whole and authentic selves to work.

Leaders of today and tomorrow are expected to have an expanded set of competencies, including those related to diversity and inclusion, beyond what was required of leaders of yesterday. Questage® Strategic Diversity and Inclusion Consulting cements behaviors, attitudes, and actions in leaders that are essential for shaping diverse and inclusive climates:

  • Assessing or being perceptive of the inclusiveness of a workgroup’s climate
  • Articulating expectations about behaviors expected to promote inclusion
  • Role Modeling inclusive behaviors for others
  • Reinforcing desired inclusive behaviors
