What Holds Us Together: A New Workshop Series for Teams Who Want More Than “Nice”

Teams thrive when connection is real, not just polite. Here’s how we’re helping make that possible in 2026.

You want your team to be connected. Communicative. Capable of moving through difference without breaking trust.

But even with the best intentions, many teams get stuck:

• Conversations stay surface-level
• Misunderstandings quietly pile up
• People are “nice” but avoid the hard stuff

And not because they don’t care. Quite the opposite.

In our work with teams and organizations, we see it all the time: people deeply want to do better — to communicate clearly, navigate tension, and show up with integrity. What gets in the way isn’t a lack of goodwill. It’s that each of us brings different cultural patterns, different stories, and different assumptions about what connection looks and feels like.

That’s why we created What Holds Us Together — a new workshop series designed for teams who want to build shared language, shared skills, and shared courage.

Why This Series?

Because trust doesn’t come from policies. Inclusion isn’t built in theory. And connection isn’t the absence of conflict — it’s the capacity to move through it.

This three-part series is for teams, leaders, and communities who want more than performative DEI or surface-level culture work. It’s for groups who are ready to:

• Understand how identity and story shape how we relate
• Slow down and stay present when things get complex
• Practice real repair when trust gets strained

Every session is practical, accessible, and human. No shame. No jargon. Just grounded facilitation and the kind of skills that actually shift how people show up with each other.

The Workshops

Each one stands alone. Together, they build a gentle arc.

Workshop 1: What Shaped You?
Explore the cultural, familial, and personal stories that shape how you show up in communication and conflict.

Workshop 2: Intent & Impact
Learn to navigate the space between what we meant and how it landed — and how identity and experience shape both.

Workshop 3: Curiosity & Repair
Build capacity to stay in relationship through tension. Practice repair that doesn’t bypass, blame, or bulldoze.

Who It’s For

We designed this series with organizations in mind — especially those led by values-aligned people who care deeply about culture but don’t always have the tools to move through conflict or difference.

Whether you’re a People & Culture leader trying to support your team, or a program director who wants less burnout and more belonging, this is for you.
