Services

There is untapped power in every organization that can only be accessed when teams come together and operate in a coordinated fashion. Each department is only as strong as the divisions which make up its operations. With that in mind, we work with teams to understand shared challenges and identify ways to support one another in the work all while having FUN.

Staff Retreats

We know that teams perform their best when each member feels engaged, with a belief that their work aligns with their best vision of themselves. Retreats help establish new levels of trust and comfort among team members. The goal is to restore a sense of calm confidence to public-facing professionals who find themselves in challenging times. This is followed by developing a sense of camaraderie by building bridges across teams and departments through group activities. 

853B offers a range of retreat focus areas, including team building, leadership development, adapting to organizational changes,  and more. To make sure our retreats have a lasting impact, we work collaboratively with our clients to define specific goals and customize each retreat to meet these goals. 


Coaching

Our team has certified executive coaches that have extensive experience working with senior leaders in government and the nonprofit sector. As a result, staff on any team are aligned with their purpose, can communicate clearly and operate at their peak with confidence in their ideas.  

Having a powerful mission is tremendous motivation but without additional support burnout can occur. That’s why coaching is a valuable resource at your disposal. Whether you are leading an agency, an elected official, or are a part of an executive team who is working from one crisis to the next, we can help you better manage any situation and strengthen your leadership skills in the process. Our coaches will help you and your organization maximize performance, increase overall satisfaction and breathe new life into your culture. To make sure our retreats have a lasting impact, we work collaboratively with our clients to define specific goals and customize each retreat to meet these goals.


Strategic Implementation

Implementation is easier said than done. As part of our services, 853B offers post-retreat strategic planning, in order to ensure gains achieved through coaching or a retreat are sustained.

We help your team identify top priorities, and set realistic benchmarks to achieve tangible, meaningful change. With continued support, we ensure that teams have the tools needed for sustainable personal and cultural change.
