Who the 5 Voices for Teams is For
Executive Teams
You need your leadership team rowing in the same direction. This gives everyone a shared language for how they think, communicate, and make decisions.
Department & Cross-Functional Teams
Your people are talented individually but struggling to gel. Different communication styles are creating friction instead of momentum.
Growing Organizations
You're scaling fast and the cracks are starting to show. New hires, shifting roles, and growing pains are straining the culture you worked hard to build.
Teams in Transition
Mergers, restructures, new leadership. Your team is navigating change and needs a framework to rebuild trust and alignment quickly.
The 5 Voices for Teams Process
5 Voices for Teams is a six-workshop series designed to transform how your team communicates, collaborates, and performs. Each workshop is 2-3 hours and builds on the last, taking your team from individual awareness all the way to sustainable high performance. Between workshops, your team completes personal and team exercises through the GiANT OS platform to reinforce what they've learned.
Workshop 1
Discover Your Leadership Voice
Teams can't communicate well until each person understands how they're wired. In this first workshop, every team member takes the 5 Voices assessment and discovers their foundational leadership voice, what each voice brings at its best, how the five voices interact, and why certain team dynamics exist. This is where people finally have language for the things they've felt but couldn't articulate.

An understanding of why certain dynamics exist on the team

Workshop 2
The Power of Your Voice
Now that your team knows their voices, it's time to understand the impact those voices have on others, both positive and negative. Your team will work through their tendency patterns, uncover their triggers, and learn how the over-representation or under-representation of certain voices affects performance. This is where people stop taking things personally and start seeing team dynamics through a completely different lens.

Understanding of how voice imbalances affect the team
Tools for leading yourself before trying to lead others
Workshop 3
Relational Dynamics
Communication breakdowns rarely happen because of bad intentions. They happen because people don't understand how trust and influence actually work. In this workshop, your team will learn how trust and influence are built (and broken) in relationships, identify the barriers to trust on your team, and take the Team Performance Assessment for the first time to establish a baseline for where you are right now.

Workshop 4
The Art of Collaboration
Most teams think they're collaborating when they're really just coexisting in the same meetings. This workshop tackles what real collaboration looks like by introducing the Communication Code, a framework for understanding how each person naturally communicates and where their blind spots live. Your team will also build Rules of Team Engagement, a set of agreements for how you'll communicate, give feedback, and work through disagreement going forward.

Workshop 5
Optimizing Team Performance
Your team has the awareness and the tools. Now it's time to turn that into consistent performance. This workshop helps your team define what high performance actually means for your specific group, how to maximize productivity based on each person's voice, and how to create alignment by harnessing the contribution of all five voices. Your team takes the Team Performance Assessment again to measure progress since Workshop 3.

Workshop 6
Team Performance Kryptonite
Every team has kryptonite, the patterns, habits, and blind spots that silently sabotage performance. This final workshop brings them into the open. Your team will identify the specific threats to your performance, from gossip and drama to misalignment and unresolved conflict, and learn practical tools for defeating each one so the gains you've made throughout the program actually stick.

Your team learns to address tension head-on with tools that turn disagreement into stronger outcomes instead of fractured relationships.
Stronger Collaboration
When people understand how their teammates are wired, collaboration stops being a struggle and starts being a competitive advantage.
