Whether a team is newly formed, adapting to change, or performing at a high level, Adelante provides support to help you achieve desired outcomes. With tailored tools and methods, we design and facilitate impactful team experiences and workshops that maximize both time and budget.
Assessments can significantly accelerate team-building goals, such as fostering trust, mutual understanding, and connection. There’s immense value in equipping teams with a shared, common language to discuss individual styles, talents, and strengths.
Our most popular assessment-based programs include the Team Strengths Learning Journey, featuring Gallup’s CliftonStrengths assessment, and the Everything DiSC Workplace Style and Collaboration workshops. Whether half-day, full-day, in-person, or via Zoom, Adelante delivers high-quality learning experiences tailored to your team. We also support team charter development, conflict management, building a culture of psychological safety, and other related needs.
Adelante brings extensive experience with executive leadership teams, offering a unique and impactful team development coaching model. Recognizing that each leadership team has distinct needs, challenges, and opportunities, Adelante provides customized coaching that addresses specific needs, such as:
- Newer teams or teams with new leadership seeking to define or reaffirm foundational elements, such as team purpose, goals, and charters, to ensure shared expectations, role alignment, and effective communication.
- Teams facing conflict, competing interests, or eroded trust who wish to invest in relationship repair and rebuild trust.
- Teams aiming to identify and leverage individual and collective strengths to achieve team and organizational objectives.
- Teams undergoing internal changes or supporting broader organizational transitions.
- Teams dealing with burnout, low morale, high stress, or disengagement.
- Teams focusing on specific growth areas, such as fostering psychological safety as a leadership standard or establishing a coaching culture.
- Teams interested in assessing progress, gathering organizational feedback, or evaluating overall effectiveness.
Adelante’s leadership team coaching model is grounded in the belief that team culture and relationships are key to high performance and deserve deliberate focus. Explore Adelante’s four core tenets of healthy leadership team culture.
Collaborative – Beyond basic cooperation, team members:
- genuinely value each other
- know how to leverage each other’s strengths
- recognize their interdependence
Diversity and differences are advantages to reach the best outcome. Team members want to see each other succeed individually and collectively.
Connected – Team members know the best ways to communicate with each other.
Regardless of the challenges of remote/hybrid working, they make it a priority to continue to deepen their connections with one another.
If something impacts their relationship, they use curiosity over judgment to help reconnect and re-align with each other.
Courageous – Though it is easier to stay in the comfort zone, team members regularly step into their growth zone. They make sense of their experiences through a learning lens that helps them:
- Stay open to accepting each other’s influence
- Engage honestly and authentically
- Value vulnerability and taking self-responsibility
This builds team psychological safety, interpersonal trust and a sense of acceptance and belonging.
Committed – When team members:
- are clear about the team purpose
- participate in establishing team norms and expectations
- feel valued for their role on the team
…they are committed to each other and their collective goals. They support each other to stay accountable and on track in a way that is centered on collective accomplishment and in the spirit of learning forward.

Adelante provides expertly facilitated coaching conversations for any two team members, including manager-direct report, leader-leader, individual contributor-individual contributor, and peer-to-peer.
Even in the healthiest organizations, the quality of team member relationships can vary due to the normal stresses of workplace demands and differences in style, personality, and approach. The dynamics between any two team members significantly impact overall team effectiveness. Fostering and maintaining healthy, stable partnerships among team members is essential for building a cohesive and high-performing team.
Partnership Coaching is a facilitation process that offers a safe space for two colleagues to engage in open and honest conversations about their working relationship, addressing both successes and opportunities for improvement. This effective process benefits team members at all development stages, from high-performing teams to those seeking greater cohesion and collaboration. Even in situations where misunderstandings and minor conflicts lead to misalignment, skilled facilitation and thoughtful coaching can foster mutual understanding and realign relationships.
Partnership Coaching sessions can be conducted for all team members or selected pairs based on specific needs and desired outcomes.
