Team Development & Collaboration Workshop Facilitation

Build Teams That Think Strategically, Work Well Together, and Get Results

When teams are under pressure, collaboration breaks down. Silos harden. Smart people get stuck reacting instead of thinking.

That’s when leaders call us.

At Neolé, we design and facilitate expert-led team development workshops and retreats that help teams reset how they work together. So that you can spend your time doing important work instead of dealing with people problems.

What Changes When Teams Work With Us

Stronger alignment across teams and departments
Less friction, fewer misunderstandings, and better collaboration
Renewed focus, stronger engagement, and follow-through
Practical problem-solving and creative thinking on real challenges
Increased retention & attraction of top performers

By stepping out of the day-to-day and into a well-designed team development day, teams:

Speak honestly and listen better

Break down silos and realign
around shared goals

Move from reactive patterns to
thoughtful, strategic action

This isn’t team-building for the sake of morale.

It’s team development that restores alignment, momentum, and performance.

Stronger teams. Better collaboration. Less turnover—starting now.

Did you know that high-performing teams tend to attract and retain top talent?

When Growth Outpaces How Your Team Works

As organizations grow or become hybrid, complexity increases—but the way teams communicate and collaborate doesn’t evolve at the same pace.

You may be noticing that:

- - Your team is bigger, roles are less clear, and informal ways of working no longer hold
  - Communication feels uneven. Important context gets lost between meetings, chat, and email
  - Meetings multiply, but decisions stall or get revisited again and again
  - Strong leaders feel stretched, reactive, or misaligned with one another
  - Deadlines slip—not from lack of effort, but from friction, unclear ownership, and competing priorities

In growing, hybrid, or recently restructured organizations, these patterns are easy to fall into—especially without a dedicated L&D team to reset how people work together.

Smart, capable people work hard, but not always together. This leads to burnout, decision fatigue, and frustration. You risk losing your top performers.

When you invest in a team workshop or retreat, it has to do more than boost morale.
It needs to create real, lasting improvement in how your team collaborates, problem-solves, and moves forward.

That’s exactly where our team development workshops and retreats make the difference.

We don’t run generic workshops. We design facilitated experiences that change how your people think, problem-solve, and work together under real pressure.

We combine expert facilitation, neuroscience-backed tools, and carefully designed experiences to help your team:

- - Communicate more effectively
  - Understand each other’s strengths and thinking styles
  - Build trust and psychological safety
  - Work through challenges productively
  - Strengthen collaboration behaviours
  - Think more creatively and strategically
  - Stay focused, resilient, and grounded under pressure

Whether you need a team retreat, leadership offsite, or a series of team development workshops, we tailor the experience to your goals.

What Past Clients Have Said

Ginny is an incredible facilitator who provides wholistic, evidence-based strategies for balancing time and energy while creatively engaging her audience and promoting powerful dialogue. I would recommend her book and services to anyone seeking to reduce stress and find practical ways to prioritize wellbeing. Ginny will help you find the time and energy to live your best life—on your own terms!

Ginny from Neolé brought exceptional facilitation, engagement, and problem-solving skills to lead our senior leadership team in a dynamic half-day session. She guided us through understanding our preferred working styles and the power of psychological diversity in teams, engaged us in a captivating exploration of personal values, facilitated a creative project visualization exercise, and led a practical activity focusing on our shared commitment to specific changes. This session provided valuable insights into our individual and collective workplace culture and practices, equipping us with actionable steps for future success. We’ll definitely keep Ginny and Neolé at top of mind for future leadership sessions!

Neolé exceeded our expectations. The workshop helped open our eyes to innovation and the areas that we can strengthen as a team to help our corporate culture to be more innovative. We were very pleased at how organized and seamless the facilitation was with participating as large groups as well as entering break-out rooms. Our team was lacking connection because of COVID. This was the first time that we engaged with each other in a meaningful way. We felt connected and it felt good.

As Critical Techworks Director of Happiness it was a complete joy to work with Neolè. Ginny Santos participated in our Happiness At Work Week. It wasn't your usual wellbeing speech - it was fun, interactive, honest, genuine and inspiring. I hope we can work together again 🙂

The team at Neolé are a pleasure to work with. They joined the YWCA Canada team for a series of sessions to help us develop a Team Charter and map out an OKR process, all over Zoom. Each session was engaging, they introduced tools and discussion in a fluid way. They modeled remote collaboration systems that we have already added to our toolbox. I especially loved the addition of music during the quiet reflection and writing parts of the sessions. Thank you.

Since we started working with Neolé, stress levels on our team are way down! They deal with our ever-changing ideas and timelines with total expertise and grace, rising to any challenge. They've consistently enriched our events with trilingual interpretation, helping us to integrate art and music, and finding creative and innovative ways to engage participants. Tech pros with big hearts - what more could you ask for?! We're so lucky to have found them.

Neolé’s virtual facilitation services were an eye-opening experience for our globally-dispersed organization. The level of engagement and productive work that we accomplished rapidly turned skeptics into rabid fans, which is why we continue to hire Neolé.
