Team Development
Elevate your team's leaderfulness

Our team development services make learning & development matter through carefully designed experiences that cultivate and activate new levels of awareness and skill in the most meaningful ways (and places).

We facilitate collaborative approaches that acknowledge each team's existing systems and structures, projects and ways of working, and readiness for change. This enables us to operationalize learning in practical and impactful ways.

Is leadership development broken?

Create a (truly) leaderful team

Our principles for delivering impactful learning & development experiences

Our principles ensure we use our power consciously - as consultants and teachers - to affect meaningful change. Meaningful change in our field of work requires a level of commitment that goes beyond 'off-the-shelf' courses and annual conference training days.

Team-based

The days of putting the onus on one person to learn and come back with magical solutions to systemic issues are hopefully limited.

Our team development work requires a level of commitment from the collective - mainly in the form of openness, participation, and accountability.

Real-time

We acknowledge that the teams we work with are facing real issues today, and that they need to activate their learning sooner than later.

In addition to being engaging, all our team development work is designed and facilitated in alignment with the realities of our clients. In other words, we do this work with teams, not to them.

Traction-oriented

All of our team development work prioritizes activation, traction, and accountability.

By establishing clear priorities, success measures, and regular feedback loops, we ensure accountability does not fall through the 'busy-ness' cracks.

Testimonials

How our clients TACO-bout our team development experiences

“What distinguishes The Ally Co. is not only their in-depth knowledge but also their commitment to creating an inclusive and interactive learning environment. The workshop, carefully crafted to encourage active participation, sparked meaningful conversations amoung our attendees. The practical tools and strategies shared were immediately applicable, and the follow-up information provided by The Ally Co. further enriched the learning experience and ongoing conversations. The overwhelmingly positive feedback we've received about the event speaks for itself.”
Julia Perkins, Director of Mentorship at IABC Calgary
“Our leadership development work was critically important for us to function as a team before coming back to the office post Covid - given the dysfunctions and behaviours that existed previously. As a team, we’re a lot healthier and happier now. Going forward, I think people feel more safe coming back. This was a very important process for us to go through and The Ally Co. did a fantastic job to help get us here over the last 10 months.”
Rick Urbanczyk, Director of Facilities Services at TC Energy
“Working in the non-profit sector with a goal to create and nurture lasting social impact is extremely rewarding and fills a passion for so many. It can also be lonely and uncertain work, often leaving leaders and teams with more questions than tools and answers. The Ally Co.’s transformational leadership program provided real-time thinking and tools to help our team foster more collaborative, impactful, and healthy cultural practices. ”
Eryn Dewald, Past Executive Director at Children's Link Society
“We have been able to take our learnings and act on them, making them part of our day-to-day and helping to raise our team effectiveness, efficiency and trust.”
Shaun Corneille, VP Customer Marketing at BayerCrop Science Canada
