Team building & team development for you and your team

Strong cooperation. Clear rules.

Appreciative communication.

  • Does your team work hand in hand – or rather side by side?
  • Are conflicts addressed openly?
  • Is there an appreciative feedback culture?
  • Have new team members joined?
  • Do intercultural differences play a role?
  • Do you want a team that stands united behind you?

“Coming together is a start. Staying together is progress. Working together is success.”

Henry Ford

A team-building workshop outside of everyday working life offers space to strengthen trust, address conflicts and grow together as a team – all in a protected and appreciative environment.

Together we develop:

  • Binding communication and feedback rules
  • Clarity of roles and responsibilities
  • Understanding differences and needs in the team

The result: more togetherness, less tension

You and your team know each other better, have built up trust and created a common basis – for better cooperation, fewer misunderstandings and more joy in achieving common goals.
Conflicts are addressed more openly, resources flow back into the actual work. Absenteeism decreases, satisfaction increases. Employee loyalty grows . And you save: Energy, time and money.

What you might want to know...

 

1. When is team development useful?

Team development is always worthwhile when a team is starting over, needs to reorganize itself or wants to grow together. An accompanied process can also be very helpful in the event of tensions, communication problems or after changes (e.g. new management, restructuring).

2. What is the aim of team development?

The aim is to improve cooperation, strengthen trust, clarify roles and develop common goals. The team becomes more capable of acting and is better able to master challenges together.

3. How does team development actually work?

The process is individually tailored to your team. We clarify your concerns in a preliminary meeting. Depending on your needs, this is followed by a half-day or full-day workshop or a series of meetings. My methods are varied, practical and solution-oriented.

4. How big should a team be for team development?

I accompany teams of three to around 25 people. For larger groups, we coordinate the procedure individually, for example with several facilitators or in subgroups.

5. What distinguishes team development from supervision or coaching?

Team development focuses on cooperation, i.e. processes, communication and collaboration. Supervision is often more regular and reflects on a team's professional practice on an ongoing basis. Coaching, on the other hand, is usually aimed at individuals or managers with a specific concern.

6. How long does team development last and how often does it take place?

It can be a single workshop or a longer process that extends over several months. It depends on your goals and framework conditions. I will be happy to advise you on the most suitable form.

7. What does team development cost?

The costs depend on the duration, group size and location. I will be happy to provide you with a tailor-made offer.

8. What if there are conflicts in the team?

Even then, team development is possible - under certain conditions. If the conflicts are already very deadlocked, conflict moderation may be the more sensible way to start. I will help you to classify this.

M. V., Manager and Dentist in a Dental Practice

Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde very quickly succeeded in strengthening us as a management team in structured coaching sessions and her professional feedback helped us a lot in the further development of our management style, the structure in our practice and also in holding team meetings to discuss current issues in order to avoid new conflicts.

Dr. P. B., Lecturer and Head of Department at a Berlin University

With a great deal of commitment, classic and unconventional training methods, she was able to sensitize the colleagues in our workshop “Team building through feedback”. For teachers, receiving personal feedback in a group of colleagues is an unusual situation. With her professional moderation and a great deal of sensitivity, she mastered this excellently and led the workshop to a "tangible" result in the form of feedback rules that we developed together with her. The result will accompany the colleagues in the department in their future work.

Dr. M. B., Engineer/Managing Director of a Company in the Aviation Industry

With her background in mediation and coaching and her skills as an intercultural trainer, she was able to guide the German-English team through the workshops. In linguistically very difficult situations and in heated discussions, she was able to contribute significantly to the success of the workshops through simultaneous interpreting. Ms. Kostadinowa impressed and inspired my colleagues and me with her engaging, people-oriented manner, her humor and her strong personality.

G. V., Dental Practice Manager

Both the team and my partner and I have come to know and appreciate Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde's warm-hearted manner, her humor and her structured leadership. She asks smart questions, picks up when things get very emotional, shows ways forward when one or the other is stuck in a mental dead end, is always empathetic and patient and continuously gives appreciative and helpful feedback. We all felt strengthened and understood by working with her. Her working style has also deepened the understanding between us and promoted cohesion. My partner and I now have a strong and motivated team that we enjoy working with every day.

S. K., Coffee Import Company Manager

I was given lots of energy and positive tips and left each session with lots of feedback and inspiration. Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde takes on the personal story - in her manager coaching sessions - and thus deals specifically with the individual professional situation. I always came away from a session feeling stronger and knowing that I could count on honest feedback from Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde. Thank you for your great support in my day-to-day work!

A. S., Remedial Teacher, Assisted Individual Living for Mentally Ill People

I met a woman who touched me with her authenticity, sensitivity and high level of professionalism. In the team supervision sessions, Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde ensures a balance between extroverted and introverted participants. I am particularly impressed by her sensitive attention to the words that are spoken and, above all, to the words that are not spoken. Recognizing the issues without judgment, with a clear focus on solutions, without losing the naturalness, I clearly name as an outstanding strength. I am grateful that Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde makes the world more understanding, clearer, happier and lighter. I wish Mrs. Kostadinowa-Rohde much health, strength and joy to continue to bring her great work into the world.

T. S., Dental Practice Manager

I had a team coaching session with my practice team and Ms. Kostadinowa over several sessions. The reason for this was to gain understanding for my colleagues and to achieve better cooperation in a growing team. Even though the team was a little skeptical at first about what to expect, Ms. Kostadinowa quickly won everyone over. Through several exercises and team tasks, we were able to grow together better and address problems openly. Even though everything is a process and takes time, it was helpful and also very informative for me as a manager. I can only recommend it to any manager who wants to grow together with their team. The employees were also able to learn something new, whether for their work or how to deal better with conflicts in their private lives in future.

C. S., IT Company Executive

Ms. Kostadinowa supported us in a complex process very competently, sensitively and with a lot of patience and thus contributed significantly to team improvements on various levels. I can recommend you and your skills!

J. S., Head of Daycare Center

We worked as a team with Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde and it cleared up a lot of things and brought them to the surface, so that we now have a much better team atmosphere. I would work with her again at any time.

F. M., Research Center Manager

Ms. Kostadinowa has been accompanying my team and me as a conflict moderator and management coach for several years - whether in times of crisis due to Corona or when changes in the team, change processes, etc. have led to tensions in the team. She works with us primarily with the entire team, but sometimes also in pairs or in individual sessions - both in person and online. We are more than satisfied with her performance and look forward to further discussions with her. Thank you very much for your support.
