What is Team Clock®?
Team Clock® transforms teams, impacting company culture and morale. By identifying and addressing the obstacles interfering with performance, teams can spend more time focusing on their work and less time on the politics of their workplace. Team Clock gives teams the tools they need to adapt to change and repair themselves for the lifespan of the entity.
How We Help
All relationships travel through cycles of growth and change. Whether it’s two people in a partnership, a team of people with a common goal or an organization with a mission, the living entity evolves through predictable stages. At the beginning, the team makes an INVESTMENT in a future together and carefully defines its direction. As the team becomes close and discovers how to work out differences, TRUST becomes the fuel for connection. The foundation of shared values and accountability becomes a platform for INNOVATION. This exploration creates change, which requires some DISTANCING to adjust to what has been lost, refuel and adapt to the new circumstances.
"Teams are messy. Conflict is unavoidable. Dynamics flow with the circumstances, mindsets, and emotions of the members involved. Graduates of top-tier schools are exceptional individual performers, but often struggle in teams."

60 Seconds on the Team Clock
You Get What You Give
Your job hunt has narrowed to two finalists. What kind of boss will bring out the best in you? You are ascending the ranks in your organization and are defining your leadership style. What is the best way to exude strength? Growing up, many of your role models achieved success by exerting control. However, you’ve noticed that they’ve paid a price in their interpersonal relationships. Are you willing to sacrifice friends, family, or professional connections to win whatever race you are running?
The Difference Between Midnight and Noon
Midnight and noon both occur at 12:00. One is dark and the other is light. The Team Clock model sees the 12:00 moment as a liminal transition. When a relationship, team, or organization successfully navigates a period of change, they get to move from a state of depletion to a burst of energy. So, why is it so hard to break through? Why are so many teams willing to endure the pain of feeling stuck when the freedom of new circumstances offers relief? Often, the answer is fear.
