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
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.
Renewal: Seeing Change as Opportunity
Everything cycles. Depending on where your team is in the cycle, you might be reestablishing your foundation, building trust, preparing to innovate, or navigating change. What matters is where you are in the cycle. Reestablishing foundation requires clarity of goals. Building trust requires psychological safety. Innovation requires risk taking. Navigating change requires resilience. Wherever you are in the cycle, you’re always in the process of renewal.
