Increase the capacity of your organization and see through challenging dynamics
& function in a more holistic and restorative way
Organizational Capacity Building
Program Design
Meeting the needs of your diverse team’s objectives for capacity building and wellness programs includes multiple ways to engage with the learning; workshops, dialogues, interactive activities, instructional, or collaborative project-based. The three categories below are basics pieces or your design to build the most effective and accessible offerings and schedule for you. Other services or modules can be discussed on an initial consultation call.
Communication & Relational Skills
Here are both hard and soft skills development your team can immediately apply in all parts of their lives. A collection of key modules can set the stage to shift your organization to center healing and restoration in relationships rather than extractive and exploitative norms of communication.
Some examples of modules include:
Three Levels of Listening
Empowering Language
Managing Triggers
Cultivating Healthy Boundaries
These can all be delivered in many ways; virtual, in-person, hybrid, online self study course, etc..
Group & Private Coaching Sessions
This work can be tender and vulnerable. I highly recommend allowing your leaders to have safe and dedicated space to work through the experience of the program, privately.
Group sessions accommodate for more practice time with peers or out in the real world, critical to processing and integrating the skill building tools.
Please visit the Coaching Services page for more information about coaching services.
Team Building Services
Create the holistic approach to transforming your teams dynamics by including a team building healing hike in your program.
Unique to other types of nature outings, healing hikes place your team into a safe and sacred space to process their experiences in direct contact with nature.
Individual growth happens simultaneous to the team creating a shared experience to heal through challenging moments or relationships. It’s truly a profound way to take the workshop modules from theory into practice, in direct contact with nature and its elements.
“Healing hikes and the other services Rino provides are situated somewhere between wilderness therapy, mindfulness practice, and corporate team building”
How to Build Your Program
Take some time to understand what your organization’s needs are at the moment. You can follow the list of reflection questions below to help you get started on a journey to create your organization’s dream program!
Pre-assessment questions:
What specific area of support am I looking for?
better communication skills, programming design, stronger relationships, alternative team building experience, etc…
Identifying specifically what your team’s needs are will be key in narrowing in on the focus and whether I can provide support in those areas.
How ready is my team to do the work?
staff are requesting support, leadership sees potential in cultivating workplace wellness or address ongoing issues, there’s been a sharing of resources or previous effort to receive support
As a decision-maker, you don’t want to blind-side your team with a mandatory or exploratory effort to adjust or change the way things are going. Knowing there is some level of readiness to tackle the needs of your team/community can show up in many different ways. Think about how these have shown up and be prepared to share this story with me!
Is there existing buy-in at the leadership or team level?
you can speak to an existing budget or allocation of funds to work on your team’s needs, higher level decision-makers like directors or supervisors are advocates for this work and may already engage in some form of wellness whether on the personal level or within the organization on some level
Coming to the table with a better sense of how this investment in your staff will operationalize shows a level of readiness and buy-in. Make sure you’ve gone through the process of “proposing” or “convincing” your leadership that this is well worth the long-term health, wellness, and success of your organization.
What conversations have happened to lead you here and what are key talking points to share with Raynelle?
there’s a story to tell and a chain of events that have led you to reach out for outside support, someone recommended my firm and the services qualify for your interest in moving forward, your insights tell you the nature-based approach will resonate
Being able to bottom-line the key points from the story that has led you to me not only saves us a tremendous amount of time on a call, but we can also identify your core needs. As I listen I pay attention to the level of urgency, practical ways my services align to your needs, and whether you can clearly identify the trailhead (or starting point in our potential work together). A valuable takeaway I can offer you on a call are the hidden dynamics that may be playing a key role in your challenges and why the needs are showing up.
Even if our call doesn’t lead us to working together, there are still valuable resources and practitioners I can share with you so that you land the appropriate support system!
